I had a small session of 820ish hands an I managed to pull out 5$ and I am up 115$. this session I had a great run. This time my opponents had decent hands but I showed up with bigger hands. Reminded me how poker does even out. Yesterday it was my turn to lose and today it is my turn to win.
When I was multi-tabling when I was at my high back in mid 2010 I played two hands that I won and will not forget so fast. The first one is my biggest, which was 100$ at the .1/.25$. I had bought in for 25$ and doubled up to 50$. Then I got 22. I raised in early position. The only stack that I wanted to avoid had 50$ in front of him too. He re-raised and I knew he had a big hand and I could possibly win a huge pot. So I called. I can not remember the cards that came on the flop and turn. I remember flopping my set. I check called and check called the flop and turn, slowplaying the hand. The river was a K. I put my opponent on KK or AA, so it was not my favorite card to see, but I decided to ship and possibly represent something like AK. He instant called and showed AA. The 100$ pot came over to me. It was a nice feeling and reminded me already at those stakes, you can become a "pro" and earn a living if you 12-15 table and play 2,000-3,000 hands a day given that you are a winning player. I was not.
Another hand I can not forget was also at the .1/.25$. I had AK in early position and raised it. I only got one caller. The flop was low cards and I missed but I lead out. I got raised. Then I saw the flush draw that was on the flop and thought that he might be raising with a draw. I saw him play some draws in position like that. I was sitting at the table since Jesus resurrection. I decided that he had a draw and I reraised him. Then he shoved, but I did not wanted to fold my AK and called the all in. Now we had created a 50$ pot and in most cases I would have been drawing dead. I am sure of that, but I was in there with my A high. When the cards got shown he did have a flush draw. Qc10c. Now I had to dodge a half million outs, but he had to catch them. He missed the turn and river and the 50$ pot got shoved my way with A high. Probably this is my sickest play ever and I am proud of that I had the guts to go after what I knew. After the hand the guy called me a donk and I asked him "What do you expect me to? I have the best hand." I never got a reply.
