I figured at the end of the day today I'd do just a little bit of online poker before heading out for the evening. I had just re-read some sections of "Small-Stakes Hold 'em" last night and was feeling all pleased with my play. I sat down at two $3/6 tables and proceded to get completely smacked in the face by the deck. Sit down to two pair, kings and 9s. $40 pot there. Other table I sit down to AKs, flop 4 to the flush, and my lead-out bet gets no callers. Only $16 there, but it was still a good sign. I proceded to get a few flushes, a couple of open-ended straight draws that came through, and pocket aces twice in 3 hands (both of which held up for a $70 and $80 pot) at one of the tables. Bottom line, I made $200 in about 20 minutes. Granted, my win rate of around 60 big bets/hour (a good player will average about 3) was completely unsustainable, so I quickly got up before the cards went cold and went for a nice bike ride, but it was still a lot of fun. I'm hoping I'll get similar cards tomorrow at Casino Arizona, but confident that I'll play patiently and well regardless of what I'm dealt.
