Played a session after I got home and here's how we did...

I'm going to come across as a little bitchy or rude in some of the comments below, but I'm tired at this moment oh and also -  **** the micros!



Biggest Pots

http://wt.ag/PasQag
seems ok

http://wt.ag/PasT5Q
don't like this... but don't really know what to do... should I just call down on any runout... would be nice to get his AK/ AQ type hands to sigh it off now...

http://wt.ag/PasWyK
MIS CLICK PRE... - I was going to 'call' the call... but next thing I know I've cold called a 3bt... nice flop tho... interesting river.. interesting play from him..

http://wt.ag/PasXCD
Sickkkk turn card, justice river.

http://wt.ag/PasY9R
Someone raised and we called and won with AA's cos we're winning a lot.

http://wt.ag/Pat29r
Really don't know if this is a fold or not... most of the time people have had hands like this they've minraised... so I guess we don't fold to normal sized raises in that case???
(hand above says we're calling raises sometimes because they DO raise worse in 3b/4b pots)

http://wt.ag/Pat0OI
Duno WTF he thinks he is doing... serves him right.

http://wt.ag/Pat4Ow
Another raise and we're winning.... facepalm....

http://wt.ag/Pat69f
Co vs Btn I think this should be ok

http://wt.ag/Pat94Y
Kinda thin on the river... He shouldn't have too many diamond hands.. apparently he doesn't know how to play his hand anyways.
#wpsir

http://wt.ag/PauIj8
errr...... yeah......

http://wt.ag/PauJng
Another raise where we are ahead... interesting...

http://wt.ag/Pav1uj
meh

http://wt.ag/Pav09T
meh

http://wt.ag/Pav4X1
thought this was thin at the time, possibly a mistake in hindsight... really don't know.. don't expect this hand from him like ever... not with his sizing.

http://wt.ag/PavaOt
[X] good hand preflop
[X] hit a good hand on the flop and BET
[X] bet on the turn
[X] bet on the river and folded to a raise...
[ ] enjoyed the hand at any point

http://wt.ag/PavoVP
meh




There were a couple of sucky hands where I had the best hand on the flop/ turn and someone turned/ rivered their miracle card...
like this..
http://wt.ag/PavyMO
This has to be a form of runbad.... #watevamate



#wpsir

Ouch.. Really that bad?

Looks like a really promising session John WPWP x

http://weaktight.com/5039951

Obviously I'm going to look a lil results orientated here, but you say you hated it you must have felt intuitively that his range was majority OPs, a theme I see all the time in your hands is you say you "expect him to have AK/AQ a decent%" but more often than not they seem to have OP's, maybe you're over-estimating how often people dbl barrel with AK/AQ. Chances are you played this hand perfectly well and got a cold(ish) deck but something to think about imo.

http://weaktight.com/5039957

Interesting to hear Pleno/Callums thoughts on this cos loads of hands where they've shown up with KQ here, mmmm

http://weaktight.com/5039959

What did the guy do wrong?

http://weaktight.com/5039963

you always do this lol. The river just abso isn't a VB! You say he can't have many diamonds? all very possible, but most importantly how is he going to call of with any 1p hand with no diamond here??? Check fold vs most unless you have some very good reasons to do anything different.

You're determination to VB thinly is admirable/the right approach to these games (Good VB's are where money is made) but every session you do one that is way way too thin and it costs you a buyin every time.

http://weaktight.com/5039976

Kinda the same thing ^ whereas this defo closer I think the value of your hand doesn't REALLY change when you river a TEN, you basically stil have a bluff catcher, whereas you'll tell me he can have AK and you think he'll call (he may well) but he has loads of hands in his range that ARE BETTER than your hand. I think you're not quite grasping the relative value of your hand in these spots.


Just think what JPkelly would do and do that.

Oh Yh, and this ^ gl working out what JP would do though.

Bit random but had a really good week foodwise, C and I went shopping online and she bought some really good stuff for last weeks meals meaning we both ate much better than we have been + it cost us a lot less.

This week we just topped up from our nearest Aldi as the fresh stuff there seems fine and is much cheaper than elsewhere..

So I've just made a 2kg batch of chilli ready for meals/ lunches this week to save me buying @ work.

Couple that with getting to bed earlier, up in time to eat oats and syrup... and I'm really making some big changes to my daily routines.


Then add on top of all that, my listening and actually doing something about it in life and esp my pokers, and I'm really optimistic for the remainder of the year.


Money's not great, but that's just due to a big 'life' year and a LOT of car shite... Need to replace the Cam belt on my Green Clio as we don't know if she's 30,000 miles under her next service or 40,000 over her last.  Either way, having fixed everything else on her, now valet'd her and then having that go - would be a disaster.

Didn't play at all today and not too worried about that, making sure I spend time with C is important... and hopefully she starts some 'temp' work tomorrow, which should keep her busy until her Security Clearance comes through for FCOS.  Hopefully her process should be pretty easy since I have a high level of clearance and I'm 'squeeaky clean'. Smiley

Need to check myself on the scales at work this week but last week I was back UNDER 100kg, so I'm really hoping I can get a downward trend going to help propell my through my next two trips, as I have a short one followed by a month or so before we get to Christmas. 

I have a lot of leave this year and as a result I've managed to get off most of December and a couple of days in January which should be GGGGgreat for grinding and I'd really like to finish the year with 25nl being my main level again and a +ve 50k sample. 

With the help you guys are giving (thanks so much) and hopefully a few hours of Pleno and Justinsayne's time we should be able to find some 'get theres'.

I've definitely not achieved everything I set out to at the start of the year yet... but we are still in Sept and we have got a £500 DTD comp left.........


all in all, life could be much worse, poker is on the up, and it looks like I have a really decent network of connections, friends and family!

peace out.

I know it should be easy...

But why is it hard to just fold when they raise???

We have top two, they have a set...

We trap with an overpair.. they flop a set..

We get AA, they all fold...



Its such a joke.
