Running It Twice does not seem to be helping me!

Hola amigos. I played a couple sessions today that were swingy but ended up well. In the morning session there were no good 6 max games running. So I decided to try and play some HU. I couldn't really find any action and ended up winning like $200 in a couple hundred hands max.

I played a 2nd session tonight where I played a mix of 5/10 and 10/20, including an extremely tough 5 handed 10/20 game which included the likes of Flipokeher, DerekJC9954, Gogogogogogogo, and Pr1nnyraid. I actually did alright in the 10/20 games despite losing a little over 2 buy-ins very quickly. I ended up the day up $470, which is better than the -$4.5k I was at 15 mins into my 10/20 session but worse than the $5600 I should have been up today.

There were a lot of big pots tonight, so I will go ahead and post those and try to find 1 or 2 other interesting hands.

Here I won the biggest pot of my life against a fish. Nothing like winning your biggest pot ever without having to sweat. :)

However I also lost the 2nd biggest pot of my career tonight, and that wasn't very fun at all. Seems like whenever I run it twice in huge pots, im always the favorite, and I never scoop the pot. I either chop it or lose them both. :(

Last huge hand of the day may have been my favorite one of the evening. The villain in this hand is a huge nit ime, so getting him to bluff of this many BB's into my nut straight was an unbelievable feeling.

Not much to really talk about here, just figured he was shoving a lot of trash so I call with the nut no pair.

Ok so this hand is against the same nit that jammed 88 into my nut straight(67) for that huge pot. Unfortunately (or fortunately for me) this hand happened before the huge bluff he tried to pull off. At the time this hand went down I thought this was the easiest bet/snap fold ever on the river. And I still think its a fold but if I had seen the 88 hand before this I may have gotten a little bit too curious for my own good.

Looking back at my last 2 monthsish FTP has a pretty solid doomswitch on me, so please to be turning that off. Until next time, gl at the tables everyone.
