Here are two overbet bluffs i ran in recent sessions. On both hands i was facing a LAGGy regular that probably percieved me as being straightforward. I'd never overbet versus either of these players.
The question is, does the overbet succeed in getting more hands to fold than a pot sized bet?

I have not check/raise bluffed the river in 10k hands. I've only check/raised the river twice for value during this time, and both times they were small pots versus weak players.
Up about 9 buy ins in the last 9-10 days, and i think during that time i've probably ran close to expectation, though my WSD is about 2-4% lower than i would expect for my tighter style of play (currently at 48.5%).
After a review of my PT database, i noticed that i have done a lot of unintentional image creating spewing over the last 10k hands. It has costed me about 4 buy ins.
-400BB over 10,000 hands is equal to -4BB/100 to my winrate. Two of my mistakes were bad calldowns (-40BB), and three were stupid bluffs (-250BB). About a half dozen others were bet sizing mistakes, or bad flop raises/double barrels.
Another one was an AI preflop with A-Q for 100BB versus an unknown where i didn't have a lot of reads, only an intuition that the guy was tilting given the quickness of his 4bet and the fact i had just won a medium sized pot off of him. He actually had K-K, but i won the pot. Probably cost me 60BB in expectation.
I cannot believe how many dumb mistakes i made, and how much they cost me. It shows how soft 200NL actually is.
BRAG: My WSF is at 49.5% over 10k hands
