I went back to the casino yesterday and continued my winning run. I was folding a lot and played patiently, since I wasn't being dealt the greatest hands, but managed to stay in the profit around $125-150 for the majority of the session.
The first hand I won I was dealt 9-9 and the initial raiser raised $12 and there were multiple callers. The flop was 4-7-4 and I was in middle position and raised $20 and somebody in early position who had initially checked has re-raised me to $40, so I called. Before he had checked initially after the flop he acted like he was going to raise, so he seemed like a bluffer who actually seemed like he was on tilt, since he lost $600 the time I was there. Anyways he called a bet I made on the turn, which he called and we both checked the river, with 2 higher cards and a potential flush on the board I was last to act and was happy with the $100+ I was about to win. He mucked his cards, so don't know what he had as my pocket 9's held up.
It was a while before I won another big hand where I was dealt 4-4. The initial raiser raised $15 and the flop was 3-5-6, so I was open ended on the flop which he initially made a small bet of $20, which I called. The turn card was a 7, which gave me a straight, so I checked it to him with the feeling he was going to bet big, which he did. He went all in for $140+/-, when I hit the straight! He mucked his cards and I won another big pot.
After this hand I managed to lose a large pot where I had good cards, but someone had shoved all in with over $250 and I lost $100+/- on that particular hand, which was my biggest loss of the day. I also lost another hand, but it wasn't as much. After those big loses I was only up $50-60 in profit.
After those 2 losses I managed to flop a flush with K
Q
I initially raised $10+ preflop and got a few callers. I checked on the flop and bet strong when the Ace came out hoping that someone had hit the ace. Luckily it looked like someone did, which helped me bring in an extra $40 on that hand.
There were a few instances I bluffed and I was playing really tight, so most of my bluffs worked as I had respect from the guys that were paying attention. After a few donkeys and players on tilt were knocked out and left the table got kind of tight. The maximum I was up was over $275+/- and I managed to walk away up $230 after tips and all.
Overall I would give myself a B for this session as I made the most of what I played with. I wasn't super aggressive, but felt like I was aggressive in the right instances. There were only a couple hands I took a beating, but I read my opponents correctly and I made it 6 straight winning sessions with 0 Re-buys and 0 Add-ons. This session was a little longer than usual, since I'm not sure if I'll be playing next week due to my schedule.

There was an instance where I was dealt 3-3 and called $10 to see the turn. I folded when the intial raiser raised $20 going into the river, which I would have hit my 2 outer! There was another instance I folded and would have hit in a similar situation. Either way I made the right decision, but felt like I could have called the $20 bet b/c of pot odds and would have made another $100 that particular hand as the initial raiser wouldn't have thought the 3 helped anyone as he pushed a lot of chips on the river. I was in early position so that was part of my reasoning to fold with another individual left to act behind me.
I'm continuing to take advantage of my position and continue to play smart as I try my best to continue winning on a consistent basis.
