Yesterday played 859 hands, won $122.

Standard flop a monster against a TAG hand here. This opponent was 11/6/2.5 with a 33 WTSD and a pretty good winner. I figured he would CB me and I could raise / push. This seems like no one would call without a 5 or AK here so I didn't necessarily expect the call but I might have looked like a bluff and his show down percent was high enought I gave it a try



This next one is just ugly. Opponent is 40/10/1.8. My turn play is bad and the river is just stupid.



Need another 1600 hands to hit 10K. I am running at 4ptbb/100 and I see at least $300 in tilt and marginal call downs, probably more if I would look a little harder as that is just the obvious big pot's I've played terribly.

Played 926 hands yesterday, down $34. Started the session getting stacked by the same opponent 3 times in a row within just a few minutes and down about $170. I know there was some tilt here and that has been my biggest weakness at 6max but I am working on it.

Opponent stats are 21/14/3 after over 700 hands with a went to show down of 31%. He was a mild loser until last night, now he's at 5ptbb/100 thanks to me



Some tilt here hands here





Bam! down ~$170 just like that.

A little payback



Semillon, I think a begger raise would have been better but I am always torn between trying to get at least one caller and making sure I win at least a small pot with my big hands. In that Hand I don't think the end result would have been any different but I do need to work on making the set draw incorrect pre flop in most cases.

Tonight I played 957 hands and lost $22. I finished the 10K hand 6max experiment. It took 14 days which is a lot of hands for me. Usually play 300 to 400 per night at full ring. Results are posted below.








I probably threw away $400 in tilt and marginal calls and am not at all happy with the results but I shouldn't complain, I made a little bit. My playing style shifted closer to 25/9 toward the end. I don't really like playing heads up and I find myself at tables with only 1 or 2 other opponents quite frequently.

I think my overall game and hand reading skills are improved but the variance and bad beats have really set me back as far as tilt control. I think I will go back to full ring for a while and see how I like that after a couple weeks of only playing 6 max.

Feel free to comment on my stats, I am sure there are some obvious leaks you short handed regulars could pick out and I would appreciate your feedback.

Make sure you add at LEAST a full teaspoon of sugar...1.5 is best, IMO. My last batch bubbles like a mofo and it's awesome...

Black Knight,

Do you use corn sugar in the primary (wert)? I use malt extract syrup and mash my specialty grains to get the sugar content (fuel) for brewing. I read that using any significant amount of sugar in primary would produce more of an acidic product like cider? Is your rasberry a heiffa or some other base? The Heiffa I made seemed a bit sour to me so I havn't tried another batch. I understand that the Belgian Heiffa has soured mash used on purpose so maybe it was supposed to taste that way.
