Day 56

Did Pretty good over the last 24 hours. Played some cash games did really good for a while then came back down to earth and made a few bucks. Then just a little bit ago I played 2 Horse sngs and a mtt holdem. I got a 1st and 3rd in Horse and lost around the bubble in the mtt. Took a pretty bad beat early in the mtt to cripple me when I was doing good. I held AJ hearts and just called flo came 1064 all hearts. Guy bet small I just called. Turn came 6 he bet small again, this time I knew I had to raise big as he might have a 6. I rasied the pot and he called. Then the river came 10..... obv. He bet small again this time I just call, he shows 108 off suit, what a clown. Anyway pretty good day overall, up $40. Gonna study for a final tom then play a little more.

Tip of the Day:

Aviod large bigger pairs in Stud h/l in early position. Lets say your first or second to act after the bring in and you have a hand like q4q or j10j, I recommend not playing these hands. With 5 more people to act depending on what their window card if they call they are probably going for low. If a few people call you and are going for low, you are almost surely only going to get half the pot at best. And alot of the time you probably wont get any unless you improve your pair. I would only play these hands if your late to act or if most of the window cards are high. Now if you have a hand like qq4 or kka or jj2 then raise for sure. First off people will think you have a low or in the case of the ace, a pair of aces. So now if you hit another nice low on 4th and bet again it looks like you have a nice low going. So if they are going for a low as well they will either have to make a call hoping you miss your low and they get one or if they dont improve they will have to fold. This way even if they seem to have hit their low they will be cautious to your "better" low and will either fold (unless they hit a straight) or play passive and check it down or call it down. With a check or call down from the opponent your probably getting half the pot anyway as you are likely to imrove you pocket pair. If they chase to the river for a low or if they had a pair like 99 or 1010 thinking you have a low you might even scoop. It is more important what the opponent thinks you have than what you actually have

Day 55

It has been a long time since my last post on here. I completely stopped playing for a while, partly because I was frustrated and the other part because I graduate this semester. Anyway since I came back playing a couple weeks ago I started out playing just Horse sngs again and wasnt doing very well. So I moved to Horse cash games 1/2$, that went ok, but I still struggled during the Holdem portion. So I decided to try stud h/l 1/2$ and its been going pretty good. The players are either really good or really bad. Ive been playing long enough now at these tables to know who the good players are and I stay away from them unless I have a monster. I like limit because Im not losing as much all at once, which helps keep me off tilt. I also found a new website that I was able to get rakeback from, which is big since Im playing cash games now. I went to the school and made a new account then registered with the new rakeback site. Ill give the link at the end of this post. Anyway, Ill post on here a little more regular since Im done with school now and looking for a job :( So until I find one ill be playing a lot and hopefully winning. Since my last post Im up 175$
