Well after last nights freak tournament place, it was time to see whether i not i could cut it at NL25. I 4-tabled with lots of breaks throughout the day, and don't think i did too badly.



I've decided... I should just muck KK preflop, this hand haunted me throughout NL5, and it seems like the curse is following me. I only had 3 coolers/beats throughout the day, and all three came thanks to the piece of shit.

Read spoilers for boring coolers etc.

This one i havn't put in there because, obviously, i had a choice and may have been ahead. Anyone playing this one any differently then i did? After the turn i figured im not even beating half the hands he's bluffing with on the flop.

Those hands aside, i feel i played pretty well. It was fun sitting at tables where the avg VPIP wasn't 40+, as a result, i could finally start playing a bit looser!
Some of the winning hands that i think are at least a bit interesting (feel free to critique, most of the loosy goosy plays were with reads.)

Overall it was pretty fun. I think i went a little overboard towards the end trying to out-play people, but i still picked my spots relatively carefully, and never went hugely broke on a stupid 3-barrel. Hopefully i can comeback tomorrow and do the same, even if i just break even or lose money, i learned a LOT today just in the couple of thousand hands i played, and even ran into some LP'ers who were nice enough to bully the crap out of me with constant 3-bets and pushing over my c-bets when i would call them.

The last KK hand,

You got any read on the guy at all? Some stats/read helps a lot in this situation. Against some its an easy muck on the flop while some will be overvalueing AT and worth getting it in against them.

As played i hate your turn lead, you are totally turning a hand with decent showdown value into a pure bluff. If you are flatting flop imo you need to check turn and evaluate, if he leads out strongly he probably isn't scared of the ace and you can fold imo, since you beat like nothing.

Flop is very very dry, no draws at all so a preflop flat and raising screams nuts/air tbh.

GL on moving up. Just keep yourself on 4 tables for a while to really get a feel for how NL25 plays.
