It will soon be time to start playing poker again...

I stopped playing party poker after my downswing. I’ve been playing on Titan poker casually.

Looking back at the hands from my downswing one word comes to mind: setup.

So I was on a bad run, but I think I am somewhat to blame too. Its part of what I do to be able to get away from these setups and fold. I also picked a bad time to play, when the tables were full of tight regulars.

Also I think I was in station mode after playing aggressively... not give people the respect they deserved.

But also.. I’m a newbie

I kept playing when I was losing money. Consciously I was checking myself for signs of tilt and I tried to play through it. I really hate leaving a losing session, I want very strongly to win.
Its something I will let go in the future and just quit when I start getting emotional at all.
The classical music idea is a good one I think!

OK! Anyway, I’ve been running pretty well at Titan, games there are just delicious.
8 tabling NL5

I feel very confident I can beat NL5 on any given day, but NL 10 is giving me trouble. Attempted to move up twice, but setups, bad beats and then trying too hard to have a winning session knocks me back down.

Also the players there are a lot nittier than NL5. Suddenly C-betting is my biggest form of income. Still they are fairly passive, letting me hang myself on their sets. My style from NL5 just seems to be getting me stacked, (ironically with an almost exactly inverse winrate

)
I’ll need to review hands and figure out the best way to adapt my play to these stakes in a future post.

ALSO

Thanks to MR.PAV I am now I pirate of pokerstars. For getting 2nd in his competition I was awarded $25.

Not sure if I’ll get back to titan poker now :D stars is just too goood. Ground it up to $36

Anyway, its study week at the moment, so I’ll concentrate on Exams. But in a few weeks, holidays!, and I think poker will be on the top of my list.
