After 468 hands this session has come to its end. The two buyins I wanted never got there. I was down most of the time and not until very late did I manage to get back on green numbers.

The fi was so annoyingly laggy he really got to me which led to this stupid play:

With a little more agressive play I might have taken this one down but I wasn't ready for the risk.

I ended up with $20 plus, there was a lot of shortstacks going allin and not once did I win AT vs A7, AK vs J8 etc.... I also thought that the laggy maniacs were everywhere although I cashed them in the end I feel it sometimes hard not to fall in the trap.

Good night!!

I'm thinking of videorecording a session, does anybody have any software recommendations? This would not be a lesson to you ...lol....rather a better way for you to teach me. Is this a good idea? How long is approriate to record?

OK, nice table I happened to sit down at. There's this guy two seats to the right who's playing every hand and rather passive when he's not stealing so I thought I'd go after him since the rest of the table are tight. So I start raising him both in and out of position, at first I'm only stealing the pots empty handed then luckily I catch a row of good hands AA, AQs, KK, AKs and I keep working him. Then another one sits down to my right and this hand occurs:

Wasn't sure if he would call for his stack so I didn't, wrong perhaps?
60 hands and I'm up 2 buyins, been catching great hands and now is the time to ask if I should call it a quit or go on not trying to do something foolish????

//KeLLoGsX

I decided to quit while I was still ahead and instead take a look at some stats which I don't really know what to make of:






How does this look?
