Day 4: Well I played a mini session early on, so I may add another session later in the day just to get more hands in. I wanted to stay at this table longer and roll up a real session, but I had other things that came up that needed my attention.

I was happy with my play for the most part, and players seemed to be giving away chips at this table. I did my normal $5.00 buy-in for this level. I was getting nice hands and it was like I was able to do no wrong. Like I said I wish I was able to keep playing, this had the start of one of those sessions where at the end your 10+ Buy-in's.

Here is a hand that shows you how great this could have been, and most players were playing like this.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

BB ($13.81)
UTG ($9.93)
MP ($6.03)
CO ($2)
Button ($7.34)
Hero (SB) ($17.15)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J, J
4 folds, Hero bets $0.10, BB calls $0.05

Flop: ($0.20) 5, 5, 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $0.16, Hero calls $0.16

Turn: ($0.52) 3 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $0.42, Hero calls $0.42

River: ($1.36) K (2 players)
Hero checks, BB checks I was trying to get him to take 1 more stab at the pot. (also I wanted to see if he hit the King on the river) I really should have bet, maybe I could have got an extra $0.40 if I did.

Total pot: $1.36 | Rake: $0.05 The BB had pocket 9's, I think I would have gotten payed if anything lower then a 9 hit that river card.

Day 4: Had a good start, I may have a day 4 part 2 later. If I really want to clear the $0.02/$0.05 by the end of June I have to put in some longer sessions.
