Without realizing it, I started playing 7$ HUs today. On 9th game I realized I'm earning kinda large quantities of money, and then figured it out. Now moving down before busto.

I have really good mindset today. Although I'm not prying into the maths yet and mostly go by the feeling, before every action, I ask myself one very important question: "Is this the correct decision in this situation based on all information that I have acquired so far?" And it truly is a great question to be pounded in every situation, because no matter what is the income of the hand you already know in advance that you made the right (or wrong) decision.


The one that I fucked up. Villains call on flop was extremely strong, but kinda took me by surprise. Didn't know what to think atm. I knew he would def want to raise any T in his range. He might also raise me with any 8. I also had no reason to put him on bluff.
His river bet speaks for itself, its a good value bet because he saw me go to showdown with crap previously (and suck out on him). Lesson learned...if it tickles its a Tickle Monster.
