11/29: End to November

So after a terrible last session this past Saturday, I tallied up my results. Overall I ran pretty well for the month.

TP: +$400
TSP: 13hrs
BB/hr: 3.8BB/hr

Hopefully with the holiday approaching and the nights getting longer, I will be able to put in some work and have some long sessions and really push my game and though processes up to another level before Vegas in January.

----------

Online, I haven't really been playing that much at all. It goes in waves for me, sometimes I feel like I want to fire up a few tables, but I just can't stand not playing live. It is more fun and entertaining to me.

----------

On the strategy front, particularly I have found that turn aggression has been a little suspect in my game. I have turned it up quite a bit. I have gone for some raise/fold lines on the turn in spots where I felt that I could be showdown (semi-bluff) raising with the best hand and got burned for it. ROT? most likely but I like those plays sometimes.

Standard example:

Hero limps behind 2 limpers in LP w/ A6 soooted (raise pre???). 5 to the flop.

Flop: 862 (1 of my suit)

Checked to me in position, I bet w/ 2nd pair. 2 calls.

Turn: 3 (of my suit, I pick up nut frush draw).

1 Limper bets, 1 call, Hero???

Call? Raise? Fold???

I found myself in these situations at least 4 times the last 2 sessions. I kinda like to raise here w/ the NFD and there is only a 1 liner to a straight out there. Its possible we have the best hand, 1 limper in between might fold an 8 and we can showdown 2nd pair or hit our flush etc.

This might (most likely) is way off, but I just wanted to put it out there.

What do you think?

--------

I want to hit Cache Creek soon, or Cordova w/ the $200 Aces cracked that runs for 6 hrs everyday and $100 for the other 18 hours.

See you at the tables.

-Out.
