12th April

Last nite as I came home after a poor game at a friends house and decided to make my money back online. I decided to play in cash games because I didn't want to endure hours of play in the dollar only to make a few more. For the first hour, I lost about 10$ playing 4 tables, The guy bluffed me off of top pair when there was a straight and flush draw on the board, I raised quickly but he floated me to the river where he re-raised me $5. I figured I was beat and folded the best hand when he showed me his bluff. This sent me on a minor tilt and I tried to bluff the next hand and lost another $3. I refocused and played for another 2 hours. In this two hours, I unlocked a $10 bonus which recooped my loses and then I won another $20 in that session. I know making money from bonuses doesn't say much about my skill but in micro stakes poker, bonuses are an important part to curb your loses and enhance your earnings.


Overall: Played 4 tables at 5/10c, buying in max of $10 per table. Total buy in: $40
Total profit: $20
