Follow my transition to online poker!

Getting a later start to my day then I had planned but Fantasy Football got in the way this morning. Speaking of Football…good ole Detroit Lions look as terrible as ever..yay…

Ok onto what this whole blog is about! I will post a couple of my big hands just because my biggest losing hand of the session was only $.30!

Overall it was a good session! I had been playing Full Ring and SnG’s at Full Tilt and did pretty well but was mostly a slightly losing to break even in Full Ring cash games and slightly up in SnG’s. I actually have more than $100 if it was to be needed, I just deposited $100 since getting money on only takes a few seconds, getting it off takes a week+ so if I were to go bust I can just reload (knock on wood). The reason it started at $91 is because I messed around with some 7 2 and Stud and have never played them online and won’t be any time soon again!

Not much to be said about this hand, I was just worried about getting all the money into the pot somehow and I was fortunate he caught a good enough hand to oblige. This was one of my first few hands, great way to start out! I have had no luck online getting any money in the pot when I hit quads so this was nice.

This hand I had gone a few rounds without getting a hand that is even remotely playable at this table as there has been a lot of raising, reraising and all-ins. Decided to play A10s UTG and it worked out beautifully.
