Besides today, I've run really good this week. The way I this week went I would basically go breakeven for a while and then I would get a rush of hands where I'd take a few stacks and then I'd just quit. It obviously feels nice to end a session up, but I think that if I want to get to real stakes any time soon I'm going to need to stop quitting when I get up a bit and just put in some more hours. I feel that I'm ready to move up to NL5 but I'm just going to stay disciplined and wait until I've hit a $100 BR. 77.7% there, that must be lucky right?
Things I need to work on:
- Identifying better players and learning how to play against them
- Putting more thought into what flops not to cbet (I basically cbet any flop that's not 4way or more)
- Putting in more time (Any advice on what a decent amount of hands per day is at 8 FR tables?)
This is an unusual hand I played today. Normally against this kind of action I would fold but him leading into me after checking to me on two streets didn't really make much sense to me. Would it have been better to check back on the turn to pot control? The villain was a complete unknown who just sat down a few hands ago. + Show Spoiler +
