Great Session Turned Sour

I felt really hungover and so didn't want to play anything too strenuous. I decided that as tomorrow is Rake Back Monday on Worldpx, I would try to earn some rake.

Worldpx.com, 10c-25c. 0.5 hrs, 1 table.

I wasn't in the patient mood and I started raising almost every hand to $0.65 pre-flop. The first 3 hands I won either pre-flop or with another $0.65 bet on the flop. The 4th hands I got paid off with QJ by A4 and AK on a Q94-2-Q board. The very next hand I get AK and make my standard 65c raise. I bet one caller. The flop is K high and I bet 65c again. He moves in on me for about $6. I call and he shows K9 (tpwk). Nice start.

So after 30mins I was up to about $60 using this strategy. I then get KQo in MP and make it 65c. I get 1 caller. The flop is J-10-3 and I bet another 65c. He calls. The turn is a 9 and I bet $1.30. He raises me to $7 and I put him all-in for $16.10 more. He calls and shows 33. The river is a 6 and I win the pot. HOWEVER, the $16.10 went back to his stack and I just got the remaining money, giving me only about a $8 profit on the hand. Everyone on the table was suprised, and I am currently awaiting a reply from technical support. After that I just couldn't trust the site and logged off straight away (saving the hand history first).

Anyway I liked my new strategy alot. Usually I am very tight in cash games, and I know this is only 1 session but I will keep trying it and see how it goes.

Session balance = +$36.62 + $16.10 (if I ever get it) (298 hands to bonus)

Cash Hours = 128.50
Cash Profit = $723.03 ($5.63 p/h)

Tournament Hours = 67.5
Tournament Profit = $1467.34 ($21.74 p/h)

Total bankroll = $2240.37 (next target reached)

August 1st - $2200
September 1st - $3000
