So goal was: “to play 8 hours of good solid poker every day of the Easter break”

Failed this Time

Worked well for the first 2 days but then hit a standard downswing and had to stop playing as much. Probably didn’t stop soon enough and made some spewy plays.

Was up 9 buy-ins but lost 6 on the afternoon of the third day, and 3 more next morning. Finished up only 1 buy-in for the weekend.
I did achieve platinum star (in fact when I achieved that was when lee turned on the doomswitch)

I think I did tilt somewhat after not being able to win a hand for 4 hours:
-after playing loose for a few orbits I did not tighten up as usual
-playing back at regulars, getting 1/3 of my stack in the folding in pissing contests.
This was mostly in 3 bet pots.
-possibly 4betting frequency too high vs regulars who can see through it, and spots where I choose to take a stand vs reshoving on my 4bets.
-some river bet/folds where I only beat a bluff, but opponent may well have been bluffing.

When I’m running bad I just have to take a break from poker, then when I come back make sure to watch some poker vids and read some articles for an hour to get my head on straight before I play.

I’m really trying to figure out bluffing and re-bluffing vs aggressive players, trying to get the frequencies theoretically correct.
Also playing close attention to pots I give up on, I have definitely been getting a lot of money in then folding too often, definitely leaking here vs fearless players.
Not quite sure how to go about doing this, but I’ll start by reviewing hands, calculating some %s and making some adjustments to my overall game plan.

Gotta get to thinking clearly and consistently.

Ok, going to try the same thing next weekend, Till then~

lol I just dropped five buy-ins in my session right as I hit platinum star too; coincidence?

I probably played bad though need to stop doing all-nighter sessions
