Review 07.09.09

3 situations : 1. KQ from the BB after a raise I didn't fold , result he had TT and made full-house.
2. AJ after a raise didn't fold , he had AA.
3.Q9 made a flush on turn but the lower end of a flush and didn't fold it .
So the majority of the problems where caused by not folding when I needed it !

Another big problem was that I played a 11$ Don sng !

I WILL NEVER EVER PLAY 11$ OR 6$ SNG`S ONLY IF I HAVE A BR FOR IT !!

Furthermore I need to set a STOP-LOSS limit per day !
6 BI / DAY - 12$

Back again with another challange !

First of all , I want to make a review of my last night session witch went quite bad.So I will discuss my PT stats , hands , mistakes and try to make a clear line between what I did good and what I did bad.
Second ,I want to write in every post - 3 New Things I Have Learned Today -
Meaning that in each day I want to learn something new in poker term so in this way I really learn something.
I also want to do some EV calculations and pot odds and I MUST set a STOP LOSS / DAY !!!

Psychological problem...

I just played some 700 hands and I finally undestand what is my main problem : when I lose money I start to unconsciously tilt and lose more money , so to problem is to just keep on playing and not be affected by losing some money and to demonstrate that I attched a graff :
The last part was due to a mistake I think...I`ll review it soon

After a downswing...

After 1350 hands I have a profit of 5.30$ and I want to share some info`s about my A game :

- No music
- 9 tables
- playing 56s , 67s ... T9s
- folding AQo , AJo if I`m not in position
- check / fold
- 1$ buy-in

Pfff..another good (fast) session..

Played another 150 or so hands and I`m up 4.52$ and decided to stop because I`m 50$ BR now :P.Played quite decent with some mistakes but it`s ok.


665 hands for today - 0.68$/100 - 16.99BB/100 - 1.17$/h

BR : 50$ - 50% (half the way there - 10$/2days)

Back again , 540 hands or so in my first session .. a lot of bad playing , bad calls on a board that I knew the villain made a flush (had KK) and other stupid things due to not paying attention.
So , I`m up 1.27$ and I think it will go well...

Good session...

So I've been playing poker ... 1049 hands today in 2 sessions.
God bless the small-middle pair for trips on the flop!! :D
and a small graph :

So I`m up 3 BB at 14.57 BB/100 - 1.69$/h

BR : 45.51 $

Review

After 492 hands I am standing +2.78$ but the problem is I had a max peak of 6.80 $ so I won 3 buy-ins and now I have just 1 buy-in.

I`m going to post the hands that I think I played badly :

The first one :

Button ($1.20)

SB ($0.86)

Hero (BB) ($1.94)

UTG ($4)

UTG+1 ($1.66)

MP1 ($4.42)

MP2 ($3.91)

MP3 ($0.80)

CO ($3.97)


Preflop: Hero is BB with A, 2

1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.02, 4 folds, Button calls $0.02, SB calls $0.01, Hero checks


Flop: ($0.08) A, 9, K (4 players)

SB checks, Hero bets $0.10, UTG+1 calls $0.10, 2 folds



Turn: ($0.28) 10 (2 players)

Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $0.08, Hero calls $0.08


River: ($0.44) 3 (2 players)

Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $0.44, Hero calls $0.44


Total pot: $1.32 | Rake: $0.06


Results:

Hero mucked A, 2 (one pair, Aces).

UTG+1 had K, A (two pair, Aces and Kings).

Outcome: UTG+1 won $2.52

In this play I made quite a big mistake of thinking that my A2o with just one pair and the lowest kicker could bring me the pot , should have played check\fold on the turn . Big Mistake !
