It had been a while that I made pretty bad spewey moves but I did that today. I was 4 tabling mixed omaha and holdem for like 3 hours straight without a break, everything was going well then a friend started chatting with me. We discussed Lakers Golden State and Fenerbah§e Chelsea match ups and I lost control. I'm having a small downswing mostly coming from 100NL HU holdem so I am gonna go to my strengths and play HU exclusively at 50cNL.

Hope this will help.

My goal of putting big number of hands is going well except my bad habit of not getting enough breaks. So I'm content. I feel like I can win at the games I play pretty easily if I get a slightly more agro but more controlled approach.

I lost 150$ today. Mostly at 100NL HU. I ran pretty bad against a poor player. I didn't play my A+ game all around but I felt like I had an edge in every game I played.

I feel like my 6max game is not really sound right now so I won't play 100NL 6max until I feel comfortable. I am gonna continue with HUNL and PLO games + 4 tabling 50NL 6max.

I am content with the amount of hands I played. The real difficulty is to play a sound game through hours and although I wasn't playing really good, I never went to my C game.

Here are some hands that I noted to blog.

This hands was played last week, which shows how to play spewey in omaha. My problem with his river bet is more and more players are betting the river almost 100% of the time when they have nothing and they are not value betting thin. Here villain has to have the nuts or nothing, so I made a move. The problem is not the move itself but the money villain has. He has so little behind that this move won't work profitably ever.

I'm thinking about the river stack sizes more and more and this is an aspect of the game which I have to improve.

It is getting a lot harder to blog mostly because of my laziness, so I will try to make goals and keep day to day records here. I was out of town until yesterday and made a nice start with a 4.5 BI day.Recently I was thinking about my game and I am kind of disappointed with the following:

• I'm not examining my plays as I used to.
• I'm not capable of playing long hours.

Thus, in order to fix the above issues I will post interesting hands on the blog and keep a record for the hours I put in. It will be hard for this week since I have many things to do out side of poker.

One of the things that people we look up to in poker (Brian T. Cole S. PA) did was to play 8-10h(maybe more) a day especially while they were growing as a player. And I believe this is one of my main weaknesses. Especially when I'm up a few BI I get the tendency to leave the tables, lose focus and start to play bad.

Hopefully this blog will help me.

Just dropped close to 200$ after the game. This is my first looking day in about a week. Gasol stopped my 22BI upswing.

I can't believe I tilted :)

I am gonna stop playing on Cake for a while. For some reason I can't win :) It's not that I am playing bad or tilting but just not getting good situations. After this hand I decided I should give it a break for a couple of days:

This hand may seem bad but I guess the only mistake was on me not evaluating stack sizes good enough :) So many people call flop and turn and fold to a bet on the river.

I lost 20$s today but I played pretty well. It feels gooooooood to come back to my senses :) I lost two big coin flips and they made the diffrance. I don't mind losing when I play alright.

For some reason I can't stop spewing this month. I am down 250$ overall for the mont , which is not much but I feel I can't get into the rhtym of playing. Also I should start table selecting HU. I played two guys which were slightly better than me and I lost the 250$ to them.

One reason for my bad play is I don't really have the time to play thesedays, so whenever I have time I force myself to play which always results in downswings. Still I believe I have a huge edge against 80-90% of the field so I should be fine if I get into my A game.

I started the new month with a 2 BI downswing. I am calling this a downswing since after how I ended February, losing 5$ would be a downswing. This the last 9 days of Feb.

And I made him stay :)

I think with rakeback I made a very small profit today. I didn't run good on Cake and lost 100$ there. My 100NL experience was pretty much close to nothing. I lost half a BI there but I felt OK. Surely I am +EV on Cake. I played a very long HU session against a very aggressive opponent on FT. I started pretty bad, didn't adjust well and fell back 2.5BI. I am proud that I didn't tilt at this point and came back. After 350 hands I finished the session 2BI up.

I haven't had a losing day like in a week and I am glad to finish the day up.
