The last few sessions have been pretty bad for me and I'm to blame for it. Today I felt like a total spew monkey. I'm value betting really thin in some river spots with nut no pair type hands where it's clear the villain isn't folding with 3rd pair. Consistently.
I'm not focusing at all and I can feel the tilt rising in me. At least I'm recognizing that and quitting well before disaster strikes so I have that as a consolation. Going to do some review in Hold Em Manager and start to fix this crap now. And maybe run a little bit tonight as punishment!

What? A new post?

Well, it's been quite a while for me but feel I must post more now since I've let my fellow Bi Gro Land Lubbers at Deuces Cracked know of this pathetic little thing I call a blog.

I'm feeling a lot more comfortable in my new shoes, aka playing 6-max limit poker. I still don't get a ton of hands in but I'm working on it more every day. This will be a short post to get the juices flowing again so bear with me, dear reader. Here's a hand I got really lucky on because I feel i played the turn about as shitty as possible, imo. I had no reads at all, as this was like the 10th hand, and I was on the phone with Mrs. whodat (or should she be Mrs. Rootbeer 2000 now?). You decide.
