Well, apparently I can’t commit to the whole double or bust thing. OK, that’s not true. I’ve just had two very crazy sessions in a row. Tonight I was working on a project while playing poker on the second screen. The table was an interesting mix of loose and tight players. I was lucky enough to have the most of the loose people on my right, so I was able to avoid some sticky situations, which was nice.
Well, I can’t say I was card dead this session. I had aces twice. Sadly the aces collectively won me $3.10. A/Q was my biggest money maker, though. I had raised from middle position and got 1 caller. The flop was a lovely A/Q/Q - I checked and got the guy to bet. I checked the turn and the guy bet again. My check raise on the turn was a little too big and the fish flew off the hook. Somehow I found a way to lose $10 bucks in this hand where I made a straight on the turn but was OBVIOUSLY behind when I called the guy’s $7.00 all-in raise. I knew he had 10/J and yet I called anyway… I’ll be able to lay that down when I grow up, right?
I’m going to try and play my DoB tables earlier in the evening as I think I’m playing too late and am not making good decisions based on being tired. I’m being fairly disciplined when it comes to starting hand selection based on position, which is a good thing. I’ve gotten out of the way on several hands where I would have lost large pots hand I gotten involved. Now, I need to make some adjustments to my betting sizes on the flop and turn based on what I’m trying to get my opponent to do. This is especially true when it comes to flopping big hands. I think I could have earned a lot more money on the hand where I flopped the full house. But, I made too big of a bet on the check-raise and scared the guy off.
We’ll see what tomorrow brings!
