A Fun Day

Today I wanted to put in a 10-12 hour session, but ended up doing only 4.5 hours of NL. Played about 1,400 hands and ended up half a buyin, took a 2-outer for 2 buyins early one which killed an early rush.
Then I decided to do a couple of donkaments and final tabled a $5+.50 [...]

Backlogged Hands – 7/23 Session

I really need to update more regularly. For the past few days, I’ve only played around 700 hands a day, which is way too small. Even though I moved down to 4 tables, I’d like to get in 1-1.5k hands a day for the rest of the month. I’ve only played 18k hands this whole [...]

In the clear at last?

Looks like my downswing is finally ending. Today I had a 2.5 buyin day and yesterday was only -$10 after running KK into AA on literally the last hand of the night for $75. I think this is the first time in 3 recent times where I almost folded KK pre thinking I’m up against [...]

Dude is 23/11 over 352 hands, I almost folded but the dude was down 3 buyins. Nice to see my hand hold up for a change.

Backlogged Hands – 7/11 through 7/16

I’ve still got a few blog posts to read before I catch up, and I’m also trying to follow the CR blogs now. I used to only read cts’s and sbrugby’s, but I think they’re pretty useless strategy-wise as it’s mostly about them being ballers, and obviously Guser haters. Looks like the most useful blogs [...]

Backlogged Hands – 7/10

I’ve been so busy trying to catch up with the blogs that I haven’t even posted my sessions. I think I’m making waaaay too many bluffs with PPs, basically trying to win pots way too much when I miss, I’ve turned my pairs into losing hands. Also overthinking situations (like raising draw heavy boards because [...]

Sorry for the break

I just came back from a 3-day break. My last session was -3 buyins, but I thought I played pretty well (probably 3-betting too much in a short period of time, also got 4-outered for 2 buyins). I was just feeling sick and had a headache the past few days, so I decided not to [...]

Sooooo hot!

Had a great AIM chat with Joe (Dice 14) today. We discussed playing back vs 3-bets, but the topic was very broad and we’ve only begun talking about it. This can definitely yield some great results though. For one, it would be nice to get a solid range to play back when you raise on [...]
