I finally managed to win!
I got a chance to play on Monday night and I was able to finish on a positive note this time. This was my favorite session so far. I started out the night with $7.42 and ended up with $9.28 (Woohoo!). I decided to go back to my original starting hand chart, which I used during my 4th session. I have tried several different starting hand charts, during the session between the 4th session and this last one, each of them tighter than the last.
I felt relaxed the entire session and I think I played pretty well overall. I managed to get up to almost $8.00 early on but then made some bad calls and was back down where I started out. I did not panic, like I have done before, and I just let it go. I can't worry about the winnings I used to have if they are not there.
I was dealt KQo four times during this session and won with it three times. I played it the same way each time, raising before the flop. The first time a pair of 4s hit the board and I stayed in until I saw the turn then folded. The second time only two people called after I raised, the BB and UTG. I did not hit anything on the flop (2d, 4h,6s), but apparently neither did the other two. They checked and I bet, then the BB drop out. The turn (Tc) came and I still had nothing. UTG checked again and I decided to see if I could bluff him out, so I bet and he folded.
The third time I was dealt KQo started me on a 3 hand winning streak. Three people called my raised that time and I ended up getting a K on the flop. Everyone in front of me checked and so did I. The turn was an 8 and everyone checked around to me again, so I get and only one person called. The river was a J and my opponent checked, I bet and they folded. On the very next hand I got KQo again. Two people called my raise and I got K88 on the flop, they checked, I bet, they folded. The next hand I was dealt 9T of clubs and I called. Three others stayed in. The flop was Jh, 7h, & 8c, giving me a straight. I continued to play agressively and I ended up winning $1.55 from the the pot.
Soon after that I decided to call it a night. I hope the next session goes as well as this last one did.
