$0.50/$1.00 Cash Game Tested
It was definitely one of those grinding type days last night. Once again I was playing 6 $0.25/$0.50 cash game tables at Cake. My luck from last week seemed to disappear tonight. On more occasions than I can count, I always seemed to be one step behind. If I flopped a set, they would turn a straight. If I hit a straight they would river a flush. This is how it went for about 2 and half hours and I had busted out 3 times and was around $80 down.
After my 3rd bust out, I decided to open a $0.50/$1.00 table to play along with my other 5 lower stakes tables. I brought in $60 to the table and was feeling a little worried when the 3rd hand in, I dropped down to $35. However, right after that, the poker storm seemed to pass. All of my tables seemed to be hitting their cards and sticking. I played for another 30 minutes and I was able to win back all of my losses plus another $10.
It was a challenging night but I’m glad I was able to keep my head on and not lose it before the tide turned. I will probably end up making more from rakeback last night then my play but every penny counts.
