Back home - big screens, big swings.

I'm back home for xmas break.

Had a great day on Friday - lots of parties, followed by a big party at night, followed by a football match on Saturday which saw a lottttttt of hangovers. We won 6-0 which was suprising.

Came back on Saturday night. My extra monitor arrived so I have been playing on two 30" screens. It's prob a little too much, but it's pretty cool:







Played a lot of hands on Sunday. Finished -9k. It sucked. I lost a lot HU to a guy that really isn't very good. But sometimes that just happens I guess.

On Monday I played 300 odd hands, finished +7k, which was really nice - to bounce straight back from a losing session.

Today I played just over 1k hands and finished +10k. Won the biggest pot of my life during the session. Here it is:



$10/$20 No Limit Holdem
4 players
Converted at weaktight.com


Stacks:
CO ($6889.53)
BTN ($768.00)
SB ($2236.00)
Hero (BB) ($4951.00)

Pre-flop: ($30, 4 players) Hero is BB

CO raises to $60, 2 folds, Hero calls $40

Flop: ($130, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $80, Hero calls $80

Turn: ($290, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $220, Hero calls $220

River: ($730, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $700, Hero raises to $4,591, CO calls $3,891

Final Pot: $9,912
Hero shows:
CO shows:

Hero wins $9,908 ( won +$4,957 )
CO lost -$4,951




Against a better player I don't like my shove on the river, but against him (from what I have played with him) it's fine.

I don't think I will get to play for a few days. Xmas eve is normally a big night out, and i'm fairly sure I wont have the desire to play on xmas day!!! Perhaps a couple of hands on Boxing Day. +$47k for the month.
