.05/.10

Back in the saddle againnnn.... Oh yeahhh.... Yeah yeah... Wah chica wah chica wah wah.. Yeah, I got to play again last night and things were running, WELL.... Its been over a week since I've had a loser knock on wood, so I keep waiting on the inevitable downswing. I do feel like even though I know it'll happen, it won't hurt me too bad. I've noticed that I tend to control my losses when it comes to cash. I have a 2 bi stop loss. My problem tends to be I'll go play in tourneys and sats and blow 15 bi. But I've learned that tendancy and will not let it happen again.... Yeah, we'll see about that, but that is the plan.

Yesterday I got my eval at work. They obviously don't have IT monitoring my CR Visits =P. Went well, I do a good job though just like to check out CR during working hours when there and I'm bored to tears is all =P.

Well last night, like I said I started out hot and just pretty much stayed that way. I ran even for quite a few hands but the last third of the session went very good ending me up a little over 3 buy ins. No complaints here. I hate it when people say sesh, don't you? Guess I'm too old lol. 39. DAMN!

Anyways some hands of interest. Gunna post a loser today. I know I know the negativity! But I just want it here for a reason and that reason is recognition and as a reminder of a mistake. One of the things about last night was my biggest loser hand which is right below was only 21BB. And I only lost 5 hands which cost me more then 5BB each. I mean, I was making some great (IMO) pf laydowns where I was in position against a limper and raiser with my normal raising hands I was either going to 3bet or lay them down and if I didn't feel like the hand was strong enough to three bet I wasn't playing them. Then my three bet hands were paying off. Was working suprisingly well =P

I felt there was a very slim possibility that he had a busted flush, but in my gut I knew the river card was the card that made his hand. Villain was running 90/9 lol. Still, given the situation I think I could certainly have folded this hand.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2305246">Hand 2: Presto is gold... I call with p5 here, this is early on the villain is a guy who I've seen around a lot a regulard who plays 30/12 over about 250 hands. Flop: I'm in position and everyone calls a min bet, why not join them. I figure someone probably, maybe has a jack but for the odds, why not try and spike the 5. The turn goes check all around and why not, I only have a pair of 5s and I'm only trying for one more why get pushed out. The river comes and PRESTO! Check check bet and I raise him. I pondered my raise I knew he had the Jack. I was very moderately worried he had j9 but I just couldn't him on that... Was very sick he immediately stood up and left table lol. Guess he don't like me =P.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2305255">Hand 3: I three bet him pf and he donk bets out to me pretty sizeable. I am not such a fan of my RR here but it certainly did build the pot. When I made that raise I remember thinking I'll make it this big and if he has a solid king or set he'll call or raise and I can see the turn and hope to spike or fold. He called and like the nickle/dime champ I am, I spike the perfect card and hold.

Well thats bout it for today everything else is pretty everyday boring. So I'll leave ya to go do something worthwhile and as always show ya my PT and EV for yesterday.

Take care,
