went through the hands of the last 2 days. i selected some winners and loser based on potsize. so they are a little bit of a random selection.
many were against the same guys though as i played some long cool matches were i got down a lot, sometimes as much as 6 buyins but usually managed to get back to being up or down only 1 or 2.

imo i had an edge on all my opponents but they usually weren't total fish. for example DirkyD has an awfull tableratings but he is not that bad he just works under the Peter principle (i.e he plays 1 or 2 lvl's too high)
RandomCrayon was a fish imo. but a very agressive one with a superhigh variance style. it scared me but i felt the edge was sooo large i had to stay.

DirkyD seemed to be 3betting more then the 16% i have him on in a larger sample. so i started defending more wide. i figured with the draws and the agressive match i should get it in on the turn. in retrospect most of my actions seem a little light and i lost a big pot because of it. let me know what you think about how i played this.

DirkyD gets it all-in with me with bottom2 on a 8910 rainbow board, single raised pot.

DirkyD likes his trips on the turn on a very drawy board. can't really blame him.

DirkyD overbets the river on me. at first i thought he used overbets in a very nice way but ive come to think they are weighted too much to value.

against Randomcrayon. I thought this guy was pretty bad but he got up a ton on me. i remember him as very agressive and not folding to any 3bets and 3betting 90% of hands himself. basicallyl he played everything by 3betting and by calling 3bets. it was amazing to me how i wasnt crushing him just by being a little more selective. there were some sick pots.

here i pay off because it didnt make sense he was very agressive and a K was unlikely. some missed draws obv.

kept going down.

i get down a lot to him.

i floated the flop because my A hi was most likely good and i had some outs and a LOT of implied odds.

he hero calls me down. though i have to say it was more standard behaviour then skill

and he payed for it in other spots. this one was hard to swallow though.

same guy, sick gambler.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/765372

i 3bet for value and he basically gets coolered.

to me this was a very sick match. he ran up a $1400 stack on me on one point. almost all of it my money and i was a little tilted. but i had identified what i considered weak spots in the process of losing a bunch and decided to try and play through.

this is one of the hands i regret losing so much on. he was just not agressive and loose enough to put it in here with anything but K10+ and K10 is really the only thing i beat out of a whole range of hands beating or crushing mine.
