7 days (6 playing days) of NL100.

I've made some nice adjustments, and I'm learning to really be flexible and fluid during the same session on different tables depending on the villains and hence the needs of the tables. Played about 18/16 today, since the tables were tighter than the fish infested weekend lovefests.

However, I am still making pure donkey plays that can potentially ruin a session. Great example is this hand that made me instantly halt my evening session and just quit for the day. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/639613

What makes it worse is that as I looked through all the action, it became clear that my river raise is VERY thin at best, and when he shoves over me I am never good. There are simply no hands that get here that I beat anymore. YET I CALL. I HAVE TOP TWO I CAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Seriously, I play 2000 hands and have 3 like this that just eat me alive. It really really really bothers me that sometimes I'm just not making the right decisions when it matters

. Learning process... I guess. Overall from the results of the day, it was a great success. But nevertheless, these 2,3,4 problem hands just really irk me.

Thanks to Palak, Artanis, Neilly, and bongky for hand input today particularly on betsizing stuff that I wasn't so sure about.

You're not really happy with how the week went, but you're up 1.6k? Solid.

ah come on, you're being too hard on yourself.

The fact that you realize you still have a lot of leaks to fix as a NL100 reg is a really good sign imo. I mean, as long as you realize what your leaks are you can at least work on fixing them. atm I'm really unsure what my leaks are even though I know they're there and that's much more frustrating.

that said, you're a nit! you should play some HU with me to open up your game.

now that I think about it, that'd actually be pretty cool, playing HU and comparing thought processes afterwards. think you might be interested in doing something like that?
