Ok, so maybe I wasn't running good afterall.....

...maybe I just SUPPOSED to win this much! Actually, I know I have been running above expectation for pretty much the whole month of March, but it doesn't seem like anything too out of the ordinary is happening. I am still having my fair share of bad beats and cold decks...ok, maybe not my fair share, but its not like they haven't happened at all lately.

After having my best week so far I am off to another great start of my week 5. I have played two sessions online and they both were just over 4 hours long for about 3700 hands total. The first day I was playing 5 tables of $600 (6 max) and there was one player that was very clearly an awful player who would most certainly be losing all of his money if he played long enough. Sadly, he left my table shortly after I had really started focusing on exploiting him. I decided I would take a flier and do a search for him to see if he was playing at any other tables. To my delight, I found him playing at another table, but this table was 5/10 NL! I immediately put my name on the waiting list and a seat opened pretty quickly. I eventually busted him, but not how I expected too....I got my money in as an 3:1 underdog with only one card to come and I got there....just like I planned it!

So after my first two days of week 5 my results look like this:
Online: +$3,279 (8.5 hours)
Live: Haven't played any yet, but I probably will tonight after bowling.

I am really starting to get comfortable playing 6 max poker and feel like I am a big favorite in the games. Another great thing about 6 max poker is I think it will be much easier to move up in limits because there are so many more 6 max games running. Also, Since multi-tablers can play fewer games of 6 max and there are more 6 max games running the good regulars get spread thin and don't saturate every table like they do in the full ring games. There are several reasons why 6 max poker is more profitable, but I think this is one that gets overlooked.

I am running behind and if I don't cut this blog short I am going to be late for bowling.

Wish me luck on my first ever back to back weeks of bowling a 600 series.
