Variance Kicks In

Finished clearing the $200 Party bonus last night, and my account is $100 higher than where it started. This hand had a lot to do with it:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold’em, $1 BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter

CO ($167.81)
Button ($157.9)
geekandproud ($142.05)
BB ($254.5)
UTG ($46.1)
MP ($206.05)

Preflop: geekandproud is SB with 6♣, 8♥. geekandproud posts a blind of $0.5.
3 folds, Button calls $1, geekandproud (poster) completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($3) 7♣, T♣, 9♥ (3 players)
geekandproud bets $4, BB folds, Button raises to $10, geekandproud raises to $30, Button calls $20.

Turn: ($63) J♥ (2 players)
geekandproud bets $111.05 (All-In), Button calls $111.05.

River: ($285.10) 9♠ (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $285.10

Results in below:
Button has 7♠ 9♦ (full house, nines full of sevens).
geekandproud has 6♣ 8♥ (straight, jack high).
Outcome: Button wins $285.10.

Oh well, can’t win every hand where I’m 90% to win. That’s why it’s only 90%. The funny thing is that after this hand, the rest of the table started criticizing my play, not the other guy’s. I wish I could have caught some other cards at the table.
