Today I started +$50, then ended up -$486 before pulling it back to being +$0.70. I was really confident in my game the second half of the session and am really not sure if I played well in the first. I'm going to post the three big pots from yesterday and all the losing hands from today.

Yesterday

I really like my overbet on the flop and obviously love the result of the hand. Standard I think.

This is against the same villain who had the smaller flush. He was insane aggressive and playing 60/40. Because of that, I was never worried about AA and just trying to find a way to get as many of his hands to shove as possible. I cbet the flop thinking I can rep AK and 99+ all call. On the turn, I figured he might percieve a check as weakness and bluff with anything he happened to have. I also thought that if he had a hand like 99 or TT with a club he might semi bluff. I ship over the bet (he timed down before calling) and hold.

Great flop for me angainst an aggressive 3-better. I decide to raise the flop small, repping as much strength as possible and get a call. The tough decision is on the turn. A check back is deffinitely the lower varience play. At the time I was banking on the fact that most villains are scared money playing deep and might fold a hand like AJ. He needs to fold 20% of the time for this shove to break even but that's really too low since I have equity if I check back. All in all I think a check back is better.

Today:

Villain was a reasonable TAG and the game had just broked to 3 handed. In the games now no one gives you credit if you 3bet from the blinds and no one gives you credit 3 handed. When villain raised me on that flop I thought there were really 0 hands in his value range and decided to 3-bet bluff. The only problem is villain is getting 3:1 on his call. If he calls with everything then its a fold since even though i have some equity against mid pocket pairs, its not enough. If he folds sometimes though it could be a good play.

Villain had 2 and 4 bet me a ton in his first 20min on two of my tables. I decided to take a stand. I think its a good spot. Too bad no run good.

Here MP is 42/38 ans SB is 26/24 and very aggressive. I have a bunch of history over the past week of 3 and 4 betting the SB. I call behind preflop expecting SB to squeeze and then planning to make him fold to a 4bet. When he reships I'm getting to good a price to fold.

I'm happier with those losing hands than I thought I would be. While there are all totally avoidable (none were standard shoves) I don't think any were terribly spewy (except hand 1). Overall I just think I need to not let my mistakes compound. All three of these hands happened close together and I think I could have reduced some varience and not gotten down into such a big hole by passing up on 1 or 2 pretty marginal spots.

Until next time.
