Week 8

 

Feels great to be able to post a winning weekend. I made a few adjustments to my HUD and to my play, hopefully these are going to continue to pay off in future. I lost the first 2 sessions of the weekend before breaking the 9 session losing streak with an excellent session to finish. I doubt I was playing badly enough to be a loser at these stakes for all but 1 of those 9 sessions, so it was a pretty gross run. I can be very grateful my comeback didn’t start with a run like that…

I’m looking forward to taking advantage of the reload bonus on the weekend, the games usually improve considerably when there’s a reload bonus so fingers crossed all the recs aren’t off playing spin and gos!

Villain was reg who I hadn’t seen before. I felt like there was enough of a chance that he was either bluffing or betting with a flush draw here that a shove was best.
