Another two hour session last night. Hampered by my laptop power connection finally giving up on me and having to switch to a desktop that is reaching the autumn years in terms of its useful life.
I switched over from the laptop $40 up but then had to play blind for 20 minutes due to Poker Tracker problems and ended up dropping $13 of my gains before realizing I needed to reboot and just quitting.
On one table there were a frequent limpers so I bumped it up with QQ and made medium bets on a rag flop with QQ to take down a pot from 88.
Ten minutes later and five limpers to me in the Big Blind. I raise to $2 and Under the Gun shoves for $22 more to me. I pause to give the impression I’m considering it but make an easy fold pretty sure he has Aces.

*** FLOP *** [5d 4h 3h]

I have an overpair but with so many players in the pot and the initial raiser with position on me I think it’s going to be a case of set or forget.
Phillberto01: checks
SUCKOUTTOBY: checks
Oh well I get a free card. I know he may be a slow player though.
*** TURN *** [5d 4h 3h] [9d]
hukilai: checks
DonSuavecito: checks
With draws on the board I don’t want to mess around.

Looks like he was slowplaying a monster. Aces or trips I reckon.

I opt to get it all-in just in case it’s a draw.
Phillberto01: raises $26.95 to $42.95 and is all-in

Uncalled bet ($19.15) returned to Phillberto01

Thanks for the stack, fella.
One more session and I have enough points to buy Harrington on Cash Games Volume 2. Still not finished Volume 1. I hope it give my game a further boost.
I'm now at 60% winning sessions (laptop stats). Now tracking to be very hot on Deadly’s heels come Monday with a $145 bonus and a decent weekend session if I can fit one in.
My new tactic is to get up before the wife and kids and then make the breakfast when they get up. I get brownie points and FPP star points!

Getting up early to play poker? That's crazy!
'Tis indeed. It started off after crashing early after a day on Lamma_Jim's birthday junk.
Its dependent on having a reasonably early night which isn't that likely. The best part is that it seems to coincide with a lot of loose presumably drunken play.
It's part of my full-time hours for a part-time wage going pro-plan.
