A hand that makes the world to go round
That is the brief report from battlefield. Thanks to this outstanding victory our troops have managed to defend the position we have earned earlier. The superior forces of enemy were trying to move me to finish my poker career. But that brilliant move made them run away.
We are the champions, my friend,
Cause we’ll keep on fighting to the end.
I was playing 3 $0.25 - $0.5 tables that night. It was second or third time I’ve decided to play 3 tables. And it seems to me that was a little bit hard for me. I haven’t felt it that time but after the session I can make such a conclusion. I think playing 3 tables I couldn’t pay the necessary attention to every player at my tables and as a result I decreased the quality of my poker. Anyway I’ve lost about $20 in less than an hour. That was a heavy strike on my account as I had less than $80 for the moment I started the session. By the way $20 is 40BB for $0.25 - $0.5 limit. I consider such a loss too big…
I was disappointed a little but still considered that everything could happen. I believe to the probability theory and to the Big Numbers Law. I know that if I play right according to the Fundamental Theorem of Poker I will be able to win. I have to pay attention to the quality of my poker not to the results.
So I decided to leave one table and that decision has improved my poker at the other tables. I’ve won a little. My loss decreased to $17. And after that I’ve played this hand. During that time I’ve sat out of the second table and haven’t returned to it. I needed to pay a lot of attention to this hand.

For the moment it’s my highest output from one hand. I’ve won almost $20 in less then a minute. Could anyone comment on me if I were right playing this hand?
