(1) Internet connection was stable for the first time in a week.
(2) Bought a beautiful 28" LCD monitor, which can handle 12 tables at a time. You don't understand just how large a 28" monitor is until you put it beside a 22". I made some adjustments to my HuD (increased font sizes mainly, as well as adding a couple new stats) and I am very excited about my ability to work up to 18 tabling by the end of the month.
(3) Bought a very nice leather office chair which is the right height for my desk (old chair was not) and is a huge comfort upgrade. Very happy with the purchase.
(4) Bought a new wrist rest for my keyboard. The old one was probably 10-12 years old and held together mostly by hockey tape. It served me well, but it was time for it to be put down.
(5) Played a short session which turned into a +6.5 BI heater. Won what I think is my largest pot ever (~350 BB, still not that big, I know). More detail on this below.
As I mentioned in (5), my short session which was designed as a test run for the new monitor turned out to be very profitable. I ran very well in terms of equity, and flopped the nuts 175BB deep versus a donkey. Here is my EV graph for the session:
Here is the hand history for what is probably the biggest pot I've won so far online (pretty sure I've scooped a ~$400-$500 pot live). I don't have the stats of the villain offhand, but he was definitely something like a 40/10 drooler over 50ish hands.
Poker Stars, $0.50/$1 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 9 Players
UTG+1: $100 (100 bb)
MP1: $97.50 (97.5 bb)
MP2: $128.55 (128.6 bb)
Hero (MP3): $197.45 (197.5 bb)
CO: $173.35 (173.4 bb)
BTN: $128.40 (128.4 bb)
SB: $118.40 (118.4 bb)
BB: $86.50 (86.5 bb)
UTG: $100 (100 bb)
Pre-Flop: Hero is MP3 with Qs Js
4 folds, Hero raises to $4, CO calls $4, 3 folds
QJs is a standard raise from the HJ for me. Note the stack size on the donkey who calls.
Flop: ($9.50) Kd 9c Ts (2 players)
Hero bets $7, CO raises to $29, Hero raises to $51, CO raises to $169.35 and is all-in, Hero calls $118.35
This is the ultimate gin flop for my hand. No flush potential to scare people away (or give them significant equity). When I bet out I was praying the donkey had a king, since I was pretty sure he'd have difficulty folding. After he raised I wasn't quite sure what to do, but I figured that since the turn could bring scare cards which could slow the action, I'd minraise to try to induce a shove. I minraise, he shoves, and I get 175BBs in with the nuts as a 82% favorite.
Turn: ($348.20) 7d (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: ($348.20) 4s (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Turn and river both blank, and I scoop.
Results: $348.20 pot ($3 rake)
Hero showed Qs Js (a straight, Nine to King) and won $345.20 ($171.85 net)
CO mucked 9d Ks (two pairs, Kings and Nines) and lost (-$173.35 net)
Good stuff!
