So, after the last few days bad sessions I decided that today would be a good day. Started up 4 tables at NL25 and almost immediately lost 2 buyins vs the probably fishiest player I've ever met, 80+ VPIP and saw flops with K2o even after pf raise 5xBB. The hands I lost vs him was AA and JJ when he had K2o and T4o.

After that I took a short break, wrote a post in the forums here on LP asking for advices about my limping since a few of you commented that I seem to limp a bit too much in yesterdays blog post. I got a couple of good replies with good points and went down to NL10 to try to put it in action by limping less and do more proper raises when I raise. People at this level are too retarded though and in the first 10 minutes I had AA twice and went AI pf both times when opponents pushed with 77 and 88. Do I even have to mention that both of them managed to hit four of a kind?

At that point I had played 80 hands on NL10 and was -$10 there and 300 hands on NL25 with the result of -$53, so was down a total of -$63 for the session.

Instead of going on at NL10 I decided to go up to NL25 again (yes my patience is a bit bad to say the least) to try my luck with my new moves there instead.

I think I finally got a pretty good grip on things, played more solid and ended the session on plus (!!!!) for the first time in the last few days and felt like I actually played really good for a change. Am aware that my PF AF probably still is way too low and I don't really get how I could end up with lower PFR and PF AF during the second part of the session compared to the first part cause it certainly didn't feel that way... I'll try to work more on it next time.

Some hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/219635 (yes, I lucked out... finding it hard to believe!)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/219647 (not sure if I played this one correctly, ended up being lucky, but feedback appreciated)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/219659 (was a bit worried for overpair in this one, what would you have done?)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/219667 (probably todays' worst play, at least in the good session... just lucky he didn't reraise me *cough sucker*)

Anyway, so the session ended up $52 after todays 1000 hands, thanks to a $115 win streak. Not really happy with the result, but pretty happy with the way the session ended anyway.

BR: $786

I would probably raise to ~$3 here.

Don't flatcall this pre-flop man. Either raise, or fold it. You're going to have position on villain on the flop, so this is almost always a raise. I would only consider limping this hand if there were another couple limpers in the pot.

As played, I don't get why you're chasing a gutshot (on a suited board, nonetheless) for a PSB against two short-stacks. Chase gutshots when 1) you're getting decent pot odds, and 2) you're in the position to win a lot of money.

Just push the flop against the shorty.

Actually, the KJhh hand was much worse than this one imo. You played this one just fine I think, though C/C'ing is also an option when the board pairs.

Thanks. I agree about the KJ hand btw, I made a comment on the hand history page about it myself earlier as well.
