Wow I havent play much

I haven't play much this month, mostly cause of my problems with the software and my pc. Only have put 3k hands in this month (Usually I could do this in a day when multitabling). But now I'm playing mostly 2 tables and 4 tables sometimes cause I want to get better with my reads. I started playing at pokerstars and want to build a roll there, but I still like better FullTilt.

I'm also playing a lot of tournaments cause I want to practice for the big ones. Didn't make the money on the 750k on FullTilt cause I did a stupid mistake preflop and kind of loose focus for a bit. However I did played on the pokerdynasty free-roll (which is always a lot of fun to talk with a bunch of the guys) and manage to win. I did made a suckout vs the 2nd in chips on the final table with 5 left, but at the time I thought that if I reraised allin he can only call with super premium hands which he had (KK) but of course I hit a set of 3's on the turn and the rest is history.

I have the HH's so I can make a video of the play using a hand converter, I might actually put it on here for people to see.

Today I played a short session of 100nl on FT and won 1.5 buyins in 200 hands which is always nice.

Here is my favorite hand of the session. (pretty standard, but its been a while since I put a hand)

Hero (CO): $117.15
BTN: $97
SB: $229.20
BB: $100
UTG: $263.35
MP: $100
Pre-Flop: A T dealt to Hero (CO)
2 folds, Hero raises to $3.50, BTN folds, SB calls $3, BB folds

Lex's read: I've been playing LAG and stealing 54% of blinds so I 'm not gonna get a lot of respect.
Flop: ($8) 3 4 A (2 Players)
Lex's read: Here Is the perfect flop. I usually dont slowplay, and a lot of pp will call my cb, but this is the kind of situation I'm way ahead or way behind so I decided to check so that he never gives me credit for the ace.

SB checks, Hero checks
Turn: ($8) 4 (2 Players)
Lex's read: Now I have to bet, I decided to bet only $6 cause now a pp can raise me and I can put him on a tough spot on the river. Also it kind of looks like a small bet and he may wanted to float me once with overs.

SB checks, Hero bets $6, SB calls $6
River: ($20) Q (2 Players)
SB bets $11, Hero raises to $26, SB calls $15
Lex's read: Now he leads into me. I'm not that sure he calls a big bet here, but almost a minraise he can called with worst so I did the raise for value since he doesn't have me beat here like never. I think a bet like to 28-29 could be better, but still I got maximum value on the hand. He turned over KQ.

Results: $72 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed A T (two pair, Aces and Fours) and WON $69 (+$33.50 NET)
SB mucked and LOST (-$35.50 NET)

Ship It!!

I will be playing tomorrow on the satellite for the Aruba Classic package, so lets hope I play good and win a couple of coinflips. Goodluck!
