Brag: Up 7k€ Sklanksy bux today
Beat: Down like 6k€ real monies
Variance: I still think Dilba is very boinkable.

So far I'm 0/3 in decent sized allin flips at 25/50. 99 lost to AKs, AKs lost to QQ and AKo lost to JJ (granted, it was only a 50bb pot or less, vs some shortie). Basically kept away from playing good people HU at 10/20 except for one dude I feel I've got an psychological edge over. Dunno, guess I'll grind some more 3/6 tonight since I keep winning a ton there and then go losing it on coin flips higher

. Feels really good anyway though, considering I'm finally feeling fairly at home at 10/20 with bet sizes and such. Hoping to be a full time 5/10 reg and playing mostly 10/20 within the next 5 months or so.

Some hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/727712 : AA dude is a nit so it's fairly likely that he slowplays something, I'd say that he has me beat like half the time or so, however, the other dude is much deeper with me and his shove seems like some decent flush draw that I'm more or less flipping with at best. Don't think he slowplays high pairs or plays them like that after the flop very often and if he flopped a set it's too weird of a way to play it for me to buy it. I guess some 2ps are possible but unlikely due to pf. Thus, do you guys think I've got enough equity here?

My first "thin" calldown for stacks at 10/20: http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/727713

On another note I'm running at 14ptbb/100 so far this month over like 17k hands. And 5k under equity. Obviously it's a lot of hidden random luck and such but and I'm probably running really good in spots as far as hitting the right parts of peoples ranges and such goes, but it's still very nice to feel that I might actually be a winning player at 10/20.

Also, it might be the fact that I've been having some real nice results the last 8 weeks or so, but I feel that I can deal with beats much better then before.

Didn't I read that the new plan was to plan 5/10 and lower for two weeks? GL on your shots

Of course it was a good shove, I won

Yea, unless the games was really good. Obviously don't want to go into exactly who sucks and how but I'm fairly sure that if that game had been 5/10 the waiting list would've been loooong. Overall pretty happy with my decision to sit. Also, I'm having problems following plans unless I've got bets on it or something like that and Pinball didn't want to bet
