And I need TP! Tp for my... Bunghole... Bunnnnnngggghollllioooooo! Ahh man, I should go buy those dvds. They're truly classic. Course I recken most you guys have no clue bout some Beavis and Butthead =P

Onto Poker. Yesterday was great, I went into the day seeking to focus on a more aggressive play and cutting down on my early position play. One of the new things I had been trying is to play some suited connector type hands UTG so as to get my bigger hands paid off more, but what I've found is that I typically just spew cash from that position so I tightened it up. All in all I feel I had a very solid day position/aggression wise. Perhaps I could have been more aggressive on the turns, but I am still learning.

One thing which I feel holds me back is my focus on results. I don't want to say I'm scared money, but at times I find myself making decisions based on the fact that I'll just get called down or whatever. Yesterday I said screw it, just be balls to the wall and it worked. I think early on I was more aggressive as once I booked the big 3.5 bi win, I shut down just trying to grind out the rest of my 500 hands. I considered stopping while ahead, but I had to get in the hands at which point I ran into this hand.

I figuered I'd call his raise and defind my bb and what do ya know, I floped the nut flush. I chose in my infinite stupidity to slowplay this hand, the guy was aggro 70/5 so I knew he'd pay me off. Goes check check on flop, interesting, turn once again, check check. River comes is another spade the king so I figure the guy will pay off any spade and I bet out, he raises I wind up getting it ai. The problem I have, is that I paid no attention to the board and I didn't even see the paired board. I thought about a boat when I made the call but I swear I didn't see the paired board. I just misread the bitch. I dunno. I called and he stacked me leaving a couple hands later. Sigh.

This hand I knew I was beat on the flop, on the river I knew if I wasn't beat on the flop, I was beat now. I called..

So, things did turn around. On this hand I flop a set with a draw out there, the turn hits, draw comes into play. I call like a donk his RR to my turn bet and what do ya know, the river saves the day...

Flopped a flush here, just trying to get max value out of it. Obviously I do ;)

This is one of my favorite hands of the session. One of the things I wanted to implement yesterday was betting my draws so when they hit I could get paid off better. Works.

Here is a hand where I felt I was ahead on every street but knew the guy was an aggro leader. I put him on what he had. Well I didn't think his draw was as strong as it was but I got paid.

So thats it for the hands, hope some were interesting. I'll leave out with my PT stats and poker ev for 3/6/2008.

Peace!
