Tuesday 900 hand heater

I played for just over an hour Tuesday night, clocking in 900 hands at an exceptional $165 profit (18ptBB/100 winrate). I definitely ran good, but it was a different kind of heater than normal. While I did win some big pots, I didn't flop a set all night. I did however flop two nut flushes, and was paid off on both. What really made the session special however, was that I didn't commit a significant amount of money into just about any pot I lost. Reviewing the hands that went to showdown, the most I lost in a single hand was -$3.50. For comparison, I won more than a net of +$3.50 in 14 pots. I did probably commit $5-$10 into a couple pots where I didn't make it to showdown due to folding when an opponent's line looked strong, or I missed my outs. I won't post my All-In Luck Graph, but I ran $10 above expectation there. As you'll see in my showdown EV graph below, I was about $55 above Sklansky expectation. It's also worth noting I didn't have a single "cooler-hand" or suckout against (or for) all night - it seems it was a night where a fair amount of things go right, but is truly special because nothing goes significantly wrong.

I also purchased the first book in the "Harrington on Cash Games" series today using 2,500 of my FPPs. It should be arriving in 3-6 weeks, and I'm looking forward to reading it. I will order the second one if I find the first to be helpful.

April sure has been fun, over my first 12,000 hands at $50NL I'm running at 6ptBB/100 and am up $720, not counting my FPPs and success in the WSOP Qualifier Sit & Go Steps (turned 8 Step 1 entries that cost me 4,000 FPPs, or around $46, into a Step 4 ticket worth $215).

Current BR Status: $2355, 11,500 FPPs (~$130), and 1 WSOP Qualifier Sit & Go Step 4 Tourney Ticket ($215 if bought into directly).
