3:37am: Tonight was pretty much the opposite of last night. Last night, every decision I made took a lot of brain work, and the hands I played tonight pretty much played themselves.

There was one big hand I would like to speak about. I had KK on the button, and 6 people limped and it’s to me, so I make it $40 to go pre flop. I get 5 callers. The flop comes: AsKc5d. The guy in the small blind led out for $125, and he was having a REALLY bad night. However, every time he had bet he had a monster, so I knew this hand was probably going to the felt no matter what. I just decided to put him all in. He then says to me, “this is gonna be a bad beat for somebody. I hope you don’t have AA or KK. I call.” At that point, I put him on a set of 5s, however that was not the case as he flips over AK for top two pair. Of course I would have rather him flipped over a smaller set, because now he has two outs instead of one.

Anyways, the turn and river were complete bricks, and I took the whole pot to the tune of about $550 profit. The rest of the night consisted of stealing small pots in position, taking advantage of my tight image to make +EV plays, and I caught a few decent hands — all of which led me to end the night at +$700.

While this wasn’t everything that I lost yesterday, I didn’t expect it to be. My goal tonight was to just play solid, and not to worry about results. Whatever happens, happens I told myself. Fortunately what happened was a pretty good night with some very easy deicisions. More later…
