His and Hers Profits!!

So the rakeback for June came through and boosted my account by $74 which is just as well because it was looking pretty sorry and might have needed another top up. I've been reading up with Dan Harrington and v1:strategic play and been using the help of John from Laddies who has been a real star helping me to improve. He's answered so many questions and given me hand examples which have given me more on an insight into what top level poker players are thinking.

Last night proved to be a profitable session of poker once I'd settled down onto the 25c/50c 6-seater cash table.

I did some good work identifying the types of players that were playing, which is my latest focus and one which I wanted some improvement on. I managed to double up without taking any risks and attacking the agressive players at the right times. Then this had came along:

Begin Hand Number 783917792 at 09:46:10 on table Pipeline

Table Type: Normal (Non-Tournament)

Game Name: Texas Hold'em

Stakes: 0.50 / 1.00 Real Money

Active Players: 6

Total Pot: $133.77

Rake: $3.00

moody2blue has the dealer button

Hobbo2006 posts small blind ($0.25)

Lisa_the_pro posts big blind ($0.50)

vitargo calls for $0.50

chancher raises for $1.00 (with 96o??)

Inexplicable folds

moody2blue raises for $2.23 with AA

Hobbo2006 raises for $3.21 with QQ

Lisa_the_pro folds

vitargo folds

chancher calls for $2.46

moody2blue raises for $7.38

(at this point I put him on a better hand than me AA, KK, QQ (unlikely), JJ or AK as when I'd re-raised him before he either folded or called.)

Hobbo2006 calls for $6.15........ (I called thinking about folding if I didn't get a set.)

chancher calls for $6.15

Dealing Flop Qc,Kc,6s......( bargain....... little bit worried about that K)

Hobbo2006 bets $7.45....... (quarter of the pot to encourage a raise)

chancher went all-in for $11.30....... (not sure about this move but not worried about him at all.)

moody2blue calls for $11.30..........( i'm sure here that if he'd had pocket Kings he'd have moved all in here and I was thinking that him only calling is him backing off the hand or looking to get his set with AA)

Hobbo2006 calls for $3.85

Dealing Turn Td

Hobbo2006 bets $63.73......( i'm thinking that I must be ahead and moody definately has a hand and it's unlikely to beat mine..... he certainly doesn't have AJ in his hand.)

moody2blue went all-in for $35.02

Hobbo2006 receives returned betting money ($28.71)

Dealing River 9d

moody2blue shows cards pair of Aces

Hobbo2006 shows cards 3 of a kind queens

chancher shows cards two pair 9's and 6's...?????????? lol

Hobbo2006 shows Three of a Kind, winning $130.77

Hand Ended at 09:48:17 - Elapsed Time: 127 seconds

So all happy there.... ended up with just over $200 on the table. Claire played a 10c/20c table whilst I was playing and after a shaky start managed to leave with $80. So overall profit for the night was $190 or £95......

I've been sensible and taken out £50 from the account to bring down the expenditure so check out the updated figures!!
