I'd like to forget some of last weekend's single draw sessions, but I had a very good time of it on Thursday and Friday, particularly Friday when I made $74 in 242 hands, including a dollar-a-hand last fifty, taking my bankroll into the low 900s. I was lucky enough to be dealt the second nuts and take down a big pot when my opponent drew one to make an 8-6 with no reasonable way of getting away from his hand. Here are a few hands from the last week and a bit:
Hand 1
Oh dear. I never thought I'd fold a 9-7 to a three-bet before the draw. I've been on this table a while, and on a few occasions Tightwkfish has just called pre-draw raises with pat tens - I hadn't seen him reraise anything. So when he raises to nine bucks, I figure he's got a monster and I'm behind most of his range, so I go with my gut instinct and fold. What I didn't take into account though was the amount of dick-waving chat between him and Zachie in the previous 15 minutes - "don't you know who I am?" - resulting in them trying to "own" each other here. I'm still trying to understand the mentality of some online poker players.

Hand 2
I'd been card-dead in this session. Just about every hand seemed to be 60% paint. This one was no exception. I'm not sure this is the best hand to three-bet snow with, but here I'm simply making use of my super-tight image.

Hand 4
In position I think my four-bet is the right play here, but when he shoves I've got no real choice but to fold. For this game, at these stakes, we're pretty deep. The scary thing for me about this hand was that for a fleeting split-second I thought about drawing to the 8-5. I'm not getting anywhere near the right odds for that, and he might even have a seven.

Hand 5
I've seen quite a few players just call raises pre-draw in position and pat behind. It's worth bluffing these players when you miss just to see what they do. Unfortunately a lot of them call with their jacks and tens.

Hand 6
I think if you're going to bet at all after the draw, you should make it at least 60% of the pot. I normally bet around two-thirds. If you bet too small, you risk giving away the strength of your hand and getting bluffed off it. Susan said she had KK432.

Hand 8
I'll raise the occasional two-card draw here. I'm not sure if that's clever play (it's perhaps better on the button because you'll have position after the draw). However I don't think Chopertony's play is good at all. If he'd reraised his pat nine I would have folded before the draw. Post-draw (which shouldn't have even happened), he should have just called my $2.50 bet.
