On the Scottwire

I finally decided to take a stab at 3/6 6max. I started with a table on Golden Palace and my second hand I preceded to get smacked down with AJ against AK when 2 aces flopped. So I was -60 after my first couple rounds at the table. I managed to get about 15 of that back and down only -45.

I didn't let that hold me back and decided I'd go to Party since I have a bonus pending and I have the added value of PokerTracker. I brought up a couple tables and got onto the waiting lists after seeing that there were a couple of bad players at each table. As the waiting list went down I got more and more nervous. Unfortunately when I finally got on these tables, just like earlier, I started out down. I was getting eaten alive by some aggressive players and it took me a while to get my bearing and the balls to play back with nothing couple of times.

So at one point I was down about -130. -80 on one table and -50 on the other. Then I figured out what the hell I was doing and everything started to click. I also got lucky when the sharks started leaving the tables. At one point I was heads up with a really bad player who looked like me when I first got on the table. He folded to almost any aggression. So the -50 table suddenly became +10 :) On the flip side, my -80 soon became -30 when I flopped a set. I played about 2 and a half hours or so and finished up +90 overall.

I'll try again tonight and see if I can do the same. I have a goal to make $2000 by the end of the month. I'll include bonuses in that to make it a little easier on myself :) Until next time...may the flop be with you.
