This one was a bit annoying.
Flop is okay, but jeez, 4 handed. Had I known this table was this weak I would have made a 6x raise preflop. I don’t mind getting in against the short stack immediately to my left, but the raise from the other player is a puzzle. Am I dead to [...]

Today I folded Aces, folded AA, preflop. And I don’t mean that I was sitting out in a tournament saw AA in the hand history, but I was at a cash table and sitting in front of the computer. And I only had 4 tables going at the time, but unfortunately the two bottom tables [...]

Haven’t been updating much, for a couple of reasons. One is continuing to not run well, though yesterday because I had a nice table with 3 bad and loose players I ended slightly up for the session. The other is losing some enthusiasm for the concept, though at the moment I’m still sticking with it.
One [...]

I would have ended up, but for this hand;

A basic TAG. I was planning to look for an opportunity to float from preflop, but I should have been flexible and with this flop, should have raised the bet and folded to a re-raise. Inflexibility on my part; and then the turn bet [...]

+ 32.60; + 10.15
Only 150 hands as I only had 45 mins to play. But some bad players and overaggressive LAGs paid off nicely.
I was running well too for once, plus I’m still inclined to up my overall preflop aggression and number of hands since I’m folding slightly less from early position. 17.6/10.1; oh, but [...]

- 18.35
Not going in the right direction. Biggest problem, lost 128 bbs to a LAG who actually had the last Ace when I had paired the Jack on the flop. Won some of it back with QQ over JJ but we both played it hesitantly with a King on the flop.
265 hands, my preflop positional [...]

+ 6.30
Another 200 hands but I gave up after a while because the players that leave inevitably get replaced by short stacks, or not at all. Either way, not much fun playing.
But with only 4 tables it’s really low pressure. I spend more attention on the football games than I intended to do. I’d keep [...]

-10.40
Not much of a start. Tables filled up with short stacks and others broke down. Biggest losses; $5 to a short stacker with my JJ, and $4.25 with KJ in a multiway limped pot on a K high flop to a $4 short stack K3 that flopped 2 pair. Only 221 hands before I gave [...]

I’m planning a cash table rampage.
The structure;

set aside $150 to start, starting at $25nl full ring
play a maximum of 4 tables at a time
if I drop the “bankroll” down to 4 buyins I have to drop down a level immediately following the session

when I get to 12 buyins I move up immediately

This is a very [...]
