I decided to take my wife out for a meal on Saturday as a half valentines day type meal.. Relax people, I've got her a gift as well. Let's hope she likes NBA's greatest dunks on DVD as much as I do...
Anyways, it was a meal of her choice. There is not a whole lot of choice where I live, and she picked Denny's, Lol. Classy.
We took Jessa with us, and took a few snap shots messing around. I thought it was time I showed everyone how beautiful my baby girl is, and once again how terribly ugly I am.. Please excuse the food in my mouth..
Weekends stats:
Happy with my volume, but definitely gotta start playing more $50's. Whenever I am running below EV, I end up being pretty conservative with bankroll management. However, I wasn't really running THAT badly over the weekend.
Considering I ran fairly bad over the weekend, I am happy with the results. My play was good, and thats all I have control over!
Next week I am not sure how much I am gonna play. With Foosmania (Nebraska's state foosball tournament) coming up on Friday I am in desperate need of some practice. I am gonna aim to play 50 games by Friday.
Hand of the day:
Hero (SB): 1,498.00
BB: 1,502.00
Hero posts SB 15.00, BB posts BB 30.00
Pre Flop: (45.00) Hero has Jh Td
Hero raises to 60.00, BB raises to 150.00, Hero calls 90.00
Flop: (300.00, 2 players) Kd 6c Qh
BB bets 150.00, Hero calls 150.00
Turn: (600.00, 2 players) 3c
BB bets 300.00, Hero calls 300.00
River: (1200.00, 2 players) 2c
BB checks, Hero bets 898.00 and is all-in, fold
Hero wins 1,200.00
I have been reading a book called 'Let there be range' (still reading 'The poker mindset' also!), and it has been very interesting indeed.
One thing it talks about is how a common leak at low stakes is how people don't triple barrel enough against the right type of player.
They can 3 bet pre flop, then fire the standard C bet on the flop. Maybe fire a second barrel, but then hardly ever 3 barrel as a bluff.
I thought this description perfectly fit this particular opponent. I had seen him raise pre flop and fire c bets nearly 100%. Once he was called on the flop, he would occasionally fire second barrels, but mostly would shut down.
The turn call I guess could be seen as bad, given that he wasn't often betting the turn as a bluff. I definitely thought there was a big chance he would check/fold on the river though. Plus I had *some* equity.
The main thing I was happy with, was how I directly applied something that I learnt from my studying.
Recap next weeks goals:
Play 50 games with 25 of them at the $50 level.
Carry on reading 'The poker mindset'.
At least one foosball practice session before Fridays tournament.
Be an awesome husband (slave) on valentines day.
