Cant beat 4nl at Carbon

[Seraphim]

Ok I will do that. I to dont use lucky alot but I am just trying to find ways of dealing with varience and seeing winning as good varience and not inflating my ego is helping me also I feel my pre flop game is inproving quickly so I will now try to focus more on postflop does anybody know good books to work on postflop play?

Positive varience, I guess. I hate, hate, HATE massive over-bet/shove on turn. What calls that you're ahead of?

Edit: OK, I see villain has only slightly over PSB behind, so its not terrible, but if you get in the habit of making bets like that v. deeper-stacked opponent its going to be serious error, imo.

Thanks I understand this. The whole reasoning was that he only had about 1$ behind believe me I would never even consider doing this deeper no worrys their.

As said results are not really relevant.

More important are the notes you make on villain.

• villain limp/calls 64o oop
• villain c/r oesd on flop
• villain donkshoves a "scare"-card on turn (doesn't make any sense even if he hit the set he's trying to represent)
• villian is a huge fish

I would have put him on my buddy list.

 

[Seraphim]

I took everthing but the scare card down.

Down 5 bi for july I am going to take A break and start fresh in august.

 

[Big_Rudy]

That's fine. Take a break if you feel you need it and/or are in danger of tilting-off your BR. In reality, though, you need to learn to handle negative swings, otherwise you'll be taking so many breaks you'll not get to play much poker. A 5BI downswing is really, really minor and you shouldn't be letting that effect your play/decision making. Maybe while you are on break read-up a little bit on handling tilt/negative varience. Come back fresh in a few days.
