Just observed you playing this hand:

I cannot for my life figure out what you had ? 3's , A3 ?

Bah

mood: you'd think i could sleep by 6am

Just wanted to do a quick update. I've been seeing a lot more regs at the 2/4 game now so I have to make some adjustments. I think the last few sessions I've played too weak. I've keep compromising my play and making bad calls instead of good laydowns or raises. I need to 3 bet more often and stop having fancy play syndrome. I also need to 4 bet bluff more often as opponents have been adjusting to my positional play.

The last three sessions I've started down $2k, $1k, and $800 respectively. On a good note, I've finished all the sessions strong. I'm running fairly bad at the moment but I've also been too passive and have made many mistakes.

I need to refocus and play aggressively.

Another quick update

Mood: heh go suns!

Last month was decent considering the hours I played (like 40 online.) I'm too lazy to look it up but I finished up aorund $5k for October. My hours were so dismal it was completely pathetic.


Played a nice 4 hour session today. Well, it was nice when it started anyway. I was up $1300 at one point and somehow I finished the session down $300. God forbid I try to build up and have a good win.

I want to play a total of 75 hours online in November. I'd say 100 but I'm going to be in Florida for a week.

Some hands:

I like how I played these quads

I played this AQ unusually passively. I just thought something was up. I didn't see the point of pushing the turn if he was on a bluff. Somehow I managed to play it perfectly.

He tilted and sucked out hardcore

I had [Tc] this hand. I like that aggressive play. Back when I was on my big losing bender I may have only called like a scared sheep.

I sucked out here but is this hand ever foldable against an unknown?

Finally, my tilt bluff of the night. I 3 barreled with 9To and somehow I made he fold. My guess is he had a small pair and a flush draw.

Ship it?

Had an absolutely incredible session in a mix of 1/2 and 2/4, After 4 1/2 hours of mostly 4 tabling and starting down $900; I finished up $2680 for the day. I probably should have stayed even longer, but I started to lose some hands and I didn't want to get unlucky and ruin my night. I wanted to leave happy with a big win for once.

I like how I'm playing and I'm getting optimistic for the future. I wish I could cut my bills some but I don't see any way around it. I'm going to have to grind in some more hours in order to build my bankroll at these levels.

I didn't copy nearly enough hands but here are a few:

Standard hand against a guy who calls too much.

I had [4d] and bluffed two streets
http://cakepoker.com/HandHistory/?Hand= ... wcLCxMA%3d

This play I was pretty sure I was behind the original raiser as he seemed tight. However, I wanted to get it heads up against the caller short-stack, since I knew my range would be ahead of his. It was a good thought out play that worked to perfection.

Love my river call. On the turn I wasn't convinced but also had outs. On the river I couldn't figure which hand he would over bet the pot on the river with, so I called.

My Nephew just bought one of these. They're quite expensive so all I can say is *nice going*.
