*sigh*

Poker's been a bit dull of late. I've enjoyed lagging it up on iPoker, but I'm still down about $1k this month and that's just depressing. I only have 15 BI for $200NL now... may have to give it up.

I've played maybe 6k hands this month. And the most exciting thing about poker just now for me is the gauntlet

$100NL FR has been kicking my butt on iPOker (while $200NL I'm up...)

This was a total disaster today... I can't believe I did anything but fold after the flop.

Villain has rockets, one of which is a diamond.

I switched my attention to some 6-max for a bit and have continued my laggy style at bit more; it's definitely adding something new to my game to go from 24/14 to 38/29


I had a huge luckbox hand: but feel I was due.

On the other hand villains lose respect for you when you are betting everything and so:

I initially put him on a flush-draw, then quickly realised he had some sort of marginal hand like maybe a MP or even TPWK.
