July 7th - 13th, 2007
Today's summary:
Commentary:
I've played a pathetic amount of hands this week, but the session this morning was really good. I made a couple questionable calls that I'd like some input on, but other than that, I was playing very well.
These last few months have been pretty shitty. I'm essentially in the middle of a ~20k break-even/losing run, and it's starting to piss me off.
I know I know 20k hands is nothing, pussy!, but I'm still extremely frustrated. Mostly because I don't get a chance to play as many hands as a lot of you, and 20k hands represents a good amount of time.
Oh, I'm going to be in Vegas this weekend on business, and I'll have ~6 hours or so Sunday morning at the tables if anyone happens to be around at that time. I'll probably play some 200NL at MGM. If anyone has advice on better games (near MGM), do tell.
Here's a song that captured me with its pure lyrical genius. I was riveted from beginning to end.
Okay, on to the hands:

(Note we are somewhat deep) I question my flat of his min-raise on the flop. I put him on 99/TT/JQ/JT, and I was going to re-evaluate a blank turn. Once he leads weakly on the turn, is this an automatic shove? What if we were 100bb deep? The fact he fired another bullet on the turn led me to believe that I had very little FE here, and I decided to take a cheap river.

Very interesting hand here. I feel that I definitely could have found a fold on the river, but what about my flop bet? I hate hate hate automatically assuming villain hit a flush, and I'll lead out like this 90% of the time heads-up. Is this okay? What if I wasn't holding the Kc? and lol @ slow-playing the 7-high flush dumbshit.

I'm not too stoked about how I played this hand. I didn't lead this flop because this guy wasn't being all that active, and I was okay with keeping the pot small at this point. His $4 bet behind led me to believe he was very weak, and I really should have put a raise in here. Once he checked behind on the turn, I had the feeling that I had him crushed (TT-JJ/AK), and I was comfortable with v-betting the river and folding confidently to a re-raise.
I played the flop like shit though.
raise more preflop, how many tables was that? if its too many tables just cut it down and focus on whats good and whats not so good to raise and focus on your opponents
flatting flop is fine, he can do this with just a bare jack and u have position
turn call is ok cuz its small and u now have a flush draw and are deep plus he might be bluffing and u can showdown it on river with a check
river is fine obv

wtf? okay, raise tens preflop, raise like 77+ in this spot and sometimes 66
u played this really aggro, on river u bet too much imo, u can check too if u think he missed totally and wants to bluff, fire like $11 on river for value
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/230600
i assume u have some kinda reason to stack off with QQ here like his stats as 30/27/5 or something
if he's a nit this is kinda bad but its not really bad if he's one of those guys who sits in with $10 and lets it ride on retarded shit
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/230604
why did u just check call this flop? its bad, your not protecting your hand from anything and he will stack off with 77+ if u play it aggro so do so
fire $11 on flop and get it in and if he flats fire/shove turn

dont bet this flop they stack off with way too much and dont call after having bet it even to such a small bet (which isnt actually all that small), pot odds here is bullshit
if poker is dangerous to them i would rank sports betting as a Kodiak grizzly bear who smells blood after you just threw a javelin into his cub - RaiNKhAN
how is 5.90ptbb/100 being lucky? it shud just be a normal run lol, are u a winning player?
Im not sure what to do tomorrow when I see her, should I shake her hand?? -Floofy

I run 9 tables. I don't often lose focus, though. The TT hand is a raise for me 90% of the time, and the QQ hand was played very strangely when I look at it now. I can probably attribute both of these to a loss in focus.

EDIT: We were playing back and forth a bit, but you're right, I should find a better spot.

Yeah, I have the tendency to donate to small stacks in this situation. A lot.
not necessarily correct but the board is super draw heavy and theres a lot he can have that u want to protect from that he will call with if u pot the turn so do so
none of this weak bet shit =o
