Running hot, up over 700k online

February 24, 2009 by Brian Townsend  

Brian TownsendI have started to really run hot towards the end of this month.  I have been allowed to play on stars again and I put in one session this morning.  The games were amazing.  I am really looking forward to playing there.

I have even enjoyed some success at 50/100 this past week, which feels great.  This month I am up 190k at PLO and another 10k at NLH.  As for my challenge I know have over 700k online.  I am proud of myself since September 1st I only had 100k online.  I even went through some really frustrating times at 50/100 where I lost about 300k.  If I had better results there I would be doing amazing.  I still have another 100k to go before I can start taking shots at the 200/400 games.  I am really looking forward to it though.

Here are some hands from me running good.

I played bomberman HU at 50/100.  He’s very aggressive and we get it in a coin flip situation for a 45k pot.  I think both are plays are fine, though I think his is a bit more marginal, but still okay.

Here I win a 24k pot with one pair at 25/50.  The stars games were great, but it is hands like these that I try to remember when things aren’t going my way.  There are big swings in PLO which is evident from hands like this one where I had 40% equity three ways preflop and on the flop.  There are alot of times where you will lose two or three pots like this one, and you have to be sure not to tilt.

Here it’s almost an opposite scenario.  I am up against aces yet I suck out.  I am in no way trying to say PLO is all coin flips, it’s not but when you are running at 32bb/100 over your last 3k hands like I am you are winning in these marginal spots.

I don’t really know what to say about this hand, other than my line probably isn’t the optimum one…

Free rolls are fun, but definitely a setup.

I could show a few losing hands, but there weren’t many the past few days and I like to focus on the positive.
