sick game, sick game

Two hand histories at the bottom of the post. Twice this evening and four times recently run into an overset :@ however the session was actually a very good one. I have improved my post - flop strategy... in particular for 3-bet pots. I was helped by the exceptional section in the e-book "small stakes no limit hold em" on the 3/4/5 bet game. I shan't give anything away since that book is basically money in the pocket in terms of advice for beating the games. I stress again it's very very good... and you'll need it soon because even current winning strategies are going to become losers quite quickly versus opponents clued in to this advice. The review for that book will be posted. Probably next month though since I'd like to memorise every paragraph, lol.
Right, down to the details I finished with bankroll at a nice proud 400 bucks. I should clear $10 bonus by the end of the weekend when the bonus deal expires. As for my play, I made $5 from money won without showdown - my increased aggression paying dividends. Now for the hands. First underset of the day. Pretty standard. Second is another underset but I don't lose the pot... Gotta love it when you hit your only card to the better hand!
