I have been flooding the hands box with my mass hand uploads cause I'm too lazy to click that little box saying not to make it public. I think this is probably annoying so from now on I will try to be less lazy. Damn extra mouse clicks. Is there a setting to change the default on that check box???

First day playing since leaving Costa Rica. The flight back was horrible - 16 straight hours of travel cause we had to fly to Miami, then Houston, then Denver. Was supposed to go through Chicago but we missed our connection. Thank god, I really didn't want to add those extra hours. Was too dead to play yesterday but today after a nice day getting caught up at work I got in a session tonight. Came out ahead again with a 3 buyin win, but man did I ever leak all over the place. Raising a little too much PF with marginal hands. Got a long list of losing hands and only a few winners. And I don't think that any of my losers helped me get the winners... no image building or anything of that sort.

Been on a nice streak overall though. Hope it keeps strong so that I can hit $750 and move up to NL25 with 30 buyins and a nice cushion. I think I'm about ready for it, but am glad to take a few more sessions to plug up these leaks before making the move.

<center>Top 6 Hands That I Dunno How To Handle:</center>

1) Check river? Bet river smaller?

2) Called him down cause I had a feeling that he thought I was being tricky... glad I did!

3) Bet half the pot on the river?

4) I had made a bunch of PF raises and followed with cont bets so I decided to check behind for once. Then made an attempt with the J on the board. When the ace hit and he bet out, I got worried about 2 pair and thought he might have AJ so I didn't raise and just called. Maybe I shoulda been thinking that this was a reason to fold instead since he was a passive pla<x>yer... i dunno

5) Not sure how to play this differently... feel like checking the flop is too weak and gotta bet that turn vs him since he calls a lot.

6) Get out on the turn?

<center>THE FOLLOWING HANDS ARE ONLY HERE FOR MYSELF - I WANT TO LOOK BACK AT THEM IN THE FUTURE. IF YOU'RE KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE INPUT, PLEASE DO IT ON THE 6 HANDS ABOVE WHICH ARE 3 WINNERS AND 3 LOSERS THAT I MESSED UP</center>

Cooler, KK allin vs QQ T_T

Fold to flop raise eh?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/282454

Check river me thinks...
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/282455

Planned to Cr the Flop. Then I fucked up with the weak turn bet, but figured with the checks behind no one was that strong and wanted to entice em to call even though they only got 2 to 1 odds.

Guy was a bit aggr but I got worried on the turn, couldn't figure what he'd have that was worse than my hand.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/282461

Wanted to CR the flop since I'd seen him bet in pos when checked to a few times...
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/282463

Bad bluff.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/282464

I think this was a good fold. The guy was TA.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/282466

It was good of me to get out of the way on this one, but should I have avoided the flop raise? I think it was ok. Once I saw the PFR cold call I put him on a set of kings, so taht was nice to see come out. Was thinking the other pla<x>yer might have AK, wrong on that count.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/282468

Thought I had a tell on him being on a flush draw, was wrong. I knew he was feeling weak, but it wasn't a flush draw that had him feeling that way. Meh.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/282470

This was a horrible hand. I ch'd the scary flop. Hit the set and was worried about a straight, so I didn't get crazy. Then I got stupid on the river.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/282471

Hmmmmm cont bet fails, give up on turn. right? =)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/282472

<center>WINNERS:</center>

This was a fun hand. So happy when the flush hit!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/282473

Another nice moment.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/282474

This also worked out well. Was very surprised this guy called me down.

Dunno how to handle
1. I like raising more pf, to like 0.9 or 1. If what you bet is putting him all in, then the river bet is fine.
2. I don't raise the flop usually. It's not drawy and it's multiway. I'd flat and see a turn.
3. Too big of a bet on river IMO. You're beaten by Kh, and a variety of boats. I'd actually check/call the river most of the time because you're not getting value out of many hands if you bet.
4. Bet more on turn if you're contbetting. I'd prolly make a small raise on river and fold to push.
5. This is fine.
6. Nothing wrong either.

1) Yeah, raising a bit more PF would be good, but it was about pot so it wasn't horrible, at least I don't think so.

2) Hmmm, I guess I just like to go for a CR in these situations with questionable hands so that I am doing SOME CR's and not always betting out good hands and checking bad ones, but not feeling like I missed a chance to milk it when they fold. It seems like people tend to fold to a CR pretty often cause its' a strong show of strength, so if I only CR with great hands then they don't get paid off as well. So a CR with a weaker hand like this, if he folds I'm very happy. Is this a bad way to think?

3) Gotcha, good points.

4) I did about 2/3 on turn... that's not enough? You're the one who taught me to always do 2/3 so that they can't get a read on ur bet size! =) And yeah, I agree about the river vs normal opp, but this guy was passive passive passive, so his bet was huge to me. Almost big enough to fold to, but that was a hard laydown.

5) Roger.

6) Glad to hear it =)

Thanks Chen, much <3 for the advice!
