Nice. With plenty of time to spare too. ♠_cool:

Today I play a record pot hand.

PartyGaming - $0.04 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

UTG: $3.47
MP: $4.00
CO: $8.67
BTN: $1.18
Hero (SB): $13.53
BB: $1.86

Hero posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.04

Pre Flop: ($0.06) Hero has T♠ J♠

fold, MP raises to $0.12, CO calls $0.12, BTN calls $0.12, Hero calls $0.10, fold

Flop: ($0.52, 4 players) 5♠ 4♥ Q♠
Hero checks, MP checks, CO checks, BTN bets $0.20, Hero calls $0.20, MP calls $0.20, CO calls $0.20

Turn: ($1.32, 4 players) A♥
Hero checks, MP checks, CO checks, BTN bets $0.86 and is all-in, Hero calls $0.86, fold, CO calls $0.86

River: ($3.90, 3 players) 8♠
Hero bets $12.35 and is all-in, CO calls $7.49 and is all-in

The entire hand is played in terms of implied odds against CO. CO is a loose-passive player who plays basically any-two.
Previous reads:
1) calls with J :spade:5 on 9 :diamond:3 :club:5 :heart:8 :club:T all three streets (river bet was $1.71 in that hand, total pot around $6)
+ other similar hands where CO either pays out or hits against a better hand.

Hey,

I have been away from the computer for the last week. Have been moving to a new apartment, did not have solid internet nor a table to grind at, so had to skip poker altogether.

But... when I came today, I noticed that the missions' raffles were already done and I got lucky, yey! Namely, 1) I won the "Forum" challenge and $50 to my TaF account; 2) as being on of the most active, I also won the status upgrade (thank you for the extra consideration to the event organizers!).

I would like to use this reply post to congratulate all the other winners and say "big thank you" the even organizers, for making this motivating package possible for those who needed that extra push the most.

I will start grinding next week. Hopefully, soon I am moving up a limit.
