April monthly report

April has been a bit of a break-out month for me. With 48 hours of the month to go (but no more poker), I'm happy to report a profit of $502, the majority of which has come in the last week. I'm up $739 for the year to date; my bankroll is now $1765. This has been my most profitable month since December 2010. Here are a few more hands:

Hand 1
With the flush draw, presumably patting the jack is the right play here.

Hand 2
I don't see my 98 being any good here. I decide to make two attempts at hitting my ugly draw. There were two possible bluff lines open to me: (1) patting and betting or raising the flop, and (2) drawing and then raising the flop or turn (if I hit a straight, say) to induce a break. I decided to just let it go.

Hand 3
I've tried micro cash PLO8 with no success but I cashed in a tourney today. I wasn't sure whether to call pre with this rainbow hand but I was getting good odds. I then took some time in deciding whether to see the turn with my wrap-around straight draw.

Hand 4
This was a pretty bad fold. I was in a particularly risk-averse frame of mind.

Hand 5
This hand saw my demise. I don't think I could have avoided getting all-in here. A better river and I could have been eyeing up one of the larger prizes.
