Operation Get Better

I think I played poker for one of the only times of my life. I actually went pretty indepth in hand reading, something I am trying to work on. I used kind of manipulative lines that I will most likely post either here or in the short handed forums to see if others agree. Some bad hands include getting KK < set on flop allin on flop. I "slowplayed" preflop but I seem to be getting mixed results by doing that. I also lost a huge pot allin on flop and the dude runner runners me so no harm there.

I won't say if I won this next hand but I thought it was very interesting. I am going to post it in the short handed forums but basically I had AKo vs. a tilter and he open shoves 28bb preflop, I elect to flat on the button and the BB semi nit pushes for 140bb. My initial thoughts is I have blockers and most people with KK and AA would slow down more but meh that's an assumption. But I'll let you know the results later on.

I think I played pretty well in 3bet and 4bet pots. I 4bet some dude 3betting over 20% with KQo and he insta-5bet shoved which I thought was interesting. Oh yeah, I lost when I cbet vs. a loose guy with QQ on a T high board, turned a set putting 2 hearts up and then river was another heart and I shoved for pot. He called. Bleh. There's another couple of hands of me trying new lines that I will post to see how awful the are. I think I already said that though.

Anyways, I have my first bball game tonight and I am pumped. Just finished the school week basically. Class at 4 but it's kind of like an extra session for the class so may not attend since I went to bed at 12:30 last night and fell asleep at 4. I just couldn't sleep. Woke up at 6:30 obv.

Special shoutout to anyone who has helped me in anyway. That stuff really doesn't go unnoticed and I appreciate you all very much. Because of my support, I think right now I am more determined than I have ever been or been in awhile in getting really better and understanding this game more. I'm down over a buyin today and couldn't be happier.

Edit: just realized I am down 2.5 buyins at 50nl which includes winning at 100NL in a short session so maybe not as happy I was haha.
