Graph for 9/4/2009, with commentary

Haven't played all that much for the last few days. Been busy with the girl, but I am on $5nl now and have mostly just broken even when I've had time to play.

I don't know what it is with the $5nl games on Full Tilt. They were quite loose when I played before, but now they're just nitty. Well, the games are loose, but no one is putting money in without the nuts or near nuts. Three times today I've been effectively stacked when I was outkicked by one rank (e.g. a 54/27 calls/calls/calls pot sized bet with AQ on Q72r flop when I have KQ.) None of my good hands were getting much action, but I did adjust well by floating and double-barreling and I actually have a better than break even red line, which is quite surprising for the micros.

Another great session. Had a two buyin pot with a flush over set. Still running > 40bb/100, doubt that's going to last forever though..

Great morning. Had a donator at one of my tables that was shoving almost any two. Snapped two buyins with AKs and TT vs A5o and 55, respectively. Also had some strong semibluff shoves that helped my red line a bit. Already two-fifths of the way through $2nl already, running at a ridiculous 37bb/100 over 2.5k hands, and I've gained about $4 in rakeback so far. I have about $70 in rakeback accumulated in this week from playing $25nl before I started the challenge, thinking I'll take that with my $50 Best Buy card I got as a bonus at work and buy something nice. :)
