Day 6.
Ppl at 4NL are VERY passive when it comes to river. So I didn't manage to do a single check/raise there.

1. Played not according to my hand or board, but according to my fold-happy opponent. His favourite line was call-call-fold and his WTSD of 20 kinda told me to 3barrel him all the time because he didn't show anything worse than two pairs on any of the showdowns we had:
IPoker, $0.02/$0.04 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 2 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $8.86 (221.5 bb)
Hero (BB): $4.78 (119.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J A
SB raises to $0.08, Hero raises to $0.28, SB calls $0.20

Flop: ($0.56) J Q 3 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.36, SB calls $0.36

Turn: ($1.28) 7 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.80, SB calls $0.80

River: ($2.88) 8 (2 players)
Hero bets $2, SB folds

Results:

Spoiler

$2.88 pot ($0.19 rake)
Final Board: J Q 3 7 8
SB mucked and lost (-$1.44 net)
Hero mucked J A and won $2.69 ($1.25 net)

2. And here is the hand where I should've check/folded the river. I somehow decided that I had a valuebet into a weaker 9x (I saw the guy check back his 2nd paird), but I forgot that the five got there, and there were not so many nines, and his WTSD was low. I should've just check/folded that river:

Flop: ($0.16) T 5 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, SB checks

Turn: ($0.16) Q (2 players)
Hero bets $0.12, SB calls $0.12

River: ($0.40) 5 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.20, SB calls $0.20

Results:

Spoiler

$0.80 pot ($0.05 rake)
Final Board: T 5 9 Q 5
SB showed K Q and won $0.75 ($0.35 net)
Hero mucked J 9 and lost (-$0.40 net)

3. I was trying to get a bet from busted draws and Aces (finally I had a busted-flushdraw board and a decent hand!), but his aggression on the river was around 0, so I just missed a big fat valuebet there:
IPoker, $0.02/$0.04 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 2 Players

Hero (BB): $4.25 (106.3 bb)
SB: $7.17 (179.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K 2
SB completes, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.08) 5 K K (2 players)
Hero bets $0.08, SB calls $0.08

Turn: ($0.24) A (2 players)
Hero bets $0.16, SB calls $0.16

River: ($0.56) Q (2 players)
Hero checks, SB checks

Results:

Spoiler

$0.56 pot ($0.03 rake)
Final Board: 5 K K A Q
Hero mucked K 2 and won $0.53 ($0.25 net)
SB showed 9 A and lost (-$0.28 net)

4. And this one is about those river "donkbets" (imo donk is when you bet before an aggresson had his chance to do anything). It's simple — you don't need the pot, well, I do:
IPoker, $0.02/$0.04 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 2 Players

Hero (BB): $4.72 (118 bb)
SB: $6.67 (166.8 bb)

Flop: ($0.08) 6 K A (2 players)
Hero checks, SB checks

Turn: ($0.08) Q (2 players)
Hero checks, SB checks

River: ($0.08) J (2 players)
Hero bets $0.08, SB folds

Results:

Spoiler

$0.08 pot
Final Board: 6 K A Q J
Hero mucked 2 4 and won $0.08 ($0.04 net)
SB mucked and lost (-$0.04 net)

As you can see, so far I'm struggling with my thoughts and I feel myself like an idiot most of the time.
See you tomorrow!

Day 7.
Today I did some cleaning since my mom is coming to visit so I didn't manage to find any time or energy to play, but I watched like 5 videos and made a video myself!

Hah got a tongue piercing as well. High five!
Have a lip ring for a year now and it's admittedly starting to become a bit annoying when kissing (and eating and drinking) so I see what you mean there.

I prefer subtle ones that are not flashy or visible even. Getting a couple more soon. Maybe a second tongue even... pondering on it.

As a bonus I present you a photo of my workplace:

Thanks, a friend made it for me as a b-day present last year so I'd have a constant reminder of what I want to achieve.

Day 9.
Today my mom finally came to visit, so I had to take a break from playing.

Breaks are very useful to sort out all the new info and lower the tilt.

In the next 10 to 12 days I will be semi-passive because it's summertime. So I won't be hard on myself, will play 4NL and if it goes well I might even try something higher!

Day 12.
Little by little I play with different guys, try to adjust and punish them for being so passive (common problem for ppl at 4NL).

Yesterday I went to the zoo. Animals FTW!

Spoiler


Today is a first day of the biggest Dota2 tournament — The International. Since I play Dota2 myself (not that often tho), I'm gonna follow the action.

You must know NaVi, eh? I was their support/warding bitch when they needed +1 on practice games in the original dota. Played with them 2 months before they won the 1 million prize$ from the first Dota2 International. :tongue:

I used to be in Counter-Strike far far back when there was no dota at all, so I don't know Na'Vi guys in person. I know their CEO, tho.

And of course I wish they win this Int too because the first one was totally epic.
