An Ape and a notebook, how long will it take?

[jgcblack]

I need to make sure the next time I have a long period of late nights or decide to go nocturnal I have to leave alot of time for 'reintergration' to a normal schedule.

Yesterday I just felt tired the whole time and today I started off the session being really unpleasant to everyone, grouchy and argumentative in general.  I might have been right about some of the points but that still doesn't mean im right to say or voice them.

I then put some music on, continued to get run over with my value hands until a pretty unfortunate aipf with  vs  of TL900.  I managed to flop the draw and insta-service him dead. Ul bro.

Other than that one pot I've run terrible vs the weaker players tonight, losing only one street when behind and getting them all in with fd's, but they've hit.
Think im playing a solid B- game but im certain im still in good shape in this game.


I'll keep plugging away at the value hands.

Have the day off tommorow by accident as I actually had today off, but forgot i did.

I need to listen to justinsayne about bet sizes vs weak players with good hands.

Sucks that every time I make it big as a semi bluff - they hero... And everytime I make it big for value, they fold.

[SuuPRlim]

how many times do you think you've said value-hands in your life?

I feel like i'd never even heard anyone say it before you lol

Its basically because part of my change from then to now is to remind myself this hand is:
- for value, we want to get called... We will win most/all of the time
- a bluff, we should have equity of some kind, but dont have to.. We should never get called by worse.
- a medium strength hand, we will need to use skill, position, and hand reading to play these spots well.


And since im trying to never have an outright total bluff ;-) and im playing tighter preflop, there are lots of hands I consider for value.

I wish I could go back and fold every time I hero called, and call every time i hero folded.

Feels good to own somebody now and again with a sick bit of play, but feels better to use the money you woulda saved every time you slide that ace high call into the muck on hookers and blow.

So I'm told.

Had some gears in tonight' session but also picked up some good hands after a while, and didn't spew too much inbetween.

I made a bet for value too big vs a fish and they hero folded AA on K108QQ

Then did the same thing with a decent candidate who flats the flop lead quickly, then when I raise as PFR, I get flattes by dinner and he now Backraises all in.  more obvious nuts??
I peel his shove of 120 total with 65 in pot and I've got a £22 already there.  Its probably bad... But with my recent hero folding, I dont think we were going to fold flopped flushes very often.

Nn, night all.

i read this about 4 times, couldnt make any sense of it, didnt see any cards, any board cards, any coherent hand history :S

JB calls with 29cc having flicked it in from bb for £19 and stubbornly refused to fold this flush

If he were a better player he'd fold

I opened    , goes 3 ways.

SB leads a Kxxddd board, flatted by the UTG/EP limper, I raise, flatted by SB, now the limper reraises All in with Axdd.

I think in retrospect, with this opponent.. He probably just has big flushes, he flats a set otf to see a gd turn card first I think.

But basically stacked off for £125 with a flush on the flop vs a limp/caller preflop.

n1 for clarification. pretty grim spot

Nah, dont think so.  In live poker, vs this particular villain... Its an easy fistpump "youre not getting action because ur too much of a nit" fold.

You would have better luck getting shit out of a rocking horse than me folding a flopped flush in live poker.

When the 'nit' checks so early he checks out of turn.. then backraises all in.. and you snap off a non picture card flush...?

you probably give money back to the game.
