Won on Stars today

I played 3,000 hands and ended up winning $1,150 which was a decent result. I also accumulated enough VPP points to hit the 200,000 VPP milestone for the Stars VIP program... so I'll be getting a $2,000 bonus within the next week sometime.

I only got felted for 100 big blinds twice. Once was just a flip loss AQ vs JJ all in pre-flop and the other one was sort of unavoidable.

I ended up turning the nuts and just shoved the river because the opponent was a pretty big idiot... he probably has a lower flush here the majority of the time so I still like my play. I can never really know that he had a set on the flop since he didn't even raise my flop bet... the board was super wet too on the flop so I would have thought even an idiot would raise a set there... guess not.

This one was also kind of unavoidable. Villain is a fish again, so I did a stupid looking 3-bet on the flop to make him do something spewy/ build the pot if he has a King with a weaker kicker that he might fold to a bigger re-raise... once he bets the river it looks like he's blocking with something like KQ so I shove it in and somehow he has two pair. Value owned myself here.

Now for a winning hand:

I played this one definitely non-standard because he was a reg who would probably expect me to play it more standard... also he was somewhat nitty and could get away from a one-pair type hand sometimes to a big checkraise. I dont' really like his shove there because I'm only calling with hands that beat him.

All the other hands were pretty standard. I guess this was a pretty average session overall, with nothing too out of the ordinary going on. I'll be hitting the tables hard tomorrow as well.
