Good Night For Pocket Pairs

This evening I ended up working late a few hours.  When I got home, I cooked some supper and sat down in the living room to watch Treasure planet with the family.  When I finished supper I loaded up 4 tables of 4.00 NL.  I played another short session tonight of 345 hands. 

Pocket pairs were my big winners tonight.  I had big hands with JJ and 99 when the flops came low and the turn and rivers stayed low.  I had quite a few other pocket pairs that didn't make it to showdown. 

I had a few more larger losses than last night.  I also had a lot more calls after I landed 2 pair, 3 of a kinds, flushes, etc.  It feels good to be on the good side of variance for a change.  My profit for tonight in cash was 17.19.

I wasn't ready to quit playing, but I did want to log my big win for cash so I loaded up a .50 9 man sng to play while I finished up an episode of Bones.  It was touch and go through the whole game.  I lost a big hand with KK to a set of 6's to take me all but out of the game.  I got lucky with 3 callers when I went all in with Q9 and won with a pair of 9's. 

From there I remained about the same until we reached the money.  I won a big pot against the 2nd big stack and took that position.  Then I took him out a few hands later and became the big stack.  I was super aggressive against the other player.  With the blinds being so high he quickly lost chips.  He finally went all in and I called with a K5.  He had 22.  I caught my K and won 2.25.
