Make that two in a row

2 02 2008

I played some today, about 700 handsish.  I made almost 4 BIs in today’s session.  So far, for the month I am up about 5.5 BIs in less than 2k hands.  Mostly, I am just having the benefits of poor players as I am not running that much higher than expectation.  The thing is, I am actually disappointed in my play.  WTF?  I know, seems ridiculous.  The thing is, I went back to playing like a nit without even noticing I was doing that.  So I gotta get out of that funk right now, before it gets to be a problem later and I struggle to get out of it. 

I had very few losing hands today, so I guess I can post the winnings ones instead.

Does anyone fold this hand here ever?  I might have looked like I was getting out of line, and I thought this guy might be capable of calling the minraise and my 3-bet with a sc that had a 6.  I was not far off, but still way way ahead when I called.  Is this a bad call, despite me winning the hand?  Villain was running 32/1/1 and was not aggressive by nature.  I did indeed throw up before calling.  Edit:  Talked this over with a player whose play I very much respect.  To paraphrase what he said, if I fold here ever, I need to basically quit playing poker forever.  This is a big paraphrase for the record.

Standard.  I cannot believe I never got raised anywhere in this hand, thought I was doubling through when I saw what he actually had.

Is this a bad river bet here?  Sizewise?  Should I bet smaller to induce a raise?  Or just try to get it all in, since it is less than the size of the pot?

You should have had a jack here, damn it!!

So I ran well, and got hit in the face with deck, which is always nice.  I am going to force myself to open up more tomorrow and see if I can’t get that back into my system.  It was coming more natural, but the last two days I have went back to my old style, gotta get out of that!
