Week Three of James “HullJimi” Greenwood’s<\/em> PartyPoker Bankroll Challenge, and he’s up to a respectable figure already. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Week 3 starting roll: $45.47<\/p>\n

Hands played (this week): 913<\/p>\n

Current bankroll: $69.34<\/font><\/p>\n

Overall profit: $44.34<\/font><\/p>\n

So, another week at micro limits \u2013 and I\u2019m getting my head round it now, I think!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been dealt A-A 6 times this week and it\u2019s held 66.6% of the time \u2013 holding against K-K and Q-Q for a massive $6 pot! I think to be fair to Nick (\u201cThe Cloud\u201d, the previous challenger), he was losing these races, and when you\u2019re not fully rolled, you really do need to see A-A holding.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to do something slightly different this week and post a hand history. I can\u2019t decide whether I played this like a genius or an idiot, so I\u2019m going to comment on the hand history and then I\u2019d like you to as well:<\/p>\n

Seat 9 is the button<\/p>\n

Total number of players : 5
\nSeat 3: cornholio80 ( $5.96 USD )
\nSeat 5: alkanavt20 ( $1.56 USD )
\nSeat 10: doug580 ( $6.36 USD )
\nSeat 4: lllwhitelll ( $2.87 USD )
\nSeat 9: HullJimi ( $7.27 USD )<\/p>\n

Hooray for me!<\/em><\/p>\n

doug580 posts small blind [$0.02 USD].
\ncornholio80 posts big blind [$0.04 USD].<\/p>\n

** Dealing down cards **<\/p>\n

Dealt to HullJimi [ Qc Js ]
\nlllwhitelll folds
\nalkanavt20 calls [$0.04 USD]
\nHullJimi raises [$0.16 USD]<\/p>\n

I\u2019m on the button, and whilst this is a loose raise, the table is short handed.<\/em><\/p>\n

doug580 folds
\ncornholio80 calls [$0.12 USD]
\nalkanavt20 folds<\/p>\n

** Dealing Flop ** [ Ac, 6d, Ks ]<\/p>\n

cornholio80 checks
\nHullJimi bets [$0.24 USD]
\ncornholio80 calls [$0.24 USD]<\/p>\n

Wondered if the Ace might scare him off \u2013 is mine a stupid bet or not?<\/em><\/p>\n

For what it\u2019s worth, it was a quick call but I have a draw (although it\u2019s not a great one).<\/em><\/p>\n

** Dealing Turn ** [ Td ]<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve hit. What could he have here? With no read on the villain, what do you put him on?<\/p>\n

cornholio80 bets [$0.50 USD]
\nHullJimi raises [$1.76 USD]
\ncornholio80 raises [$2.74 USD]
\nHullJimi calls [$1.48 USD]<\/p>\n

It\u2019s surely all going to go in on the river, has he got A-K?<\/em><\/p>\n

** Dealing River ** [ 2c ]<\/p>\n

cornholio80 is all-In [$2.32 USD]
\nHullJimi calls [$2.32 USD]
\ncornholio80 shows [ 6s, Ad ]two pairs, Aces and Sixes.
\nHullJimi shows [ Qc, Js ]a straight Ten to Ace.<\/p>\n

HullJimi wins $11.39 USD from the main pot with a straight, Ten to Ace.<\/p>\n

So I stacked him, but I\u2019m not sure about my raise before the flop and on the flop. Have I just played like the players I\u2019ve been moaning about in previous posts?<\/p>\n

One last thing, congratulations to my \u201conline\u201d mate Kenn121 who took down a massive score ($44K) by winning the PartyPoker $300K Guaranteed Sunday (blogged in the last few days on here). Well played, mate!<\/p>\n

* The PartyPoker Bankroll Challenge involves starting with $25 and making it grow as far as possible – but by using solid bankroll management. Basically, that means not risking more than 5% of your roll at any time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
