What happened to day 6 of the DoB?
Saturday, August 18th, 2007 | Double Or Bust
I have found that the most important part of playing poker on the internet is an internet connection. If you can’t connect to the internet, I don’t care how good you are, you are not going to win any money. True, you won’t lose any either…
Over the past week or so my connection has been spotty. Then, earlier this week my connection up and died completely. The cable company came out and slapped a band-aid on the issue, but have not resolved it completely. Apparently that’s going to happen early next week. I did play a day 6, I just wasn’t able to post about it until now.
Level: .10/.25
Minutes: 94
Won: $19.70
Hands: 109
BB/Hr.: 25.15
BB/100: 36.15
VP$IP: 26.61
This session is a perfect example of how I go about playing online poker. I’m almost always working on something else at the same time. I pretty much sit back and play strong hands or play hands from late position. While winning several $2 and $3 pots and a couple $9 - $12 pots, I didn’t lose a single pot over $2.50 until near the end of my session where I lost $9.50 after flopping top set. I would have loved to have stayed and played longer at this table but simply ran out of time.
The hand that cost me the $9.50 was pretty straight forward. A player limped from first position. Another player limped between us and I raised with pocket 9s. The button called and so did both of the limpers. On a flop with 2 spades and 9 high, the guy in first position bets $4.00 which is about half his stack. The middle limper folds and I min-raise which is enough to put the button all-in if he decides to call, and also puts the first position guy all-in. The button folds and the bettor calls. He turns over A/4 of spades for the nut flush draw. I was able to dodge the spades, but wasn’t able to dodge the guy’s runner-runner straight.
I was happy to get my money in on that flop. Even if he makes his flush on the turn, I would still have 10 outs to make quads or a full house on the river.
In 90 minutes at this table, I didn’t face one tough decision. I made one play at a pot with 2/2 after the board double-paired on the turn to counterfeit my hand. Other than that, it was pretty much ABC poker.
