Session 4: Down… Up… and down…

Teh Jinx — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 20:14:41 +0000

I’m trying to be very aware of any leaks because of session length etc – but after reviewing some big hands I guess I just ran very well the first 2/3 of this session and very bad the last 1/3. Still a pretty okay result.

Currently up 11BI in 2500 hands. That’s not great, but for a novice like me, that’s pretty good.

Sessie 3: Mid-Day Two-Tabling

Teh Jinx — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 14:49:17 +0000

Have been two-tabling while working, resulting in a much lower VPIP & AF. It doesn’t look like it’s making me much more or much less profitable, but it is a matter of less variance, or so it seems. Obviously still a small sample…

Big upswing is a result of a small rush in which I was able to both catch some hands and valuetown 3 streets/overshove for value. One hand is this one right here…

Session 2: Better

Teh Jinx — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 22:49:31 +0000

I’m starting to get the hang of these 25nl games a little. Playing less OOP and trying not to play dominated hands OOP at all if possible is making life easier. Trying not to 3barrel for no reason is going out of the arsenal too.

Managed to book a solid session in which I pretty much never got totally killed even though I ran into a two-outer and a one-outer in literally ten seconds.

Trying another small session tomorrow, now: some sleep.

Pretty sick river call…. ??

Straight Flush vs. Nut Flush

Teh Jinx — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 02:42:32 +0000

This hand is just bonkers. The man makes a huge raise pre-flop, and I call with 53s out of postition. I flop the best possible flop for my hand – and decide to just call the flop to check-raise the turn – but the action goes way different…

I flop a straight flushdraw, make the absolute nuts on the river – and check to induce a bluff. My opponent bets huge, I shove – he instacalls with the second nuts.

SICK.

This was THE FIRST HAND OF THE TOURNAMENT.
