Reached my goal for this month already

0

I just wrote almost a whole page and wanted to edit a picture, was asked to open the pop-up and when I clicked it reloaded the writing is gone :(

But ok, of we go again. We finnaly got a very cool doggy! Her name is Lady and she's about 1.3 years old. She's very cool and friendly but just a little scared sometimes. We got her through an organisation that recues dogs mostly from Gran Canaria. Here is a picture of her:

and another :)

Now let's talk poker a bit.

I'm running pretty dran hot! 8.39BB/100 over the 13.7K hands this month. 10.4k at NL200 with 7.61BB/100 and 3.2k at NL100 for 10.81BB/100. With a total result of $3,893.72! My goal for the month was $3k so that's a good thing. I also got a $275 end-year bonus from FTP and around $500 in rakeback. So hopefully things will be going well the rest of the month and I can take a nice start into my challenge to reach NL1000 by the end of july.

For some weird reason it isn't showing the stats picture correct so here is the link:

Now for some hands I played today. I'll start with the 2 big ones I won.

Bluff catching

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1943321

I was pretty active at the table and his limp/minreraise scared me a bit at first but I obviously have to call the minreraise pre-flop.

Now on the flop he bets pot super quick and the board isn't that scary. Now someone who wants to trap me by limp/reraising and then pots it super quick like he's trying to scare me. I think for a sec and decide to call and re-evaluate the turn.

Now on the turn he makes a super overbet. Now I have never ever seen someone limp/reraise, pot the flop and pushes the turn w/ a huge overbet on such a board with AA, KK etc. And why would he try to trap me pre-flop (that's what donks try the do this way most of the time) and scare me off on a J high flop? So I put him on a hand like AK/AQ/ or just a pissed trash hand and call. Tadaaaa AK

Standard AA hand

I get 4-bet preflop, she/he is 33.3/28.5/5 over 19 hands or so. So pretty aggro and loose. I'm pretty lag also so I decided to just call the 4-bet instead of push, esp. with the small 4-bet. If she has a weak hand and tries to get me off of my (maybe in her eyes bluff) 3-bet I probably can get some value, and a hand like TT will fold to a push maybe. I plan to c/r the flop.

Perfect flop for me against a villian with a weakish pair and I get all the money in. I decided not to c/c, c/c because she/he can never fold for the $55 in $342 pot without a pure bluff.

What can you do against a lucky donk

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1943781

Villain = 55/24/0.82

Standard pre-flop

I raise the flop in case he has a draw he's paying and he'll never fold any overpair so let's get it in sir.

Turn, well how can I fold to his raise. I'm prob beat but what the hell.

Showdown is just sick, added to my buddylist. How can you hate the guy, easy money!

Small loss, calling with A high getting 6.6 to 1

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1943805

Villian = 60.8/8.7/0.56 over 46

Pre-flop standard, Isolate the fish with a good hand in position.

Perfect flop to continuation bet on. The c/c can mean anything. A paired King, a FD, Ace high, small pocket pair, most of the time.

I check the turn behind because it's likely I still have the best hand and he isn't folding a flushdraw or A high probably.

On the river he bets $10 into a $56 pot. I think I'll see a bluff here enough to call with ace high getting 6.6 to 1.
