When you play well and you get lucky, well you can ask for more than that. I played some FR tonight and was dominating the table. Winning pot after pot against a bunch of loose weak players. They'd call and then fold to my flop bets. Wasn't winning much, but practically every time I was in a hand, I would win it with a flop bet.
I decided to leave the table to switch to 6-max for more action. I wasn't thinking I would win too much at this table. My last hand was this one.

So that last hand was a good one! With mid-range PPs, I like to raise to give me a chance to win without seeing a flop, or if I do get called, I can win if I have the overpair or if I hit the set. In this case, I led out for my standard .15 and had the one caller. I c-bet the flop since I have the overpair. His re-raise was a bit of a surprise and I instantly thought he also had an overpair. I called quickly though. It was possible he had A-7 or even a set of his own. I just put him on an overpair based on his previous plays. Just a strong feeling.
When the turn came, I knew there was no need to slow play. I pushed and I expected to get called. Once he did, I just had to fade the J on the river and his cash was mine. I've overcome my 3 buy-in loss from Thursday and Friday and I've broken through the $50 mark. In fact, I'm at nearly 4000 hands in 5nl (mostly 6-max) and I've beaten my total profit from 2nl in about 2500 less hands. Look out 10nl! I'm coming for you soon!
