So havent read most of the convo, initial thought was raise more pre but you already covered why you dont etc as played river is a pretty meh fold, its too early to be bluff catching imo people just dont tend to do it and we are just crushed by his value range like he doesnt have aq there with this sizing imo but im torn between betting/checking flop, id probably just bet it as he is not folding anything on this flop such as gut shots, qx, kx, suited a2-a5 and we can just bet/fold flop, and i dont think we are going to get any value from anything else on the turn in terms of his just deciding to start bluffing given the blind levels, and its like prime time on a sunday and he will have a bunch of tables.

cool, cheers Tikay

guess 7 more posts to go!

Hey Dreenie, i dont remember the aj hand sorry, if its an interesting hand post it in and il post my thoughts behind it in reply to your pm yeah staking is an option, and is the main reason im posting here, not the only reason but the main one I cant reply to PMs as im a new account not sure how many posts/time i need before i am allowed either so will reply here if you dont mind? Can just add me on skype (Peacock172) and we can discuss it etc.

Poker wise this week for me is about going back to basics playing low-mid stakes being in a big downswing think its important to be able to drop down in stakes instead of punting in hs all the time, think although wsop is on there is still alot of good european regs stayed, hopefully these will go out for the main though so will have a very weak week next week.

I weighed myself over the weekend and was 13st which to me was quite surprising as i have had a couple weeks of eating crap, takeaways, chocolate etc but back to eating better now, got my girlfriend on my back to get back into shape. Think il weigh myself and add graphs the 1st of the month. I did a before picture of what i looked like in January when i was like 14st 10 hopefully by end of year il be in better shape!

Hey, my name is Jonny play under Peanut172 on pokerstars I have decided to write a dairy/blog?

Poker wise currently im on the biggest downswing i have ever had so thats not fun, completely bricked SCOOP which has a pretty big thing to do with it but im not too worried as I have been playing alot higher recently trying to make the transition from mid-high to hsmtts. Thats pretty much it for now will post more later.
