So since returning from Indonesia I've been a little busy and havent had too much time to update my sessions so I'm going to bundle them into this update:
September 4th: +338.95, EV +3508
5th: +5221, EV +3516
7th: +10501, EV -675
Obviously the smooth sailing from last month has continued and I certainly seem to have been getting some run good from steemit posting!
I also played what I think is my biggest hand of the year so far. To give a quick bit of background, I had been reraising the opponent pretty frequently and winning a number of midsize pots off him with continuation bets. He makes a standard raise on the button with AQQ4 with three diamonds and I make a standard reraise with my AA. He then proceeds to make a non-standard, but for from terrible reraise. I thought briefly about slow playing but in the end popped it up to a little over 2k and he called.
With 4k already in the middle and about 5.7k each left to play for there was no way I was folding on this flop. When he decides to play so strong before the flop he is quite unlikely to have hit anything much on such a low flop, so I bet, expecting him to fold most of the time. Unfortunately he moves all in and shows a hand with 49% equity. A gutshot straight draw and nut flush draw to add to his pair of queens. Fingers crossed...
Devastation. My opponent turns the straight immediately and I'm basically dead. I throw up a little and prepare to watch him gather up the 15.4k that could so easily have been mine. Only the three non diamond fours can save me
Booooommmmmm!!!!!
The most beautiful card I've seen this year takes me from a 7% chance of winning to scooping the pot!!!
