This one tabling thing is going well. Running a little above average and winning 25BB is great. Also feel like I'm playing well.

I have definetely switched to a low-variance style in the last week. Instead of really pushing FE in spots, I have been calling a lot more and evaluating again on the next card.

Example: today I was playing an incessant 3better and we are 100bb deep. I raise with T963, he 3bets, I call. Flop is T54 rainbow. He pots. Normally I would raise and get it all in here. However, this guy was barrelling like 100% of the time so I knew if I hit anything on the turn (esp a 2,7 or 9) I can fist pump push. So I flatted the flop, Ace comes on the turn, he pots again and I fold.

This new strategy is very negative on my red line, which I don't give a damn about anyway. The pot above I'm either going to lose 54 w/out a showdown or likely win 200 w/ a showdown. I like my chances. So while my red line has been taking a hit, I'm in the green overall. Overall winnings is the only thing that matters anyway.

Even though I'm up, today I have taken a hit, losing 6 buy ins and running... surprise, surprise... 6 buy ins under equity. Awesome. I have had 7 all ins. The worst equity I have had is 42% and under 50% twice.. I have won once. Some of the hands my opponent has gotten it in with the top 10% of his pushing range as well, so I should have even higher equity. I guess I didn't follow the rule of stopping at a -500$ loss, but my play has not suffered at all today.

Even after losing a lot today, I'm still up ~600$ over ~1200 hands for a 15 ptbb winrate. Not bad. Running 800$ below equity overall.

Nice to win these for once. Pretty sick flop, but I'm putting the rest in no matter what the flop brings.

This guy would raise every time it seemed I wasn't strong. There were a couple hands before this where he would raise with bluffcatchers instead of just calling. I guess he figures he can't lose if he gets me to fold. This wasn't a snap call, but I figured he was bluffing enough of the time.

I generally run horrible at these ante tables. Loose 3bet, above average flop, and I hold on (barely) for the win.

Now a few losers:

This player was 3betting 40% of the time, tilting, and was getting owned. His turn chk/raise screams a draw or mediocre hand. He could have already had a better two pair on the turn, but I called after some thought.

Pretty standard hand from today. I hit a wonderful flop and get it in good. I want him to call my all in all the time so I can't be frustrated when he has the second nuts and boats up. I though about leading out on the flop but there were four people to act behind me. I have to chk/raise big because there are so many turn cards that can kill my action.

This guy was raising 100% of buttons and playing fairly loose in position. Very tough for me to fold this, even 175bb deep. I was pretty happy to get the money in until I saw his hand. I fold this if I have a weak flush draw and less overcards.


Well, thats all for now.
