Still having a problem with managing aggression. Blind steals aren’t too bad. The pot is small so I’m not overly committed to it. Bigger problems arise when I have a hand (overpair, TPGK), or, I think the person is playing back at me. I don’t take the time to consider that they may actually have [...]
What to do when it feels like someone is playing back at you? It’s one thing when playing aggressively at 6 max, but it’s different when I’m at a low buyin SnG. At 6 max I expect it on occasion because I know I am playing aggressively so I expect 3 bets once in a [...]

For the first month or so of having a bankroll I [...]
Since I’ve made this blog available to the outside world I should state some things that are common general statements before I get to aspects that I want to look at. There are good and bad players at all levels of buyins. Some claim there is very little difference from one level to another. When [...]
Notes for reference: Started my new deposit and started working off the deposit bonus. Lost, lost, lost, down to a low of $78 or so. I think there’s too many bad players limp/calling making it necessary to wait for big hands, and then others I suspect overplay their marginal hands, especially on the flop, making [...]
