i didnt have stats on BB, maybe i played little mirroring, i didnt expect cbet bluff in multiway spot with fish
and im just bluff catcher, i didnt mind this fold, since i would beat only bluffs, but now i see that maybe i should call 1 street

i feel like a superhero

chopping with T high in preflop push
not me, im not gambling

thx
but then forgot where is fold button


hands 14601
BB/100 8.73
won 63.71
also took a chance to win 5k$ in cardhunt challenge, but won 2,5$
i can be happy, because of luck at the end of challenge
i played it on NL10 zoom and i started to play like NL5
but guys there quicky indicate me it is not the way how to collect all cards and stay breakeven
they was barelling much more than at NL5, also i saw any bet as huge and better folded
i will play NL10 soon, hope before end of this challenge, so I wasnt happy when i saw that
but then i realized maybe there play guys from higher limits, who dont care about money, just doing challenge for fun and want to quickly collect all cards, so I adjusted my game and didnt battle with them much
started limping, it worked and i completed the challenge
i will add results tomorrow

^ That hand though, fish will be fish

Gl at NL10

thx guys
so i decided to improve my game on 1 table against fishes and i played zynga poker on fakebook
i had hard time there with all that bad beats, i won about 1 of 10 flips
goal was 1B and when I did it I thought that maybe unlucky will be gone, but I was false

so downswing came to pokerstars tables too
it started by my bad play and then bad beats
so I played my AA too quickly like Im playing fakebook poker, I should raise much more
