Best Online Cash Session Ever!

I prepped for today's session by watching a Card Runners video on No Limit Hold'em. I did not learn much new except for one nice play that I used to stack an opponent. Follow along as the deck hits me up side the head.

Serves him right for calling my raise with Queen-Ten offsuit. He deserved to get 5 outed on the turn.

This hand let me know that CylusBallin was a bit of an over aggressive maniac. It's pretty silly to bet that much with two pair into a flush and straight draw.

In the aforementioned Cardrunners video, the instructor played a hand with a weak Ace out of position. Instead of leading out when he flopped the Ace, he check called three streets. The instructor had raised preflop and since the opponent only called, he ruled out hands like AA, KK, QQ, AK, and AQ. I believe the flop was A-K-Q rainbow. Since he knew that his opponent was likely to bet if shown weakness, he strung him along for three streets of value.

Watch how this hand develops in a similar way.....

RAISE CylusBallin ($4)
FOLD kizza_om
RAISE larryvq ($13)
FOLD Viceroy333
FOLD cndee412
CALL CylusBallin ($9)

Since he just calls the reraise, I don't put him on AA or KK. He may have AK so I will play carefully.

FLOP:

Pot: $27.5


CHECK CylusBallin
CHECK larryvq

I am way ahead or way behind on this flop. Since there are not a lot of draws possible, I check it through for pot size control and to induce a bluff.




TURN:

Pot: $27.5


BET CylusBallin ($18)
CALL larryvq ($18)


RIVER:

Pot: $63.5


BET CylusBallin ($80.95)
CALL larryvq ($80.95)

The overbet shove is really good sign that my hand is good here. If he has a monster like a set of Tens or even AK, he would bet smaller hoping for a call.

RAISE kizza_om ($19)
RAISE larryvq ($50)
FOLD pugz12
CALL kizza_om ($31)

kizza_om had a tight aggressive profile. I thought he was capable of making a squeeze play here, especially since pugz12 was playing 41% of his hands preflop. I was not very excited when he called my 4 bet raise.

FLOP:

Pot: $109.5


CHECK kizza_om
CHECK larryvq

Ok this run of cards is getting a little ridiculous. Why should I bet and blow him off QQ or JJ here? Let him think I have Ace-King and watch him bet.

So my final total for the night was 181 hands for a profit of $502.70. That is my best online cash session ever. It's in my top 3 all time for cash games. Now I know what it feels like to run as good as Jamie Gold or Jerry Yang for at least an hour or two.
