Another tough week.  The week started off really poorly... I recovered and then started getting coolered at 5/10+.  Always sucks when you run bad at higher stakes.  I actually made over 10 BIs (16 in EV), even tho I was basically flat.  Oh well.  At least I didn't lose money... and I hit my volume target for the week.

HANDS

One of the regs, Loco, jokingly (?) said he couldn't believe I won at 2ptbb when my cbet was less than 50%.  Sometimes, the best way to win money is to not cbet.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $6.00 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (MP1) ($669)
MP2 ($679)
MP3 ($1022)
CO ($600)
Button ($861.50)
SB ($751)
BB ($735)
UTG ($640.45)
UTG+1 ($248.75)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 9, 10
2 folds, Hero bets $18, 3 folds, Button calls $18, 1 fold, BB calls $12

Flop: ($57) J, J, 9 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks,
[Ya.  I can bet this because I have the best hand most of the time and it would suck if overcards came, but it's hard to imagine a worse hand calling in a 3 way pot, and I can get blown off my hand should a worse hand decide to (semi) bluff.]
Button bets $30, 1 fold, Hero calls $30
[Wow.  Imagine that!  In today's games, someone betting when checked to.]

Turn: ($117) J (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $48, Hero calls $48
[Good card for me.  Well, I guess if he has the case J, he's going to get most of my monies.  Jacks]

River: ($213) K (2 players)
Hero checks, Button checks
[Would've called, but whatever.]

Total pot: $213 | Rake: $3
Main pot: $213 between Hero and Button, won by Hero

Results:
Button had 4, 4 (full house, Jacks over fours).
Hero had 9, 10 (full house, Jacks over nines).
Outcome: Hero won $210

Well, that's $78 I made over just betting.  In case you're keeping score. that's: Not Betting 1, Betting 0.
