I looked...

and I like what I saw. Ship the 5BB/100 at 2/4 only over a 13K hand sample but I think I have alot of room for improvment at the moment which is pretty fucking awesome if you ask me. I am 4 lifetime over 34k so that nots to shabby. My BB/100 is higher on FTP then AP which is pretty dam lol. Speaking of lol I will reveal my most deadly weapon in my arsenal. If you say lol outloud it sounds like lull thus I call it loling them to sleep.



Villain is a standard 21/18/3 aggro reg. The key to this hand is that I typed lol mid way through his timebank at which point he insta jammed. Best of all Dodgy was watching this session and told me not to type anything. After I did and the hands were revealed he nearly died from laughter.

I just had to open my mouth.

Was trying to post a graph of my last few days as they have been fun ones. Woke up Saturday ready to go and proceeded to just over play the fuck out of my hands preflop and get owned to the tune of 6 BI's. I have slowly pieced it back together and feel every day of playing this game is a learning experience. I need to get back in the zone. If you get a chance watch a Jfish vid from 2's cracked his pace is awesome. I truly enjoy poker when I take my time and make my decisions without rushing myself. I am going to conciously make an effort to think through the better/callers range before I make my action(any action)from now on.

Ship it!

FTP 2/4 6-max be warned, I moved my roll*. Now I am comfortably rolled and will be mostly grinding 2/4. I still havent looked at my results, just hands and hours, it is around 11k and 36 respectively. AEJONES thing is going insanely well. My eyes have been opened. Poker is a numbers game, learn the math and have no tilt.

*I was inspired by LuckySOB and Dodgyken.

Havent looked

I check my session results and that is all. Have yet to look at my totals for the month. i do glance at number of hands played in game notes as well as hours played in sessions. 16 hours so far this month and 5420 hands. Feel my game is growing every session and my eyes are starting to really open up to just how focused and deep thinking a high stakes winner needs to be. Too often I find myself resorting back to my hand strength and not even thinking through my opponents range. The truth of the matter is that should be my 1st thought always. Here are some hands where I dont think. Also one where I do.

Villain is 20/17/4 winning regular. When he raises my cbet we have to stop and put him on a range. It seems like a very marginal spot and as weak as it seems this may be a fold. Curious to see what other do on the flop.

Villain is 38/23/1.6 with a flop AF of 5. Again another spot where I think my hand doesnt fair extremely well vs his range. What is our best line vs his range?

Villain is 61/11/5.5, he tended to over bet if weakness was present. I decide to check back my two pair on the flop to induce. When he fires the turn I again decide to extract max value I will flat allowing him to spew on the river. Maybe I should have min raised the river?
