Single session record.

As I continued my pursuit of the Partypoker Bad Beat Jackpot, I turned in a nice 4 hour session playing 8 tables at 600NL. Result: $8,529 in the bag, for 20.73 BB/100 over 3,429 hands. WUHU!

Here are a couple of hands. I didn't run hot in all of them.
First hand:

Party Poker

I know the other guy well, and played him perfectly, and still lost a thousand dollars.
Second hand:

Stack sizes:
UTG: $600

This one is debatable. I knew even before I bet the flop that I was in for a tough spot if he raised me. Of course this shove is never even worth considering without some serious history.

People get crazy sometimes. Especially when they are 3-bet a lot preflop. The trick is to know if you are dealing with an aggressive guy gone over the edge, or a patient guy who hit his monster. Experience and stats are needed to make that decision correct as often as possible.
