Today i just played 2/4$ and 3/6$, every 5/10$ Table was full of TAGs. Surprisingly I don´t find good 5/10 tables most of the time, 1 day later i coached somebody on 5/10 and he was sitting next to a lot of bad players, maybe only Monday evening is not good.
The Session was slightly minus, i lost around 100$, but a pretty unspectacular session. I played Heads up against somebody who had fish stats, but he turned out to be a TAG after 20 minutes. I was wondering why he played that solid^
Generally i try to avoid HU on these Limits because its almost unbeatable beacuse of the rake, so i would only recommend to play if a big fishs there.

It was the first time with my new Co-Coach Firsttsunami and we had some problems with the synchonisation of our voices in the player. i hope we can fix that.
We had some discussions about the question how many equity is needed for a turnbet against 1 opponent, but came to the conclusion that a lot of aspects have to be considered and that one can´t find an easy answer.
The Session was pretty good, i won arond 75BB, but only on 2/4 and 3/6 because i had no stats and did not want to play higher for that reason.
Officialy my coaching downswing is over after this 2nd Session with winnings >20BB

The Coaching today started a little bit later because i had problems with my mic. Then we had a funny session, with a semi-maniac on the table and one guy that did not know the rules. He raised 3 Pairs on the river and stuff like that.
I played this Hand against a Tag. I thought he is either check/folding with a hand that has little Outs against me or trying to check/raise with an Ace or Better, thats why i play this "Value-Check Behind".

The Coaching was very bad. I lost around 500 i think its more then i ever lost in a public coaching, around 70BB. I did not search hands because i tried to win my money back^, but there was 1 hand i remember:
I raised from the Bu with QT, BB (Tag) calls.
Flop A57
BB checks, Hero Bets, BB calls.
After this call i can put hin on a pretty exact range: a low pair or K high.
gutshots or oesds or the Ace would have c/r the flop, thus he must have a hand with little sd value that is not strong enough to c/r with.
thats why i checked the turn planing to give up the hand.
on the river he bets, i folded and he told me later in the chat that he had pocket 66. (i believe him because i kew him a little bit)
so my read was right, but i have to be carefull to not get exploitet by bluffcalls if i give up my hand that fast.

well its just ridiculous, i´m loosing > 400$ again, 5th coaching i a row with losses, > 200BB now.
positive about that session was that i turned a royal flush again a nutFH, with another K on the river i would have won 20.000$.

I was in Vegas, so several coaching couldnt take place or atuerke did it. This one was today because the Mondays Coaching was moved because of the soccer game.
This Coaching i was loosing again. I can´t actually remeber making + in this Mondays Gold Coaching. It was a pretty normal session, winning 250 or loosing is just about 2 or 3 key hands:
JJ vs QQ lowcard board
Flush vs. higher Flush on the River..
The tables were pretty bad, not to many big fish, especially on 5/10 more table selection is necessary. i should probably pay more attention to that.
few words to Vegas: It was great and a lot of fun. The City is just sick and there are so many games running 24/7.
Poker was pretty bad unfortunately, i busted out pretty early at Event #12 of the WSOP, beeing totally carddead. Nothing you can do about it..
Cashgame i played in the Bellagio most of the time, but i was running pretty bad at 15/30$ LHE, although the tables are full of bad players.
But so what, just like Schnibl0r said: Wayne Money, Skill is everything
