Transfer

After some pretty horrible beats and what not and losing like 3 buyins i sprung back and was 3 buyins up for the day.

Here are my stats and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I need to tighten up or not. Thanks in advance

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 1652 hands and saw flop:
- 179 out of 247 times while in big blind (72%)
- 69 out of 255 times while in small blind (27%)
- 161 out of 1150 times in other positions (14%)
- a total of 409 out of 1652 (24%)
Pots won at showdown - 51 of 92 (55%)
Pots won without showdown - 109


This was my longest session to date so I'm pretty happy about that.

Also, I hate those 180 man sngs lol because I always get to top 40 and then it's a crapshoot from there. Hope all is well with everyone else!

So here I am, got some bug idk what it is, so I don't even go out on a friday night like any other guy my age because I have SATs tomorrow morning. End of story, I played exactly 1000 hands to boost my bankroll all the way to $163.57 from $160.70. It seems that whenever I play 1k hands I usually dump a little money at about 800 untill the end by making questionable calls. At least the bankroll went up in this session though and I never once really tilted. I'm gonna post some hands here so that hopefully you can discuss them. Thanks LP!

Hand #1:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/137689

ok so I call here in position on the button because with this hand I figure I can flop big, which I sort of did. So then we have the SB minbet and then somebody minraises. Now I just do a standard raise (I think). Next, the initial minbettor calls the two reraises. So I think he is probably just on the flush draw or stupid enough for the straight draw. Next card is essentially a blank so when he checked I thought I would just take the pot down right there. But, no of course the SB minraises me. The only hand I guess I can put him on there is A7 or KJ. Finally, I just folded because with his minraise he had 82 cents left so I figured any hand he would commit himself with was better than my middle two pair. My question is: was the hand played correctly and was this a good fold? Also, should I be playing these SC’s on the button in a limped pot like this?

Hand #2:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/137690

this hand I think was pretty straightforward. I considered the other player in the hand a complete donk and I think this hand shows it. So I think I open the pot with a raise and get the one caller. Next, I do just a continuation bet which is just standard. But, the other player cold calls it. So, on the turn the straight draw is completed so I just check. I don’t know why I gave up the lead there I guess I just thought my hand was in danger. I give up the lead to much I think in this situation. But, the other player bets like 1/3 pot. I took this as them being weak which we find out to be true. I call the turn bet and wanted to reevaluate on the river. The river comes another 3 and I see no way how this card could’ve helped the other player’s cause. They essentially go all-in leaving 2 cents behind. I finally call because of the weird turn bet and then all-inning on a stupid card.
Was this call justifiable and should I have kept the lead betting the turn?

Hi all again:

Current BR: $160.70
Current Stakes: NL5

Ummmm, i think i'm gonna keep playing NL5 until 225-250ish then play NL .02/.05 blinds until about 350. I think I am being very conservative as far as BR management goes, but I think this can make me more disciplined until i can stop tilting completely. I'll be back in like 1.5k hands to give u an update

hey guys it's your old friend DonVale. I've been playing these micro limits way too long, bottom line. I have a minor score every once and a while but every time I find a way to lose a good deal of money, at least it seems like a good deal to me. I don't think it's that I do not have the skill to play at my limit of higher, it's just that whenever i grind out a few hundred I seem to tilt it away. Hopefully on like my third go around it will work out. I'd like to thank Ryanto and some kid from Colorado for giving me a new start when i needed it. I think I'm going to try and keep this blog going because I need to find something to actually write since I pretty much no work during my time in school. Furthermore, I think i'll post my BR at the end of each day and possibly a few hands that you could all help me with (That's if you are not going to charge me for your time lol). But, I wanted to thank LP for all the laughs it has given me and hopefully I can learn a little poker from you people.
