End Week 4

So I ended up with another lackluster week. Very disappointing for me, but I don't think I played badly at all. I also took a couple of days off this week, which clearly isn't going to have me making much money anyway. I'm obviously not having the level of success on Full Tilt that I was last month, but I'm going to give it another few days before checking out the bodog $200 full ring. I have money on there so it's no big deal. We'll see.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991648 Pretty ultra standard here, but I think i was cold calling a little too much in the past.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991654 Anyone opt for a different line here? I mean, I could check call, but the turn is a must bet. Lots of draws show up. What do you think?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991660 Pretty funny hand, no way I'm overcalling though.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991662 I put him on a hand like KJ from the turn. And he actually ended up having KJ. I think my line is fine here.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991666 Yay for donations from small stacks!

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991668 LOL, this guy gets there and THEN checks?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991674 Pretty ugly hand, but I dont hate my line here. I decided to fire a second barrel, and if he doesn't pick up the spade draw hes out. The river is a block value, and MOSTLY just value. Not sure what to think about this one.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991680 I mean, this is pretty much how the week has gone. I'm making some big hands, but my opponents are sitting with like $40 or something.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991684 Gotta keep firing here. And man, it's way more fun to be 2 barreling successfully.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991685 I'm showing a lot of 2 barrel small pots because basically that's where all my profit has come from this week.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991686 See what I mean?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991688 Pretty big laydown here, but after he thinks for a long time on the flop, and then puts in exactly 3x raise, I'm not feeling so hot. I really think I need to make these kinds of laydowns with this particular read and gut feeling. That's really what NL is about IMO.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991691 It's never fun when 88 is 4 betting you all in preflop... unless you have kings obv.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?991695 This hand ruined the session. I don't think I can fold the river... but maybe I can. Or maybe check fold the turn? Bah... big pots with full houses.


O I also received a tiny amount of rakeback on bodog from last month. I should be getting a couple hundred from full tilt too. This month should be much better for rakeback, which is good.


Today's Net +$59 (this is like the $50nl days heh)
Total Goal Left $17,431
Week 4 Total -$217

Hand 4 - There are too many river cards I'm not happy to see and too good of a chance villian may check behind here. I really lean towards leading out the turn. The reason being is villian's calling frequency far exceeds is checking behind frequency. It's so unnatural to even consider given the tempo of the hand but I think it's the best option. Villian's calling frequency far exceeds is checking behind frequency. A hand like A8o may check behind losing you too much value not to mention a free card to scarier hands.

The Bodog move sounds like a good one. Hope to see you there today.

I think you are absolutely right. I was a little to passive in this hand, even putting him solely on a jack. At least I folded the river! heh.
