Another frustrating set ends in profit..

Didn't play at all yesterday because I was just not in the mood, so I got up today and started grinding pretty much right away. Like always though, the seemingly endless string of beats started getting into my head, and I stopped registering for new games after about 2 hours. All in all I got 28 games in, which is decent for just a couple hours. Cashed in 2 out of the 28, a 1st and a 9th, for $52.52 profit and 85.3% ROI.

Pretty good for a couple hours. Would've been better if I didn't have to waste my time playing my last table just for it to end with a 9th, but whatever, I can't complain.

Overall graph for the $2/180s:

Still a very nice looking graph, but that could easily change. Just gotta try to ride the upswing while it lasts.

And here is the most frustrating hand of the day:

Schublade1 wins t561

I've got the top of my range, so I raise instead of shove to get some more value. I get Glamstyle to iso-shove, Grafit001 reshoves, and Schublade1 calls. This is like a dream come true for me here. I figure 2 of them probably have an ace in their hand, so it's unlikely one of them will hit, and the other is probably on a lower PP or something, which I obviously dominate. When it gets back around to me and I call, I'm even happier with what I see. I'm about 77% to scoop a very nice 25 BB pot. But what do you know it, there's the case ace on the flop. Quite possibly one of the most frustrating hands I've ever played, but what can you do, it happens.

Gonna take a break for a little, maybe take a nap or something, and then hopefully come back and put in 30+ more games later tonight.
