Still playing overall well. Starting to get a much better feel for things. Thrown in a few more bluffs, which is still a very small part of my game, and they've been pretty well timed and gotten laydowns. I will tend to end the session with big stacks on most of my tables, but then only have a 1-2 buyin win cause of my mistakes which lost me money early on.

Also installed the Bet Pot scripts, and they're quite nice. Makes things much easier, plus I suck at calculating the size of the pot when I'm raising someone so speeds things up. I also realized that I wasn't really raising the full pot, my calculations were wrong the last 3 months. Or so says the bet pot script!

Yes it really is a nice laydown in that spot. Especially if you used to go broke with these hands before and now you are recognizing when you are beat is obviously a big sign that you are improving.

You're a pretty good player and I really enjoy watching your pogress and learn and seeing how much of a student of the game you are. Good job and keep up the good work!

I like how it came out as "Finally made a nice lay..." on the main page... shoulda just had a pic of a hot babe as the topic. =) I know it wasn't a monster, but the fact that I nearly always went broke there before makes me very happy!
