Again I was playing 5/10 today 8 tabling full ring. Got off to a mediocre start but then made the money back and some. For whatever reason I was not winning any coinflips today, I got a few people to fold with aggresive pushes but if they called I almost always lost which sucks :/ I played preety decent today, the hands I lost most of them preety much played themselves, and I don't see anything wrong with the way I played most of them.

After about 1300 hands or so playing 5/10 I was stuck 4 buy ins and was a little fed up that I have not yet booked a winning session (only 2 attemps not really big sample size). But I did realize full ring is a grind, the hands/hour is lower and I sometimes it's frustrating when you'r sourrounded by smallstacks or just lunatics and are forced to play ABC poker.

So from now on I am going to make a small change of plans. Rather than grind out 5/10 full ring I will play 6-handed and see where that goes. Since The weakest part of my game at the moment is heads up and maybe 3 handed. So I will go to 2/4NL and 3/6NL for a little while to fix these problems. It will be an easy learning process because I have 200+ buy ins for these stakes so rather than think about the money I will just focus on the poker which is always good.

Hands from today:

<a href="http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58673">http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58673</a> *Standard. Really marginal push by him... the only hand he beats is mine but he can't know that. Can't blame him however.

<a href="http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58686">http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58686</a>
<a href="http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58692">http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58692</a>
<a href="http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58696">http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58696</a>
<a href="http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58700">http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58700</a> *Weird where do I lose money That flush draw cracking my set was frustrating, Im happy that people are making such big mistakes but it sucks to lose the pots :/
<a href="http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58705">http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58705</a> *Blind vs blind... I have a really aggresive image, same guy who pushed with 87 pair + straight draw, I insta-called this this is really unfortuante. I suspect had the flop come Q high or T high he would also play a big pot with me. But rather than check raise the turn, he would check/call every street.
<a href="http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58725">http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58725</a> *Again cant win money if you don't win races.
<a href="http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58727">http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58727</a> *Standard 2 outer.
<a href="http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58794">http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/58794</a> *So here I will start playing 6-max.

It's amazing how I lose money playing such donks, but when you are losing 6:5 races and 3:1 races there's just nothing you can do but watch. So 6-max seems really good, you get about 40-50% more hands per hour and player quality is still very weak. We will see where this goes.
