Things didnt go so well this morning and I managed to get stuck 35 BB. My sets and big pairs werent holding up at all so I lost a few pretty big pots which sucked. I needed a little break so I went over to my buddies place, blazed then owned him in NHL 09. I wish If I won in poker as much as I won vs my friends in NHL I would be a Millionaire.

Anyways after that I came home and edcided to get unstuck and also to paly in a donkament. I managed to grind it out and have some big hands hold for me to get into the green again on the day. Im actually still in the donkament but Im pretty short stacked now with under 10 BB. Time to shove. Heres some hands on the day which Im going to start posting to hopefully get some feedback.

Note: I play LHE...

HANDS 1
http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=569997

Pretty standard. I figured he atleast had a J too but what ever the money is going in anyways.

HAND 2
http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=570002

Just a standard battle of the blinds. He catches his lucky turn

HAND 3
http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=570006

Another standard hand. Saved myself a bet in the end. Still have to call though.

HAND 4
http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=570008

Set cracked. I reaaally wanted to call this hand down because this idiot was like 54/10 but I gave him credit. Im not sure if this is a standard call down in LHE? I got a lot of money in there but I think I made the right fold to save a bet. What ever tho it happens.

HAND 5
http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=570012

This was my biggest win on the day. Beleive it or not I am not a fan of capping because it really gives away hand strength in LHE. Instead I try to just C/R the flop 95% of the time but there was so many people that are going to be calling anyways I figured what the hell lets gamboooool and capped it. JIN on the flop too + donkey feeding me chips =

Those hands I lost are all pretty standard so thats alright. Im not really getting out of line in many of the hands I played today so thats good. I think maybe sometimes I call down with a middle pair or big ace too much but depending on the boards and the players I would say there is still alot of value in my A high hands I lost as well. I was breaking even for about 1k hands too today which sucks lol. Tables were decent as well so all in all Id say I played well but my hands just did hold up which is why I had a bit of a downer today. No problems other then that today.

Im out for a bit folks, going to chill out maybeeee a little grind before I go to bed.

UPDATE

Just busted out of donkament. Stack dwindled because of Anti's and I got it in with A6cc, buddy had AA gg me. 946/5420

Just did another session. In 1.2k hands I made 9 BB. Nice lol. Seems like Ive been break even for the last 2.5k hands or so. Variance or bad play? Right now Im saying variance because Im still way up on the month and not losing any money

ALLLLLSOOO I seem to always be way ahead today and fucking plugs are catching me on the rivers. EWE
