Breaking the 100 Big Bet Barrier

I won $4001 last night playing 20/40 at Oceans-11. Previous to last night, my biggest win in terms of big bets was 98.33 big bets in the 30/60 game at Canterbury Park in 12 hours of play. Last night I won 100 big bets in 4 hours! I was smoking hot, and even the hands I was tossing preflop were turning into gold. I shouldn't have mucked anything! It was an awesome game, because the entire table agreed to live straddle, so every pot was a 3 or 4 bet frenzy with 4 or 5 players usually seeing a flop. I made some monster hands, and some just good mediocre hands, but I played them well and got max value on most of them. I got in what must have been at least half a dozen river check-raises as well, most of them with 2 or 3 other players in the pot too. I only wish that I didn't have to travel today on business, otherwise you would have had to drag me away from that table kicking and screaming!

Last month of the quarter, and things are shaping up well. I am up 8879 in the last two months, with a low point of -5930 and a high point of 10770. I had one really, really bad night where I dropped 8 dimes. Take out that 8 dime loss, and I would be having a really awesome quarter as opposed to just a good quarter.

So with only 1 month to go in the quarter and in the year, let's hope that I can make an awesome run to the end, and get my last half of the year up to the $40/hr mark. I need to win about 14000 in 100 hours to do it. That's a 140/hr, so it's going to be pretty tough, but I will try my best. I'll probably fall short, but I'd like to make at least 20k for the year, and I only need 8000 more to reach that goal. That's a lot more realistic and doable. In any case, I really shouldn't be results oriented, just make good solid poker decisions and the money should come in.
