So I'm wondering how it's possible to play 1200 hands, with stats of;

19/14/3.5
WTSD: 22%
W@SD: 55%
WWsF: 35%


And yet still end up with a win rate of (10)


????



Well anyway, that's what happened.

I played well, just couldn't get a decent hand really, most of my hands were OOP in raised pots and missed flops, meh.

I made a bit back in bonus.

Yuck.

So just when I think I've turned the corner, I get kicked in the bollocks by the poker gods again. I think I may of been a touch aggressive tonight, ran at 24/19 but it seemed everyone wanted to fight with me tonight. As NV will testify, I'm not one to bitch so I'll not labour the point, and just post a graph of tonights session and one hand, that was pretty much indicative of the whole sorry evening.

Phil,

He is/was running at 45/8.

Exactly as Roy said. I have a set, HU and I really don't want to chase out any draws here. By the turn, to me, it was fairly obvious he had a king. I really don't want to chase out a big stack here.

The only thing I should of done differently is check/call the river, check folding that river is waaaaaay too weak IMO.

Just a cold deck really. It's just frustrating that on the flop he's a 90-10 dog, on the turn he's a 80-20 dog, yet he nails his miracle card when I've invested 2/3's of my stack into this pot and simply cannot get away from it. I honestly though he had hit two pair, hence the his river raise.

What can you do except reload and try to win it back?

And yes, the varience is high at the moment but give me a table full of clueless donks over nits anyday. I'll have to live with the varience.

Thanks for dropping in.

Another winning session, this one much better with 23 ptbb's over 913 hands being the result. This is despite only being dealy aces twice and winning a whopping $2.37 with them and having kings 4 times and losing $17.78 with those, ho hum.

Made $10 in bonus, good session.

I am starting to get slightly concerned, I am running at 2.06 ptbb's over 16k hands since I joined Betfred. Thats really nowhere near good enough. I'll give it another 4k hands and post some stats up, see what can be improved.

How'd it go at Gutshot?
