RESULT: UP $95.40

STATS: 43.6% VP$P/21.2% PFR/2.87 AF

Won at Showdown: -$23.25 <-- some of this is due to the start of the game, two awful awful aggro players, the first 75 hands or so was all about having the best hand at showdown. Otherwise, we'll see how it goes in the future.

4 way 3-bet pot, I flop more than a good enough draw to go all in with. The set of kings had 59% equity, I had 40%, UTG had 1%. His dead money plus all the money in the pot from the preflop action made it a hugely profitable play for me.

Villain here is the guy i referred to in my 7-game play as a stud specialist. He joined the game about halfway through. This was in my last orbit, I'd lost $55 in my last two orbits, and was really worried about seeing KK here 250 BB deep. I have enough history playing w/ this guy that I don't think his range is very wide here and if we get all in I'm not going to be a big favorite ever, and might be crushed.

I don't have a lot of experience playing this deep against competant players. If I wasn't about to quit, if I was more settled in at the higher level, I go all in here. But quite simply, I wasn't willing to risk my stack in my last orbit. That's a bad bad way to play. He told me after the hand he had AQJx with the heart draw. He was a 52/48 favorite in the hand. The right play is to get it all in there. But I'm really perfectly fine ending my first session at $50 PL up two buyins and not in a coinflip situation for $250.


FTP BANKROLL: $1125


I'll continue to play $50 PL tomorrow, I'll give myself a 3 buyin leash, I'll drop back down if I hit $975. I would write more but it is past my bedtime $50 is very, very beatable. I'm very hopeful that I can play well and avoid running bad early and make this stick. But I'm not going to push it and play way under-rolled for too long if things don't go well.
