August 23rd: 4 hours 41 minutes for +$18,106. A week in Indonesia to celebrate

in #travel7 years ago

Today was my best session since I started blogging on steemit. It also took me to fresh peaks, prior to starting my blog I had been recovering from a roughly $70,000 downswing over 2 days which I am pleased to say I have now made back and with a cherry on top!

As you can see above, today again started with a quick spike to the downside, a few hands going against me at 25/50 straight off the bat saw to that.. Here was the biggest- I raised preflop, bet flop and turn and called my opponent's river bet.

Fortunately the rough start flipped around quickly and not long after I had my biggest winning hand of the day. After the button raised and the small blind reraised I decided to pray no one had AA and 4 bet my KK. This bloated the pot to $3,150 before the flop after the small blind called.

The flop could not have been much better, bringing him an 8 high flush draw which was dominated by my king high. He shoved all in and i called without a second thought. Despite what can only be considered an awful run out, my pair of kings were best at showdown and delivered me the $8,967 pot.

After the session I had a fun surf and decided the time was ripe for a break, so I booked a flight, and am leaving for a week of surf in Indonesia tomorrow.

Until next time,
