With another losing live session adding to my recent woes it was with a little trepidation I dipped my toes back into the shark filled waters of bamba poker.
That didn't last long as I swim with shoals of little fishes instead. I end my first session 45 euros up. I have one hand where I flop quad 8s when it flops j88. Having called a raise I let the initial bettor continue and another caller sticks around. A jack lands on the turn and I'm thinking if anyone is holding a jack I'm getting their stack. There is a small bet made from the initial raiser and I just call. The river brings a third jack and I lead out strong but seriously considering the possibility of having to lay down quads! He just calls fortunately and his pocket kings are no good.
I head back for a second session after a trip to the beach. My luck is running good and the competition soft again as I run up a 36 euro session. Great news as I eradicate my disastrous spell and now can count myself as a winning player again at Bamba. With 97 bonus points to go and 3 days to do it I should escape with 150 euros to the good.
Meanwhile Bigshot strikes a deal with Deadly to fund his new stars account so he can begin to take on the tournaments there.

Played a couple of 25NL tables Sunday for around 1.5 hours whilst la famile was snoozing in the afternoon. Built up a nice $15 profit on each - before getting felted all in with AA against 66 preflop. I raise OTB and BB re-raise, I reraise to $25 and he goes all in (he had me covered) - I call and flop is KJ6, next two are blank and I'm touching cloth so to speak.
I rebuy and he leaves - git! Later I get felted on the same table again with AA - this time however I called an all in with trips vs a flush draw and the flush came out.
Luckily I continue to improve on the other table and end up down $10 on the session.
Seemed to benefit most calling Short stackers all ins with big hands - they were getting frustrated and therefore loosening up. Just have to avoid getting it in against the bigger stacks - but AA pre-flop, who's going to lay that down for any money?
