Steady as she goes...

So I tried cash on FT a bit more and of course, I lost. I cannot win on that site. But then I decided to try STTs there to see if they were paying out...

I started with only about $55 in my FT account so I just played the $2+$0.25 Turbos. After 25 of them, my stats looked like this...

1st - 7
2nd - 3
3rd - 2
4th - 9th - 13

ROI = 53.6%

After that I got to $100, and just finished my first batch of $6+$0.50 Turbos...

1st - 1
2nd - 1
3rd - 0
4th-9th - 2

ROI = 66.1%

So that's not too bad. I have also been playing some cash on Party. I figured that I was way too busy this last 2 weeks to achieve the bonus, but I just like playing there anyway so I carried on. The first couple of sessions were pretty poor, but then it picked up. Key hands...

- it fold to me on the button and I make it $1 with Q9s. The BB calls. The flop is 9-8-4. The BB checks, I bet $1.25 and the BB makes it $3.50 and I am feeling aggressive and make it $7.50. He calls. The turn is a 2. The BB checks, and I have no idea if I am ahead or not. Anyway, I bet $5.75. I have no idea why. The BB calls. The river is a Q. The BB checks, I put him all-in and he calls with K9. Nice river. +$25.13

- UTG limps and I make it $1.25 on the button with KK. UTG calls. The flop is K-5-3. UTG checks and I follow. The turn is an A. UTG bets $1.25, I make it $5 and he calls. The river is another A. UTG checks and I put him all-in for $8.81. He calls with 33. +$13.89

- UTG makes it 75c and I make it $2.25 in the cut-off with 10-10. UTG calls. The flop is A-K-4. UTG checks, I bet $2.50 and he calls. Hand over. But wait, the turn is a 10! He checks, I bet $6.50 and he calls. The river is a 8. He checks and I put him all-in for $14.85. He calls with AQ. +$24.45

- I raise in the cut-off to $1 with 88 and the blinds call. The flo pis Q-8-3. The SB bets $1.25, the BB calls and so do I. The turn is a 2. The SB bets $2.25, The BB folds and I make it $6. He pushes for $12.28 and I call. He shows Q6 and I laugh. +$15.22

- UTG limps, the cut-off makes it 75c and I just call on the button with AQ. The BB and UTG call. The flop is Ac-Q-Jc. It's checked to the cut-off who bets $1.25. I make it $5, the other 2 fold and the cut-off calls. The turn is a 10. We both check (mistake by me!). The river is a 4 and the cut-off pushes for $23. I fold and he shows 10c-9c. -$5.75

- 2 people limp and I raise to $1.50 in the SB with QQ. The BB and the UTG limper call. The flop is 6-6-3. I bet $3.50 and the BB calls. The turn is a 5 and I put the BB all-in for $9. He calls with K8 (?). The river is a 5. +$14.20

I also played a bit of poker at work, and had to deposit onto Pacific as you can play there without downloading the software. Well I hate it, it's a horrible site. I got stacked twice in about 5 minutes with JJ v Q10 all-in on a K-J-x flop and 44 v AK on a K-10-4 flop. Nasty. NO MORE PACIFIC!
