The Tuesday evening session was a profitable one. I followed my latest common trend of losing a bit early, about 2/3 of a buy-in overall before coming on strong.

The tables weren't overly strong, and I had luck on my side when I'm in a coin-toss situation.

I didn't win any monster pots. Here are the 4 biggest hands that I'm involved in:

Opponent was respectable and not out of line (just look at his stack). I just can't put him on a 6 in this hand. He told me afterwards that he had KJ, which was believable. Could I have extracted a bit more money from him?

Opponent played his trips too slowly and allowed me to catch a miracle 4 on the river, where he paid me in full.

This happened before last hand, with the same opponent. A race situation, with my TPTK against his 14-out pair+draw hand. I am relieved that my hand held up, and I gave opponent kudos for a hand well played.

Some dude decided to slow-play his trips until the river. Little did he know that I have already flopped a house with 33.

My moderate wins more than offset my minor losses. The end result is that I have erased the effect of the stinker Monday night. I was back up to 643.

I also played a brief morning session Wednesday. It was a grinding session, as there weren't any loose donks spewing chips. There were no big memorable hands. I made 2 bluffs that failed; perhaps I should just give up this play altogether when I am 3-tabling. I was bobbling between -15 and 15 for most of the session until towards the end when I hit two straights that were paid off modestly. I left with 663.
