Today I am still continuing the most ridiculous run I have ever been on playing NL10. The hands won't stop, the juicy tables are plentiful, and the donks are more than willing to hand me their money. I played only a very short session so far today (maybe no more than 60 hands) because one table broke down quickly and I cleaned out the two donks on the other. I was up 1 1/2 buyins again. I managed one nice sized pot when I hit a flush while drawing to straight and flush draws. After that pot I continued to play aggressive against the fish at the table and then took another nice pot with KK......

$15 Pot w/ KK

I wish I could have looked for new tables to play but unfortunately it's time to get ready for work. I work a short shift tonight so there should be plenty of more cards to come. Hopefully I can keep up my 26 ptBB/100 win rate. LOL. Rakeback came in last night right before I went to bed. That juiced me up another 4 buyins. Like Christmas in October... I've gotta stay disciplined and not move up early but I am really itching to take another shot NL25. I'll keep you guys updated, I'm sure I will post soon.

Wow.....I've possibly been running as hot as ever. I have made a few good plays here and there. Thing is, I've managed to pull a 1-outer, catch AA 7+ times, hit a backdoor royal flush, and flop top set countless times in the past two days. This is the first time in recent memory my cards haven't seemed to be arctic. I have taken only a couple rough beats but with the hands I've been catching I can't complain. Since the 30th of September I am up 5 Buy-ins over only 1200 hands. That plays out to about 20 ptBB/100 hands. Ship It. Rakeback should be coming in the next couple days and will bump me up another few buy-ins. I've gotta stay focused, NL25 could be in my future before the end of the year.

On another note, I signed up for an account on Carbon Poker. I've played the freerolls just trying to get a feel for the site. I really like the program overall. Only problem is that PokerTracker doesn't support it. Big problem if I wanna multi-table cash games. Well I'm looking for some sites to expand to. Tough here in America though... Any suggestions just post them as comments... Bodog? UB? Red Nines? Cake? Anything else?

Well here's the sick hand history from my backdoor royal. Really a bad call by me but with the short stack he could have anything and I may have more outs than I think (Yes, I know I'm a donk).

Backdoor Royal (LOL!)

Well I really hope this winning trend keeps up... Well I'm off to a Carbon freeroll...Have a good one guys....

Today I was up 1 1/2 buyins after only playing about 90 minutes. I feel like I'm playing well once again. I have gotten plenty of sleep lately and I think it contributed to my solid play. I have also focused on separating my personal life from the poker tables and it helps a lot. Poker gives me a chance to get away from things and really focus on something I love. Anyway... I was on quite a hot streak of cards today and I played at some juicy tables but I don't feel like I should take all the credit away from my play. I would never have been ahead if I wasn't playing good poker. Now for a couple hand histories.....

This was one of the first hands I played... I decided right away that I would snatch up every pot I could...I wasn't about to be pushed around....

Here is a hand to prove I was running good....Thought I just got outdrawn...but...not so fast!

Later, a complete donk comes to my table raising nearly every pot. I catch a monster in my SB, his BB, I just shove LOL, my trick play confuses the donk and he calls (wow us micro-donks are ridiculous)
Poker Hand

Well none of those hands really displayed skill but more memorable hands.....I think there is more skill in picking spots and picking up small pots and getting the donks to pay you off on the big ones.. At least that's how it is at the micros...Well, that's all for now, hopefully I can post some more positive sessions soon....
