So far so good in January

I have had a pretty good in '08 having one of my better single days in my poker career. I made $232 in cash games and came in 4th in a $4.40 180-man S&G on Stars (good for a $54 cash). Also I've recently found 30NL FR (Deepstacks) tables which are total fishing ponds. For those who are interested, deepstack tables mean you can buy in for 200 big blinds vs. they typical 100. Here are my cash game numbers from yesterday (does not include the few hands of 50PL FR I played yesterday):

50NL
Hands: 844
P&L: +140.55
ptBB/1oo: +16.65

30NL (Deepstack)
Hands: 854
P&L: +105.25
ptBB/1oo: +20.54

Today (Jan 4) started off terrible when this 2 outer hit on the river:

MP3 ($37.60)
CO ($47)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Jd, Jh.

2 folds, MP1 raises to $1.75, 5 folds, Hero calls $1.25. (no stats yet, so I just call)

Hero checks, MP1 bets $2.75, Hero raises to $7, MP1 raises to $27.5, Hero raises to $55.25 (All-In), MP1 calls $23.50. (woo-hoo! I got a set and got villain to put all his chips in the pot!)


Turn: ($105.75) 5d (2 players, 1 all-in)


River: ($105.75) Ac (2 players, 1 all-in) (crap. he hit 1 of the 2 cards he needed. boo! I was a 91% favorite to win. Ugh. Oh well)


Final Pot: $105.75

Results below:

Hero has Jd Jh (full house, jacks full of aces).
MP1 has Js Ah (full house, aces full of jacks).
Outcome: MP1 wins $110.


But then, this hand comes up and I make my money back and then some:

1 fold, Hero calls $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50, 3 folds, Button raises to $1, 1 fold, BB calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50. (a min-raise? I call everytime with these HUGE odds)

I hit my set and get 2 people to go AI with me with the same hand - can't believe both were willing to get it all in with TPGK!). With them having the same hand, it really hurts their number of outs. I was a 99.34% favorite to win!!!!!!!!!!!)
