A Good Start

I just finished an hour and a bit session, I like to keep my sessions quite short generally so I can focus maximum attention on them. I am going to have a break for a while and then hit the tables again.

The session went really well... I have been thinking that there are some absolute nutters on in the mornings UK time and this session just proves it!

Here's My Stats:

Hands: 442
VPIP: 17.19% (Didn't really get the cards)
PFR: 12.67
Amount Won: $127.47
BB/100 Hands: 28.84

Some cracking hands from today already!:

This guy was completely drunk. He was typing in all manner of rubbish in the chat box and even admitted he was hammered! He must have thought he was onto a winner in this hand. Shows the danger of giving free/cheap cards! It also shows that min raising out of position is not to be recommended. I called the reraise with position, flop a gutshot, get a free card, get a flush draw as well on the turn and call a small bet, and rivered the nuts.

This next hand was pretty standard. I make a weak lead out of position into the other two players with my flopped set, begging to be reraised. The guy who had KJ was an absolutely terrible player who I have added to my buddy list. To be honest, I am amazed I didn't stack him on the flop with what he had. I gave him some respect and made some good folds before I got his PT stats after 25 hands, I think I folded the best hand several times against him, his stats were 88/16! He had just reloaded after getting stacked before...

And we all like a good bad beat! Here's one I inflicted earlier. The guy went on tilt afterwards, it was highly amusing. When will people learn that QT is not a hand you want to call raises with out of position?! I would probably have folded to a strong turn bet but his bet was so weak, I just thought sod it, lets go for it. Nice river:-)
