As you guys may (or may not) know, this month started off pretty rough. Variance hit, I played like shit, and my confidence went down the drain. I obviously had leaks and I had to patch them up as well as I can. My laggy play was causing me to spew money and it took this downswing to see it. I tightened up my play (basically) overnight.
This night was July 21st, 2009. I wanted to see how I've been running after this little "turning point." Well, this is where this post becomes a brag:
Sure, I've been running quite hot...but I'm playing damn well. I've been making a point of rarely calling 3bets. I've been 3betting lightly in situations that call for it. I'm keeping pots small when I hold marginal hands and I'm not being shy about going for villain's stack when I hold a monster (this results in small losing pots and big winning ones). But most importantly, I CLAMPED DOWN and stopped playing like a lagtard.

I was running 18/12. I consider 23/17 pretty damn laggy...but to each their own. With my new style, I expect to face less tough decision postflop. I also won't let myself spew as much with marginal hands and kickers.
I'm going to begin to post more hands of scenarios I feel are troublesome for me. Hopefully this improves my game as well. Additionally, I bought both Professional No Limit and Theory & Practice to learn some new theories on poker.
All is well so far...hopefully the next three days go well to end this rocky month.
