How to Fix a Losing Month

It's pretty easy. Just hit the nuts and win $40 in two hands. :D

Enough of the big boring informative posts! Days like today are why I enjoy playing poker and it's more fun to talk about them.

It's been kind of a lame month (poker wise) up until today. I was busy with travel and social life which was awesome but I had to scramble a bit at the end of the month to make anywhere near my goal for hands. To add to that, I have made second best hands a hell of a lot this month and was down over about 2000 hands.

I have AQ? Opponent has KK.
I have KK? Opponent has AA.

Sometimes you make the correct play and you lose in the short term. No biggie, but it definitely didn't spark my interest to try to play more in my already hectic schedule.

Then I played today....

And stuff like this happened....



KAPOW!

I love it. The money went all in AFTER the turn card so no I didn't suck out thank you very much. Notice the sidepot for a whopping grand total $24 pot pre-rake.

Then later ( I didn't screencap this one because I was too busy screaming with joy like a Southern Baptist) I managed to hit 4 of a kind aces when my opponent hit his full house. He kindly opened up his e-wallet and dumped the contents into my lap. Huzzah!

The reason those hands are so beautiful is because my opponent had an awesome hand worth going all-in with but I still have him beat. It doesn't matter if you have a royal flush unless your opponent has something good enough to call bets with. I could do no wrong tonight in that respect. All my big hands got paid off!

What an odd exciting night. It had been a crappy grind for the majority of this month but I'm back into the green! That makes 5 months straight where I've turned a profit.

Now it's off to the cabin this weekend for some R&R, but I'll hopefully have a proper monthly report up some time next week.

Until then, enjoy this video that sums up my night...on a much grander scale of course :)
