[Closed] My 2010

Hi Manuel,

Good luck in your quest, will follow your blog with interest.

Best regards from England,

Bart

thx Bart, will do my best to keep it interesting ♦

1/1/2010

nasty day on the tables to welcome the year and my first blog KK vs AA allin pre on 2 tables at the same time, QQ/AK vs AA on blinds a couple more times, flopped flushes, flopped straights, freerolls, everything !

somehow i managed to make a profit though ♠_cool:

didnt really play my A game either as u can probably assume by looking at the red line heheh trying to steal and cbet stations and isolating some other weak passive fish, that are probably not folding too much either, with less than ideal hands and even oop sometimes..
gotta get some sleep

only semi interesting hand that came up (well, not so much really):

NL50 FR AK vs tag open co, maniac sb 4b shove

some of the ugly stuff:

the disaster that started at hand ~2500 was against 2 40/20 fishes. one minraises utg then 4bet ships 200bb with aces when i had kings and i'm of course never folding them against such monkey. then kings again, iso one of the fishes, he flops top 2 on a really wet board and just check/calls flop and turn, river check/raises x2 couple of hands later same guy calls my 3bet with tens and flops quads when i had kings. calls flop, calls turn, donks river
anyways i managed to stay focused and luckily everything got back on track pretty quickly ;D

7/1/2010

i'm starting to notice i have to be more selective with my agression. today i stole a bit less than usual, did my best to adapt to every table, and the result is rather nice.

got to go now, tomorrow i'll post hands from today's and yesterday's sessions

bye !

Hey!

Very impressive blog I must say. However I would post hands in the handevalutation forums if I was you! Your betsizes looks a bit awkward to me most of the time. You need to bet for more value and protection imo!

Anyway that's just a tip ♦

Good luck on the tables,
//vonki

half the hands are links to the evaluation forums
and whats wrong with 2/3 pot and 1/2 on dry boards
but thx for writing ! ^^

anyways.....

8/1/2010

worst day ever

Keep it up!:)
