yucky tb :(. oh and fwiw i see no reason for not shoving river. i can pretty much promise you that you're missing value. nearly same range of hands calling but if you shove at least he can convince himself it's somehow a bluff and hero call weaker stuff. the raise to $29 is like plz call me

Playing drunk tonight after a new hire party at work (marc de bourgogne is sooooo good). 12 tabling 50nl. Should be fine. At least I can juggle with 3 sticks which is a nice test. :D

Will post graph a couple of hours from now for follow up

So according to this very non scientific experiment, when I play somewhat drunk i'm a tiny little bit too aggressive but mostly i run terrible. 3 buy-ins below EV and KK < AA. Still, not a good idea. Pretty much doubt this is +EV.

Oh, and November sucks, IMO. $300 below EV so far. Loosing money with AA, KK and QQ. Break-even overall.

ok I'm not mentally ready for 400nl. Got coolered twice for stacks and feeling myself tilting. No more 400nl for a while, I'm killing 200nl so I'll just stick it out here at least until like 15k-20k maybe.

What is it with cash games today, I lost 3 buyins at $10NL before calling it quits to enter the $15k guarantee on stars. Fortunately I finished 8th and increased my BR by 50% !!

Goal for November is to increase BR to $1000.00 and start playing $25NL.

I'm going to have to drop my hand goal to like 20k, I just dont think I can make 30k. I'm hoping to try to get in 4k hands over the next 2 days though. Crushing 2nl so far, 99% of this is at 6 max

November to dte

yeah tonight was another bad night for me.....last hand I played all in PF with KK vs 77 and they of course hit set...i really hope this is just coolerville...

the funny thing is I lose like 10-15$ the last 3 times ive played sessions, then I play an sng or an mtt after and win it back or more....so its all good.I just need to work on my game or hope I start not getting unlucky!

Well not to join the pity party but the last few days have been difficult and been the same story as the beginning of last month - tough hands, big hands losing to bigger hands.

But I'm staying positive which is good, and I'm running an experiment next week which I am excited about - I am going to play ... all day long. I'll make a post about it but I will start playing after I take my morning shower, and quit when I go to bed. Breaks only for walking the dog, bathroom, and eating. Should be fun.

always always always a good sign when someone wins 5 buyins the session after you give them help, much better than being on the receiving end of a -5 buyin omg your advice was sht you suck so much rant. Good to see it going well so far dude, good luck with the rest of the month

also KC, you really should be just c betting flop and turn on that hand since a lot of people will check behind with most hands and you lose a ton of value, also 8's would probably stack on the turn after you bet flop, but if the river came a 9+, then the 8's may very likely fold to the shove

P.S. being ill sucks so hard, 41 fpps on the month ftw :(
