Heater

After running bad for what feels like the last few months, its nice to come across a bit of a heater.

It started on Tuesday, after the normal slow start to the session failing to cash in the first 8 games (although the very first was a bubble), I made a final table with a decent stack. I messed it up tho by not playing aggressively enough with tens in the big blind verses a big stack's min-raise. He ended up rivering a straight with 8 10 suited and I was gone in 7th.

Furious at myself, I grabbed some dinner and cooled down. Thankfully I knew what I had done wrong and vowed not to make the same mistake again. I came back after dinner and final-tabled all 4 of the games I played, with no worse finish than 4th. I was on 3 final tables at once which was a nice change from failing to cash and bubbling. My best finish was a 2nd but I didn't feel too bad since the guy I was playing against was a very good player. I sucked out on him once or twice when I was well behind on the flop but couldn't do it one more time when I shoved with ace 5 and he had 7's in the big blind.

The hot streak continued when I played a short session on Friday night, cashing 4 out of 6 games (and one of the misses was a 10th), again my best finish being a 2nd place. So with the two sessions combined I went on a streak of cashing 9 out of 11 games, which was extremely satisfying. Not to mention good for the bankroll as I went from around $1150 back up to $1370. I'm probably going to play again tomorrow night so hopefully this current heater continues for a bit longer.
