Today was an interesting day for me pokerwise
I had some taff hands and a nice session.
I lost quite some heavy pots today and also did 2-3 really bad plays
besides that i played concentrated and good imo.
I am satisfied with how i do the thought process stuff and how i play lately and i guess i am ready for the next stepp. ( Nl50)
I will mainly play Nl25 a bit longer though since university exams are comming up now and i dont wanna make my learning motivation suffer from a possible NL50 Downswing.
you know it can affect your mood greatly when taking a shot at a new limit and then experiencing a DS.
here are some of the hands from today :
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/356469 <--- i played this subotimal i guess but i put him on a 6 and therefore gave action on flop.Turn was the curcial point.. Since i have the higher 2 pairs i tried to get maximum value out of the hand ... went quite wrong.
Thing was this turn will put me behind vs higher pockets and given the flop action thats not too unlikley.
Dusty said this is a very very bad turn ...
I am not 100% sure if it is bad turn for other reason than the possibilty of 77 or 88 killing me here.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/356476 <- biggest pot i lost today
I am preflop agressor and hit a pretty good hand on the flop -> FD + Gutshot + Overcard . I bet and get a small reraise that i call
since i have many outs. Turn gives me a J which leads to having FD + Gutshot + maybe trips and 2 pair outs ... quite a good hand and so i called his small raise positive one of my outs will hit -> maybe pushing here was an option
River was kinda hard ... but i guess i cant fold here ... especially given the action on the table in eariler hands ...
There is also an award for the worst play of the day ending in a nice cooler http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/356690 <--- this was just plain stupid ...
I was putting him on AK after the flop action and i called turn since i ve seen 88 sucking out vs AK like 100% on pokerstars in the last days...
I was laughing my ass of in river only to get beaten in the face ^^ i deserved it.
Yeha i know this sounds stupid but i ve seen AK getting rived by 88 like 5/5 times the last days.
SO i took a gamble ^^
then there was also a guy called eddie2001.
he played insanely bad ... but always got the nutz vs me ...
first 3 hands when i sat down at the table he gave me action like there is no tmorrow and i folded overpairs on turn push and stuff.
Then i thought i must take a stand .. he cant have nutz always !
I was wrong since he always had the nutz the whole session the whole time i played vs him.
