Had a winning session again yesterday at the local (?) casino. Not huge, but still within the target range of what I’m trying to take out. I was up a little more at one time, but just couldn’t seem to get over that point. After a few additional hours I decided to cash out and call it a day.
Overall, I was happy with my play. Made one call on the flop that I shouldn’t have; knew the opponent had an over pair to the flop. I flopped top pair with a weak kicker. Not a wise call. But that was the only one I can honestly say that I shouldn’t have called.
Just one of those sessions where I couldn’t get the momentum going. Next!
Funny — I opened CarbonPoker this afternoon and noticed I had a few dollars in the account, so I decided to play a little. Got called light (knew it). Opponent had JT when I had A6. Typical CP board came: KQKA6. Opponent made straight on turn and the river gave me a second pair.
I’m now broke there — thank goodness. It’s a really weird place to play. Not at all the boards one sees in live games.
