The cards were running even better than last night and I think the fish like to play on Saturday mornings. After 81 hands, 44 more BB added to the bankroll. This shit is too easy! This hand was my favorite…

I probably should have been more aggressive, but I went into call mode because I figured that someone had to have a better hand than one pair. MP2 was raising all the time with garbage so I didn’t put him on anything better than a little pair, but I figured for sure someone else was slowplaying two pair or trips. Three hands later came this hand…

Fish will be fish! Gotta love Party Poker!

The cards are running good. I played 165 hands of .50/1 today on Party Poker and walked away over 70 BB in the positive. The fish were all trying to swim up the river, but not many could “flop” over the dam. It was quite a rush. Now I’m just bracing for the other side of variance to hit.

I even played two tables at once for the first time on Party. It didn’t seem to hurt my concentration at all. If anything, it kept me focused because there was more going on. In a matter of about two and a half weeks I’ve managed to double my starting bankroll of $300 if I include the bonuses I’ve gotten on the deposits. More and more confidence in my game is a good thing, as long as I don’t get too confident I guess.
