Finally, a winning session...
I played for over 8 hours today on Stars and played 4k hands and finished up $460. This isn't the greatest result ever, but at least I won. Of course, I ran below expectation again by about 2.5 buyins... but that is getting pretty standard nowadays so I can't really complain about that. I should probably just expect to run bad and be happy if I run average or better.
I guess another good thing about the session was that I unlocked a $1,500 bonus that I got from using my FPP points, so that was nice. I'm now up to about $8.5k in my Stars account and still have a ways to go until I reach $20k.
Here are a few hands from the session:
Made a sick fold here, villain was a solid regular. I miniraised it pre-flop because I didn't want to get 3-bet really, didn't want the fish to fold, and I had position. Plus moves like this pre-flop just make me look like a donkey sometimes and I think that kind of baffles/ confuses the regulars. After he jams there is like no other hand I can put him on other than a set of 7's... so that's what I think he has, I fold, and he shows the set of 7's! soul read!

I'm including this one not because it was a bad beat, but for the sheer humor that this dude stuck in the money there with KK... This was a player who actually had decent stats and didn't look like he was totally clueless. I don't know what he was thinking, but I nearly folded my bottom set because of the BB's ridiculously strong checkraise... but I couldn't bring myself to fold so I shipped it in and got it in with the best of it.

This is a hand I won, and I think I played it pretty well. I'm not so sure if I really like my river check, as it allows him to check behind sometimes if he thinks his flush is too small... whereas if I shove he has to call with almost any made hand since his pot odds will be so great, but it worked out anyways I guess. Villain is a pretty solid reg.

That's it for now, gl at the tables.
