Bankroll Challenge Day #6

Took Monday and most of Tuesday off from playing. Decided to put in a little time for the bankroll challenge. Play for about an hour 1c-2c with a $4 buy-in and for the first time had to leave the table because the amount I had on it was more than 10% of my total bankroll. Made over $10 tonight and considering that is 500bbs, its pretty good.
Had two interesting hands that my opponents total misplayed and illustrates the weak play of these micro-limit games.

  1. I had 99 in second pos after an UTG limp. I raised it to 14cents and everyone folded except the initial limper. The flop came down Jd10dJc and the limper checked (he had about $7), I didn't have a diamond but thought I could bet and get a lot of weak ace-x hands to fold and small pairs. I bet 18cents, a small information bet, he called, the turn was a 5s and he checked. I thought about a diamond draw, 10-x or even KQ so I checked hoping to save some money on the river but maybe pay off a bluff. The river was the 9d. so beautiful. He checked to me and I decided to overbet, I bet $1.34 into a $.67 pot. He quickly raised enough to put me allin, around $2 more. I knew that was a safe card, the daimonds hit, the KQ hit a straight, i just cant beat a J10, J9 and I didn't think any body would play a flopped full house like this. I called and he showed KJo. He played it so weak and then expected me to bet the river. Interesting nonetheless and ofcourse I hit a 2 outer but I wasn't put much more in, especially on a river like that where a draw had hit, if I hadn't of hit it ofcourse. Add $4 to the stack right there.
  2. This hand I have K9s in the sb and there are 3 limpers, I call and the BB checks, the flop comes 3s5h7s. I have the second nut flush draw but decide to check and wait to hit something. It checks around and the turn is As, I now have the nuts. I check to induce some action (3 late pos limpers all have $2 or less, sb has $3). It checks around again, there is 10cents in the pot. The river is the 6c, now there is a four straight on the board, a 4 will make a straight but I still have the nuts. Now that this straight has hit the board I bet 31cents into a 10cent pot (check my notes on overbetting these micro games, no one cares about 'change', they are too curious). BB folds, 1st limper folds, 2nd limper calls with 50cents back. 3rd limper raises minimum to 62cents, I wait and raise to over $3. The 2nd limper calls himself all-in as does the 3rdd limper, a decent, $7 pot and I have the nuts. The 2nd limper shows J4h for a straight the 3rd limper shows 89o for the nuts straight. I take a good sized pot.

Good day overall for the challenge!

END OF DAY #6: $117.64
