Two successful trips were made recently to WinStar, where I was able to win $60 and $225 respectively. Both times I started slow, losing about $125 in the first hour and having to build my way back.
The night I won $225 was mostly from three hands. The first win was my biggest, and it was an all in. I hit a set of dueces on the flop and we got all the money in on the turn. I then flopped two pair and was able to get a nice pot out of that.
My last winning hand was with K-J offsuit. I hit a king on the flop and called a small bet after another player's call with high pair-jack kicker. The turn didn't help, but the river was the ace of hearts and resulted in four hearts on the board. It checked around to me and I almost checked but decided to see what suit my jack was. It turned out to be the heart, so I bet $10, which was an obvious value bet. One player folded and the other called. That pot was about $60 that I lucked into because I don't think my pair of kings with a jack was good anyway.
For the year, I have won only $245 and am making a measly $4.34 an hour. Hopefully things will look better for the latter half of 2012 when it comes to poker.
