Operation Poker Reset

So far, so lame the last few days. I've been up and down on the SNG front. Doing OK on the 6-max, but haven't cashed in the 180-man (7 games, 1 ITM). I swear one of these days I'm going to take one of these damn 180-man tourneys down. But until then I'll throw the occasional 180 in amongst my main stay of the 6-max which I do pretty well in.

I haven't been playing a lot of cash this year, but it's still not going well. I think I may need to get more aggressive with my betting as my 3/4 pot bets are being called way too much. Here's one amusing hand from this morning I got to play while being snowed in. We got about 2 feet so far. It took me 4 hours just to dig out enough to get my 4-wheel drive Suburban out of the driveway! But I can't complain so I got a paid day off of work!

I guess it was a bad call, considering what they showed, but it's nice to win one from behind every once in awhile.

I wouldn't say calling AK is a mistake there dependant on reads of course. And if it is a mistake it's not because of "what they showed" but what their true ranges are.
