Raise the flop and make the turn more like $1.80-2.00 imo, he's getting like 4.4-1 on his call there when you raise to $1.20

Yeah, I marked it for review as I knew I messed up when I watched the hand over again, don't know why I raised so small - must have got distracted or something...

As for lack of flop raise, SB was a big smelly fish who I was hoping to get some more value out of with 82o or something like that ;D

What bonuses do you get for Ironman? I'm going to go for it next month.

If you've never made IM this year before June getting bronze in June will be worth a $25 bonus in July (silver $50, gold $75, iron $100).

Iron Man

I've decided to try for the ironman. Usually I have a day when I can't play so this might be impossible.

you can miss 10 days. The lowest level is 20 days of 50 points or more per day - or 100 per day for 15 days.

I don't even wanna play anymore. Downswing won't stop. Sick of it.
Seems I must lose now everytime I go all in and ahead. It actually made me tilt, like a string of 5-7 now.

In total at 6-max 5NL I'm -17BIs, while EV is -6 Meh, I'll get over it, swings happen, right?

Thanks for the link to the Iron Man info thread, really helpful stuff! I'll aim for Bronze next month

Well, I'll just say be careful if you're not used to committing to the volume. I've experienced my biggest downswings chasing Ironman. Made Silver and Bronze late last year and cleared the Ironman year-end bonus. Then made Silver in Feb, Iron in March, Silver or Gold (don't recall) in April, and ended down -35BI's. The pressure to make the points even when I didn't want to play I believe was partially responsible for my demise -- guess I'm a long away from playing for a living, LOL. I play my best when I feel like playing, not when feeling like I have to. Since I invested so much earning Ironman those months, I'll probably play to clear the bonus but then I'm done with Ironman for awhile. I'll admit though, the rakeback was nice. I played nearly 40k hands in March, which was a huge volume for me.

 

[Pascal-lf]

I've been teaching myself to put in the volume - I've got nothing else on as uni is finished for this year so I've been putting in between 1k and 2.5k hands a day...don't think it's affecting my play, but one of my aims this month (it's 1st June over here!) is to analyse my hands from the day at the end of each night.
