Back into it

January felt like a holiday and while I don't expect it to last, I will do everything I can to be a profitable player at least.

My first crack at Feb was actually still Jan according to Pokerstars. So I used that fact to tie up my Silverstar level, with some HU SNG's. It went pretty badly, down $70 without too much effort. Mix of running bad, and trying a couple of high variance semi-bluffs. One funny situation saw me run into a HU cash player I crushed for 3 BI's the other night. He instantly started chatting about how tilted he was that night etc, so funny.

OnGame was a normal night session, and started about as horrible as ever. The flop saw me betting as big favourite most of the time, but turn and river, people just hit. People just flopped flush draws against me all the time, and were hitting a lot. On top of that I'd have better pairs or kickers and people would hit their 2 or 3 outer, and of course I'd stack off. I took a break almost putting OnGame aside, but something kept me coming back, and I got some of my losses back, even though I still got coolered and sucked out on again a couple of times. I'm mostly very happy with my play, although there is still too many call downs that just don't make sense against any hand but bluffs. Even one winner would have been the same, only I knew the guy was a maniac, and that JJ overpair was good.

All in all, a pretty bad day for results, but very encouraged by how I played big hands. I also cleared my $250 bonus on OnGame, so my accounts did go up today at least. I now have to see how to get my next bonus at OnGame, which isn't overly clear just yet. I will probably end up going over to Hey Poker, as I've heard they have ongoing reloads and a points shop too. Certainly no reason to leave OnGame any time soon.
