Fourth Day Of Cash Game - Pokerstars Challange

I played two sessions today, 1770 hands total with a profit of +$38.55. I collected 200 VPP points today; if I collect 200 everyday than I should finish this challenge soon.



Here's my graph for the full 4 days of cash game I played, 5051 hands total. Total profit in cash game; $162. I was checking my hand histories and I picked up j2 offsuit 58 times and lost everytime with it. Kings, I was 17 for 17 but than ran into aces 3 times in a row the next 3 times I had kings. Luckily, I won one of those so I'm 18 out of 20 for kings.

Here are a couple hands;

I was bluffing a lot today and i was surprised it was working in the low stakes NL25. Like here's one hand, I nearly folded turn but I figured I had 10 outs = 20%, pot is $11.35, I'm getting 3-1 on a call plus implied odds. I wasn't planning on bluffing the river but the 10 was a great scare card. Any 9 would give me a straight so I pushed all in for a pot size bet.

  3. Thanks for comment. So you live in California? I live in Canada, not too far from Casino Niagara and Fallsview Casino.

    So you play live? What games do you play? I never played live but I want to. The lowest stakes for holdem at Casino Niagara or Fallview are $1/$2 but I think that's still pretty high.
