Just a typical day

I know I haven't posted much and as is usually the case, it is because I am not playing well or at least, I am not winning. I am down way over 10 buyins this month.

I wanted to give a glimpse of how things are going these days by looking at all my big hands from last night. If you don't like hand histories, I guess you can stop here or move to the bottom where I will have a graph or two.


The summary is I started way up and moved way down and was winning at showdown at around 30% (which has been the norm this month which is actually at 28.5% for the month). Now, of course, this is NOT all bad beats; but I think you know what I mean.

So there you are and there you have it. Here is a look at the day graphically.

It is too depressing to post the monthly chart; but I will at the end of the month.
Have a nice day!!!

Hand 3 - Nice instinct
Hand 4 - I actually don't like the call on the flop. With such a small pair, it's either hit or fold. If you think you are ahead, you can probably checkraise. But floating OOP is probably -EV, even if there's a chance you are ahead because 33 is such a small pair. I'd say it would be different if it's like say 88+.

Hand #7 - since you're in position, not cbetting on this flop is an option.

Hand 15 - why such a small reraise? If you're gonna repop him, repop him potsized. Calling would be fine too but that weird $5 reraise has to go.

Hang in there man. It'll come together.
