I havn't been running very well at 5/10, after 4-5 weeks of playing 3/6 without a single losing session I suppose this was due. My overpairs are running into higher overpairs and or are getting sucked out on + people seem to just be picking up better hands. So the last 2-3 days have been going poorly and I no longer feel I am playing my A-game, I don't feel my edge is very big in my current state so I will drop down and regroup temporarly. It's funny how confident you become after a really good month and how quickly things can take a turn for the worse :D

3/6 is my A game so I will play it for a few days and go back to 5/10 when I feel I am good and ready.

I had two interesting hands today:

<a href="http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/109748">http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/109748</a> People have tol d me this is a spew but I generally don't get these wong. My thought process is preety simple: if his hand isn't strong enough to bet the turn it's not strong enough to make this river bet as a value bet therefore it must be a bluff. This board has a lot of missed straights and that's exactly what I put him on, I felt he is only doing this with a hand that has absolutley no showdown value. Also it's transparent my hand is weak and I would figure if he had anything decent he would value bet it because it's clear I'm not strong enough to call a big bet.

<a href="http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/109644">http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/109644</a> This guy was on tilt and I figured only a stronger hand would call a 2nd barrel from me so I decided to let him bluff off his chips. I also didn't think he would smooth call a flush in his "tilt" stage most players on tilt will repop me here with any draw.

That's all for now, also this month I've played 14k hands so I think I will reach the goal of 75k. I'm on pace to exceed this but I will certainley take days off.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same
