Hi all,
My confidence is definitely growing. So much so the i downloaded the remaining funds, and play $18 buyin in the $25 tables, which game me a 126 buyin buffer.
I now have a database of 200K poker hands, and use it to update my ranges.
Unfortunately the day i played the $25 tables i forgot about my 4 fundamnetal principles.
#1 Quit after losing 1 buyin to an allin bad beat.
#2. Quit when down 3 buyins for the day or session.
#3. Fold to reraises on the flop or preflop unless holding KK/AA.
#4. Fold to any ALL without the absolute nuts.
I was very enthusiastic and a bit too gung ho, well we've all been there.
And got into chasing the down swing for 3.5K of hands and a loss just over 7 table buyins. bonuses go back around $23 thouth.
Overal position results were.
So i did good on the button, CO, and early positions, but got devastated in the blinds.
The day was marred by bad luck as my W$SD were way below my norm.
5 major bad hands lost just over 4 buy in, and result in part by breaking the 4 cardinal rules above.
#1. http://www.pokerhand.org/?5694720
AA v QT, nothing very bad hear other than a draw heavy flop, std bets runing into the nuts.
#2 http://www.pokerhand.org/?5694725
88 V K7s, the flop is clearly around 800:1, and yes he could have had other hands, but i broke RULE #4, and one really should avoid big bet coin flips, so a collosal ERROR.
#3 I don't need to show, just stupidity, AK get reraised by AA big time and i call. What was i thinking, unreal. breaks rule #3 and one buyin down the drain. So that's to gigantic errors.
#4 http://www.pokerhand.org/?5694736
QJs v AA. Now fist off, I should not call 5X raise from the blinds with this hand to just one opponent, as it plays best multi way. Then i just got unlucky, and hit, and he was happy for me to just bet into him.
#5 88 V AA need no explanation other than fold pairs less than KK to a preflop reraise. QQ might be an exception to a wide 3 bet stat.
There were other hands that violate the 4 cardinal rules.
On the positive side there was.

My new and more normal cbet at 63% won $55.
Cold calling cost me 1.5 buyins due to not hitting on 67 hands.
3-bets 23 hands bought in a modest $5.8, and was marred my
AA folded.
AND KK finding an XXV flop which went bet, call, check, raise fold.
The button against unopened and limpers bout in $27, led by the big one buyin KK hand.
So it reminded me of some general leaks i needed to plug.
When i play I have my hud stats up in paint at the side of the desk top for quick reference.
AND my current HUD for those interested is.
VPIP PFR W$aSD
Fold Flop Cbet % Flop CBet Fold v turn bet
SB open call, BB open call
3 Bet % Fold to 3 bet % Donk Flop bet % Fold donk bet v reraise pot.
I play on a laptop with all tables overlapping, and for my currents goal, needs i'm restricting this to 10 tables.
I also have my position ranges written and set out for viewing.

That's the best from my current 200 K database.
So no sweat losing 7 buyins from 126.
I just moved down and am still running bad.
Right now im in my winter mega focused on poker frame of mind, with both enthusiasm, and endless determination.
Yesterday i biked with the Saturay group. going with the 20-22 mph group. Down near my house I led at 20 mph for about 3.7 miles. Let out on the first sprint at 23 mph into the wind, and took off in the last springt into some wind up to 26+ mph and 170+ HR. So i worked pretty hard.
Then its eat and sleep. So i didn't get many hands in as i went out (VERY RARE) to see some musician friends at 9 pm.
The 953 hands i did get in left a small loss.
My latest range addition namely suited 1-gappers from CO and Btn, and suited connectors from the SB/BB won just over 1 buyin ($11)
When i have a flush draw, i will pretty much call the first raise always. The big winner was
98s v 9Q

My current project is to watch ALL Vitalmyth vids, and as he suggest run two tables at the side while in at it.
I'm giving it my best, trying to get my A game to gether, always using pot bets preflop, and mostly a mix of 1/2 and 2/3 cbets unless the nuts or a set then pot it.
