Nov24 - Finally up!!

Only played 900 hands. But was up so I thought I'd stop and savor the winnings rather than play more and lose them. Checked HEM and was up >2bi so I stopped immediately! Probably not the right thing to do but haven't been up in a while and just wanted to enjoy it.

Marked a few hands but wasn't sure if I played the below correctly:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3490605
Villain 22/6. Villain probably had TPTK on flop or turn and that's why folded. Should I have checked the turn?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3490634
Called preflop because there was one caller before me, getting 3 to 1. Flopped the boat. I think I played it right all the way to the river, then I overshoved oop. STupid move? I should have bet half pot? as an inducing bet?
Preflop aggresor 12/7, button 51/27.

Don't think there was anything to comment on this hand, but I think this is my 1st royal flush. Had the backdoor straight and flush draw. Turn came the royal flush draw, and wualah..it hit. Didn't win a massive pot though.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3490721
Biggest pot I won that I marked. Villain 34/7. Not sure if I could have put him on a set on flop? But then again we can't put anyone on sets right? Further more he was a 34/7.

Will try to play more the next few days. Already more hands in a month than I've ever done. But it's a start.

Nov20 - 2700 hands and down half bi

Something is wrong with my SB play. Maybe playing too many hands? Button VPIP is way better now. Used to be 17% now it's 30%.

Largest losing hand today:
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3477533
Villain 14/9. I think I should have folded on the river. No odds to call, he could have had that Ad the whole time.

A whole lot of set over set hands today. Of course, not in my favor.

And one that didn't make it to show down:

Villain 11/4. He might have AQ or AK. What do you think?

Please comment.

Total stats after getting HEM free from Titan.

Down 3.5 bi. I'm longing for a upswing. Don't know if that's ever going to happen. Losing big pots and winning small pots. How do I change it around?



Few of the largest pots that I lost:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3471385
Maybe I should have just called his 3bet and not 4bet. But his 3bet was so small, maybe small is fishy.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3471391
No stats on this guy. Freaking got lucky on me. Could I have found a fold there?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3471397
At the point when he 5bet i knew I was beat. Should I still call? since i'm getting 3 to 1?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3471400
Villian was a 7/3 I should have just folded.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3471407
I always raise when someone calls me in the SB. It works most of the time. I guess I was just unlucky that I hit a pair and he hit a set?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3471409
I don't know if this was a good fold or not. Villain was UTG raiser with 11/9 stats. Called my 3bet, and checkraised all in flop. Looked like a set to me. Or was that a totally bad fold ?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3471413
My AKo lost to 72s. He shoved all in PF. 52/24. I insta-called. My notes on him was he shoves with K8o.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3471419
Villain was 16/11. I had AKs oop. I don't know if he was defending his BB and called my raise and hit 2pair? or maybe he had AK too. Maybe it's a set? But i can't put ppl on sets right?! Anyway I folded. Please comment.

nov 17 report

November 17 losing hands

Few more hands that I got stacked:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3466519
quads on river beat my nut flush on river. but not sure if i could have prevented this from happening

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3466523
villian was 25/16. he basically just called his way to the river.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3466530
villian is 27/11 agg 3. I've been in several pots with him and he seldom backs down, the fishy check on the river. I had to bet. or not?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3466543
villian 31/1. Limped in with AQo. On the turn I think even if i shoved he'd still call with TPTK, and get there at the river.

Please comment. These were the 4 largest pots I lost last session.

4 buy ins down - what went wrong?
