Another solid day
I had a pretty good day today as well. I ended up winning about $3.2k with most of the hands coming at $2/4 NL 6 Max on Stars. I was playing on Stars to unlock a $1.5k bonus, which I cleared today as well. I played 8 tables to clear the bonus faster and it went pretty well, although I did make a few pre-flop mistakes. I also made one spewy bluff with Ten high in a 3-bet pot which didn't work out at all...
Anyways, Ryan, a HU pro from Fargo (who is also a member of my Destined2pwn poker group) came up for the night and he set up his computer just across from mine and grinded out some hands. He had a few very swingy sessions against wild opponents and ended up down a bit. I saw him play some ridiculous hands where his opponent shipped an underpair, pocket 44 on the flop and held vs Ryan's two overs and flushdraw. Sick life. Ryan also bricked on another huge draw when the same villain checkraised all in on the turn with TT on a JXXX board. They were deep of course.
I donked around at bit at HU, $1/2 blinds deepstacked. I finished up from my first match vs. the same opponent when 4 tabling. But then I lost most of it back to 3 random, terribly passive donkeys. They all ran really good vs me and I ran AK into AA AIPF for a stack once which hurt.
Anyways, the HU play was fun but I think I'm going to stick to 6 Max for sure. The variance in HU seems like it's pretty brutal. It isn't something I really want to deal with, at least not right now.
Back to the grind tomorrow.

that 44 hand still baffles me.
