Hey guys, just a quick recap of my hands from today. I was fortunate that I was really in only two or three cooler situations in 2k hands, but as you will see below I am still making far too many mistakes. Hopefully constant review and work will change this but this really should have been a huge session win for me. In fact I was up 6.5bi before I unlicked the blinds and then I lost a record 3.5 buy ins in about 3 minutes. Pretty tough way to end things, but honestly I still need to play better. Even if I had quit 3 minutes earlier, I think that the situations I was in today, I would have played pretty poorly not to win 9 or 10. Anyway here are the losers.

I sort of was just trapped into math in this hand, this player just sat down and bought in for a strange amount so I think he was a fish and just assumed I was getting the correct price with implied odds to make the call here and shove my straight outs that hit and c-c my flush outs.

WTF is wrong with me, I don't know if my timing used to be way better than it was with these plays but come on, stop with all of the 5bet bluffing!

I really wish I would have played this hand differently. It was one of the first 5 hands with this opponent, I was about ready to quit my session and not knowing anything about the opponent I think makes this shove on the river quite poor, in fact even my turn bet is highly questionable.

AA vs AK

Man I kept telling myself when I called turn that I absolutely cannot call a king on the river and depending on timing tells not a queen either. I knew what he had, I told myself the whole time I can't call here, and still I fucking find a call. Really awful

Couldn't dodge one over and a flush draw from a fishy player. One of the few hands in this group of losing hands I wasn't totally disappointed with my play.

AK vs QQ

I was in a tricky spot on the river here. This player doesn't have many 8x hands here. I also thought he would 3bet TT a decent amount of the time, and was decent enough that he could triple barrel off KQ or maybe even QJ here, as well as a number of bluffs. This read after I finished the session I don't like nearly as much and would probably just go ahead and bet two streets and check fold the river against him because he ended up on the tight side. The way the games are formulating now, I think introducing regs to a different check calling range than most people have in this spot is a good element to my game though.

I think that I should be check folding the turn here. This guy has a very wide callinge range on the flop, but there are so few hands that you can even float with unless you float with 0 equity so I think that folding the turn and if he happens to float me then that is fine. Still struggling a little bit with the change in the games in 3bet pots. There are so few folds on the flop I need to just find better hands to barrel with, merge my 3bet bluffing range some more, and find some more creative ways to get them to value own or barrel bluff me off.

This player and I have so much history, AQ even on this scary a board is a very good hand. Obviously I wasn't happy to call off here with the turn texture, but I think he shoves when checked to with his whole range that includes even hands like 87.

At this point in the session I should have known far better than to call down. Just a horrendous horrendous call here. Man this is terrible, FOLD ABSOLUTE VALUE HANDS WHEN THEY AREN"T RELATIVE STRONG.

Thanks again to Sjaak for helping me out today on a lot of hands.

I have to get up in 5 hours and counting for a grudge golf match. Should be a lot of fun, and its always a good day when you can be playing golf in 60 degree weather in January.

Salud!
