Thanks, all. Piers, you were right, bud. Being a father is entirely all it's cracked up to be. I'm honored to be a part of the "club."

Since the birth of my beautiful daughter:

585 hands 5/10 LHE: -$190.00

Shocking part of that:
VP$IP: 15.21%, PFR: 9.74%, WtSD: 34.65%, W$SD: 54.29%

Not to mention losing 3 stacks at $50 PLO--One full stack when a dude called my all-in on the turn when I have a set of Aces ON A GUTSHOT STRAIGHT DRAW...

Another when I flopped Broadway and potted flop and turn, and a guy called with second set to a runner-runner full house....

Ugh.

I'm down about $340 since Wednesday--not a big deal, I know, but damn it's frustrating....

Anyhoo...the baby's doing fantastic, and she's cuter every day!

Tibs... I know this is a dumb question... But if your winrate is 4 at Stars and 0 everywhere else... Why the F****CK do you ever play anywhere else??? I've sorta ran into the same situation, where I run at about 12-14PTbb/100 at Paradise and closer to 6 everywhere else... Then, I go out and chase bonuses and shit instead of just staying where I'm good...

Why not try ONLY playing Stars for the month... Just give up on the bonuses for the month, play Stars, and see what kind of totals you have at the end of the month as opposed to your normal...

crypto, party, and empire are whore-laden during bonus times (i think cryptos at the beginning of the month) -- at least imo.

what adjustments do you make to the various sites and contexts? do you review sessions and consider taking different lines versus different opponents (or opponent profiles)? anyway, maybe you can review some sessions and give us some analyses of key hands (e.g., tricky spots, opponent reads, etc.).

fwiw, i have a hard time adjusting my game to calling stations. it takes me a while to figure out that i need to ease of the gas and just go into full value-bet mode.

you're a good player -- no, a great player -- don't worry about that.

An up and down weekend, followed by a nice session at 3/6 this morning with 'enigma?' from the forum.

This wasn't as much a session as a smashing.

34 hands, 25 minutes, +$171.00

Heehee.

Especially when you have a hand like this:

PokerStars 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with , . CO posts a blind of $3.
UTG calls, 1 fold, UTG+2 calls, 3 folds, CO (poster) checks, Button raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, UTG calls, UTG+2 calls, CO folds, Button calls.

Flop: (13.33 SB) , , (4 players)
Hero bets, UTG calls, UTG+2 calls, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, UTG calls, UTG+2 calls, Button caps, Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+2 calls.

Turn: (14.66 BB) (4 players)
Hero bets, UTG calls, UTG+2 calls, Button calls.

River: (18.66 BB) (4 players)
Hero bets, UTG folds, UTG+2 calls, Button folds.

Final Pot: 20.66 BB

Results in white below:
Hero has Ks Kd (two pair, kings and threes).
UTG+2 has Jh Qs (two pair, jacks and threes).
Outcome: Hero wins 20.66 BB.

Talk about overplaying a hand...

If button is on flush draw he's playing perfectly, with two others in the middle he should be doing that, statistically it is wrong for him not to. Its nice when it doesn't hit though, that's for sure.
