Prose from a Poshboy

[GreekStein]

Sigh, had a pretty frustrating session. No cards rele all night and grinding out fluctuating +-£50 all night. Then called £60 river bet with A9 on T94K5 in a 3bet pot which was good for a bigish pot. Should've quit then cos was really tired. I then found a great spot to cold 4bet 67 from the small blind vs active internet kids button 3bet. Check shoved a T85 flop and didnt get there vs middle set for £350 pot sigh. Defo shouldve quit then, but stayed to tilt off £140 all in pre with 55. Not a good session. But shouldn't've been as bad as it was. Need the disicpline to walk away when I'm not in the right state to play, and usually I can but sometmes not. I quite like my move with the 67, unforunate he flopped a set ofc, and also unfortunate not to get there. But was tilted by his called with 88 pre, (£42 playing £160 total).

Not sleeping well at the moment which affected me a lot today Day off tomorrow is gonna be good. Off to bed...zzzz

Aren't you better off bet-calling (or open shipping it in)? He may fold overcard hands (AQ, KQ, AK maybe) to a cbet that he would otherwise bet and then be committed to call. He's probably not folding overpairs either way, but you would get more fold equity from high cards by c-betting IMO.

perhaps, i think he folds overcards to a check/shove, but yeh not overpairs (or sets ) yeh i dont rele like it the move pre anymore, but on the flop its fine to bet/call or check/shove.

You think both have equal merit?

Yeah obv I prefer to fold pre. I think 4-balling light is overrated and will probably cost you money in live games but in this hand I think betting flop>>>>>>checking flop.

We are repping an overpair pre, perhaps AK. The check will mean we get it in vs hands we don't have good equity against when if we bet, we can probably force many of them to fold. Likewise they can check back flop and hit their card on the turn and now we can't do anything that's not spewwww.

There's a lot in the middle, we wanna bet and take it most of the time.

So slept in till 8pm last night, only woke up cos I was late to mitch's bday night out and was being rung up telling me to get my groove on. Managed to shower, eat dinner, and be ready by half 8 which I thought was pretty impressive and still looked pretty fresh when I arrived (will post a pic or two later lol). Was bizarre getting on it hard 45minutes after waking up and being pretty heavyweight [ ] took a while to get pissed [ ]. Was a pretty sick night actually given not rele a fan of the club/music but actually got quite into it and had a lot of good banter. That's all I can say about that. Mitch definitely wasn't sick on the dancefloor. Good times.

Woke at 930am and was wide awake (fml). My degen buddy Andy was awake too and didn't take long before we were grinding perudo. Also set up a home game club on stars which I think is a sick idea. Invited whoever was on fbk at the time and had a pretty jokes sesh of 5c10c. Had a fun hand with Andy, his  vs my  on  ended up turning it into a bluff and got me off on the river sigh! Unlikely to hear the end of it. He smashed me at Perudo again and thus freerolled our pre DTD meal @ Chiqitos and made me admit that he was better than me even though I had to teach him the rules 2 weeks ago. FML. He did win the 2010 countdown series though [ ]   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COQ_o0WgI8c

Bricked the comp, snapmade a buyin at 50/1 then decided to go home and catch a few hours sleep before the proper nights grind starts at midnightish. Strange life...

I wasn't going to mention it, but seeing as you've brought it up might as well...simon deadman shoves £145 into £190 on the river in a 3bet pot on a board of   I called with   which probs biggest call I've ever made so was chuffed

Monster session last night was pretty epic. Had won £450 @ DTD 1/2 then at 3am went to gala with stato, to hoover up some drunk monies. he did plenty of hoovering, i was more hovering though, always +/-£100 which was pretty dull, but pleased not to lose concentration and get frustrated and impatient. We played on till 930am trying to stack this absolute genius old guy, "Ronnie", who had like 700 infront of him. I say genius, he just always had the nuts, and then he'd show up with a ridiculous bluff in a ridiculous spot - he was hilarious and kept doing comedy slowrolls as well. Alas, no stackage occurred and I ended up £70 down for the 7hour sesh sigh...up £375 for the day though

Won £175 this evening so a good end to a pretty awful week pokerwise. Had a lot of fun, but ran really bad. Just about winning for the month now, but way under EV

Got lots to look forward to next week, going to Amsterdam on thursday, then going home for a week, Hannah is coming to stay for some of that too. Let's do some more winning before then!
