Of course wouldn’t you know it the cards only come at the $5 table. Of course, what is new? I managed to almost triple that buy-in. At the $10NL table I lost my buy-in when my full house jacks and kings lost to full house kings and jacks. But that happens so I did not get too pissed about it.

I bought in again and wasn’t really able to do anything with it. I had AA once but it folded around to me on the BB (hate when that happens). I also flopped quad 4’s and tried to slow play it and let the flush draw catch up but it never did and I only got like a dollar out of it or so.

All in all I ended the session up about $5

My biggest problem right now is figuring out how to get max value on my hands. I have figured out what bets need to be made to thin the field out. But since people can be playing anything – and I mean anything – it’s hard to know what to bet when you have a monster.

I did manage to hit my raked hands target so I should get my license for Holdem Manager, so that should help me keep track of my play much better during this experiment. It is important to use these poker tracking tools, and if you do not, your opponents will use them against you and massacre you.

I plan to sit down and log another session at Titan Poker this afternoon hopefully. Let the poker gods be with me.
