Grinding it out, one day at a time

I played 135 hands of 6-max NL25 last night on Full Tilt and walked away with $3.75 which works out at 5.56PTBB/100. I’m not going to be able to retire anytime soon but it’s better than a kick in the teeth! I would have turned an extra $12 if it hadn’t have been for the following hand.

Villain in this hand was running at 13/3/2 over 60 hands and hadn’t really stepped out of line at any point, just seemed a bit of a nit. Anyway I raise to $1.50 to loose the guy who had just posted and Villain flat calls. Flop isn’t too bad but I have to bet out here and he flat calls which gets me thinking. The turn brings another 5 which doesn’t really bother me as it’shighly unlikely to have helped him unless he’s called my raise PF with 33 or KK both so unlikely I dismissed them. I am very worried about AK here though as he’s that tight he’s only re-popping preflop with KK+. When he flat calls my turn bet I know I am beaten and I think this is confirmed when he pushes on the river. I don’t think he’s capable of floating me here and I think it’s a good fold, how about you guys?

Well that is the last of the poker I’ll be playing this year. I have work behind the bar tonight which will be pretty busy and then tomorrow is New Year’s Eve which is madness for the pub trade as you can imagine and I plan on being a lot pissed so that is me done! I do have the first week in January off where I plan to get my challange off to a flying start and hopefully log around 10k hands.

Thanks to the readers and visitors of this blog and I sincerely wish you all the best for the coming year. I hope it is everything you want it to be and more besides.

Happy New Year all
