I only played about 1k hands today, but I ran really good and played really well. One thing that annoyed me a bit is that I missed a river shove for about half a buy-in. Other than that.

One thing that regulars never do at these limits is overbet the pot. I post a ton of hands where I overbet vs fish and get paid off by worse, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone else at my limit do this yet. There are also a ton of great overbetting spots vs regs for value or as a bluff; and the great part is, you don't have to balance it at small stakes. Once someone gets their ABC game down really well, they have to seriously stop limiting themselves to things that were once unheard of.

Two things people have to do:
1. Take the word, "standard," out of their poker diction.
2. Stop doing things robotically. Just because you ran a bluff at one table doesn't mean you're not playing robotically. Every single time you miss a +EV spot, it directly affects your winrate. Nitty 24-tablers have marginal winrates because it's impossible to keep track of every single +EV situation. There are so many that they just grab the biggest +EV opportunities and ditch all the marginal ones that require more attention. This means a low winrate.

These two articles on LP are extremely important for people in the small-med stakes area (not microstakes)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/pokerartic...84/The_Exploitive_vs_Optimal_Approach
http://www.liquidpoker.net/pokerarticle/365045/Advanced_Fundamentals

The second article is essentially blueprints on how you can go about exploiting people.

Anyways, this post was originally intended to just post today's session, but I just ended up spewing my thoughts. Here's a fun hand and the results for today:

Fun hand:

I also won $876.55 playing NL50 HU on FTP over 7k hands.
