break even nite + holdem manager

i actually managed to get a session in last nite that i wasn't supposed to but it ended up not being very productive.

i've been awaiting pokertracker 3 but it seems to be rather flawed and i don't want to deal with the hassle of software bugs. i heard about holdem manager and how sick it was so i dropped the $80 on it and picked it up. so far im pretty impressed with it and the shear volume of info is pretty overwhelming. so instead of playing i ended up tinkering with the hud for a couple hours before firing up 4 tables of 200nl. i was pretty happy with my play but managed to only break even through 750 hands after a few tough hands/beats. pokerhand is down but it was basically AK vs KQ on a KQxx board after i 3-b in position and villain called willing to stack off since i was abusing him, 54 on a 552Tddd board after villain that had abusing me (stacked off w/ A8s once in a bvb 5-b bluff) with villain check/calling all-in on the turn w/ 77 (no diamond) and binking his two outer on the river and lastly KK vs QT on a Q22TQ board after villain c/c pot sized bets on every street and jammed the river offering me 4.5-1 on a call.

i did however hop on two 1/2 cap plo tables ($80 cap) while on lunch today and made about $220 in 20 mins. i got it in with AAxx on a Kxx flop against top set and hit runner runner quads. i think i'll play more cap games when experimenting with plo since the shallowness of the game allows for less mistakes and it's a little more exciting of a game.

might play tonite and tomorrw. who knows.
