Sigh

Had a break-even couple of weeks. Im running nearly 1k below all-in ev so Im not too bothered. Been coolered quite a bit, and lost 90% of flips but meh, whatever.

I posted some hands below, Iv got loadz more standard hands I could post but I guess there's no point posting them really. Just stuff like AA v KK and sets vs oesfd.

http://weaktight.com/2058756 - Seriously, how can anyone not be able to beat 1/2 with players like this playing. You dont even have to be good to beat it. Im not.

http://weaktight.com/2058754 - Here I make a big tankcall. The big over-shove had flush-draw written all over it. He's almost always checking his sets to me. Sometimes he shows up with a bigger jack (or smaller), but getting just over 1.5-1 i need 40% equity vs his range which I think I just have. Trouble is, even if Im ahead he will still have decent equity.... ill pokerstove it later.

http://weaktight.com/2058760 - I insta shove river, I find that fish tend to read that as bluffing the missed flush

http://weaktight.com/2058766 - I like my flop and turn play here. My river value bet is just horrible. Im not getting value from anything. He has Ace's up alot or other 2 pairs.

http://weaktight.com/2058762 - Sigh.

http://weaktight.com/2058764 - Bigger Sigh.

http://weaktight.com/2058759 - Can I play this differently?

Recently

Here's some hands Iv played recently.

http://weaktight.com/2037122 - My line here is pretty standard I think. Just calling his 3bet pre is fine as well. Not really sure what villain's logic is though.

http://weaktight.com/2037127 - I mix my play up a bit by not cbetting the flop, In the few orbits Id been at the table Id opened a couple of times then check-folded the flop. On the river I just milk him for a cheeky value bet.

http://weaktight.com/2037131 - I go for the check-call on the turn bcos I think once he's called the flop he has an Ace or set at least 90% of time. Betting it put me in a horrible position. Bcos Im a good player I hit my nut card the the river. I think its villain dependent on what line is best. Against a good player Id probably check to him as he'll be value betting AJ+ and a set (although the hand would have played out differently vs a good player). Im sure this guy's calling with any Ace here so I just shove.

http://weaktight.com/2037142 - Yuck, I should be folding here. At the time I thought, QJ, J10, Q10, 108 were all in his range, in which case my plays fine, but I think this villain would just check-call the flop with those hands.

http://weaktight.com/2037215 - 100% Standard

http://weaktight.com/2037223 - A typical friday night on PKR

http://weaktight.com/2039230 - At face value this looks like a complete spew, but Iv played alot with villain, and he plays at 30/18 with a 3bet % of 8.4. He'd already 3bet me when a few times when Id isolated the fish, and I really felt he'd have done it here with 99 and 88, and maybe even 66. I also think villain is calling pre with hands like 10Js, QJs, KQs, Q10s, so I think he has a ton of combo draws in his range. I go with my read but obv Im a lucky fish who cant fold an overpair

Some HH's

Iv decided Im gona start posting some hands from some of my sessions. These are from a session Iv just played.

http://weaktight.com/2031404 - This is why I love PKR

http://weaktight.com/2031416 - This guy obv doesnt like money, but got lucky and took some of mine.

http://weaktight.com/2031409 - Not sure about my flop play here, maybe I should just lead out. Villain was very aggro and barrelled alot so I go for the check-raise on the turn.

http://weaktight.com/2031441 - I assume villain found a fold with either AK or KQ. Maybe I missed value but I like my small turn raise, with his stack I thought he'd either shove or have to call river shove.

http://weaktight.com/2031545 - A nice gift

http://weaktight.com/2031304 - I think my line here is standard?

Sigh

January ended up being my my most profitable month ever. I ended the month with my biggest day ever as well. I ran at 28bb/100 over 16k hands. Some of my profit came from Full Tilt. I wanted to try out their new rush poker as it looked pretty awesome. I deposited $600 and ran it upto about 1.3k playing .50/1 in a couple of sessions.

February hasnt been as kind to me. I decided to take some shots at 2/4 over the weekend. Played a ton friday night. At one point I was stuck 1.6k but was running 1.1 under ev. I took break for an hour then came back and ran a little bit good and ended up only $300 down but still $600 under ev. Played a bit the past couple of days and Iv played so fucking bad. It'd been easier if I just walked down the street and handed out money to people. I actually cringed at some of my decisions when reviewing a session in Holdem Manager.

I also busted my FT roll in about 1.5k hands after moving up to 1/2 . It was kinda a brutal session, with some very sick hands. But the last few hundred I just tilted off. Rush poker's not the game to play if your tilted/playing bad. In total Im stuck just over 2k this month, which considering how bad Iv been playing, isnt that bad. Im not too bothered about this, it's brought me back to reality. I just need to re-focus and ill start crushing again.
