A Recap

Yo! Do I know you? I am glad I don't feel pressure to write frequently on this thing cause I sure as hell don't post too often. Anyway, I have been really trying to get some hours in online and I definitely have some legit results to prove it. 3.5 weeks of cash so far and I have seen my roll rise from 165--406. It is now at a healthy 381, which is a result of donkey plays and consistent suckouts in the mini FTOPS satellites that Full Tilt runs as consistently as my donkitude right now. Cash has definitely had it's ups and downs. Pretty much what I learned so far is that 3betting regulars is a lovely tactic (with the help of Poker Copilot) and to never play poker at 3-4am. I have really gotten down playing 4 tables of 6 max and have been working in the fifth table from time to time. One example of a play I like to do sparingly, but has worked very consistently.

I raise to .30 from the button with any two cards (this scenario happens to be with K2).
a regular (whom I identify using poker copilot with his VPIP at 20 with his PFR to be close to the same thing as his VPIP) notices ive been stealing a lot and 3 bets me to 90 cents. I think for a bit, but knowing exactly what I want to do all along, I confidently raise to 3 dollars and he almost instafolds. Yeah, this is uber aggressive, but that's my style. Soon I hope to be able to organize all my hand history to break more hands down for analysis by anyone out there. I've had great experiences talking to my roommate about stategy and he always seems to convince me that I should have thought it this way, despite it sounding completely counterintuitive. Below is the update of my br. Have a good rest of the week!

Thank you for the kind works on my blog. Turning Stone??? I miss that place. (I went to undergrad in upstate NY.)

Does Al Kruk's game still run on the weekends?

Haha anytime =). Turningstone was a crazy experience. My friends and I left at like 2am and got there at 7am so I was pretty incoherent throughout the trip. I have no idea about Kruk's weekend game, though if I found out about it, my first question was if he would have had a bed I could use. hehe. Then I would take his money =). So pumped you got a TOC seat and keep it up!
