Another good day, up $8.40 on the cash front and won another $9.70 playing a $6.50 9-man Turbo. It was actually nice to finish ITM in a SNG for the first time in a long while. Everything's clicking right now and I'm at my all-time high bankroll. If I'm lucky, I might even hit $500 before the end of the week.
Here's a hand from yesterday that I was particularly happy with. I typically play a hand very aggressively, betting on all streets. But this time, I found someone who was willing to spew with nothing so I thought calling was the best line.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

3 folds, Hero bets $0.30, 1 fold, BB raises to $0.70, Hero calls $0.40
Flop: ($1.45) 5 , K , 2 (2 players)

Results:
Hero had 9 , A (flush, Ace high).
BB had 4 , 7 (one pair, fours).
Outcome: Hero won $16.70
I thought I had pretty good implied odds to call his 2/3 pot bet. I needed to call .90 into 2.35. That's about 2.5 to 1, but I think if I hit the flush, he'll try to rep it. Once I did hit the flush, the call was the obvious choice in this case. I tried a timing tell on the turn, taking a long time to think before I called his $1.90 bet.
No need to think about the river. That was a snap call. Only hand that beats me is very unlikely straight flush.
