Friday Blog - Part 2
Summary of Big Hands:
I only played Friday but Friday's sessions kicked off with Pot-Limit Holdem and almost all of the big action took place at the same table (The Razon table).
The first big hand came about half an hour into my session and it was a big cooler for the guy it was against. I bet every step of the way to a 3.28$ pot where my set of fives were big favorites on the flop and were out turned with his pair of aces turning into a set. Finally I out rivered him and hit the case five taking down 3.28$ and the big pot.
The only other big hand (Above 2.50$) of the night for me was the biggest PLHE hand of the night easily that I saw and that I have won yet. Here it is for your viewing pleasure.

We then moved to Pot Limit Omaha which was fun times. Just as many big
hands (3.00$ for Pot Limit Omaha) and they both came late.
The first hand saw my set go down to a rivered flush and lost a hefty 5.41$. I'd rather show the 5.11$ pot that I won on this beauty of a hand which also turned out to be one of the last of my session.

Friday Blog Q & A
Q: Isn't .01/.02 PLO and .01/.02 NLHE out of your bankroll range?
A: Yes but everyone starts somewhere and I am starting here. It's not like everyone just wins or deposits 100$ into their account. Some do it the old fashioned way and start with less then they need and still work their way up. That's why I plan to emulate.
Q: Why did you quit your last challenge and start a harder one?
A: The last site i was playing on couldn't be accessed by computers in my area for some reason (I still haven't been able to access it). I felt wiser and more prepared so I made the challenge a bit different. I don't believe it is too much harder though.
Q: How did you rake up so many FT points in so little time?
A: All FT points came from me playing during happy hours. I tend to be online during peak hours so I get double the points. Also there was a promotion right when i started that I got double points for playing multiple tables which quadrupled my points.
