Sportingbet.
Operation is a bit tougher than I assumed.
With a hefty $1500 bankroll I decided to move from $25 to $50. 30 buyins, quadtabling.
TAG poker went bad in few moments.
My good plays:
- Flopping a boat from pocket 7's (full of tens), betting straight up each street and taking entire 120BB stack from some guy who thought he has me trapped (he probably had a AT/KT)
- Every time I flopped trips against a raise, it ended up with destack a raiser. Standard trapping: check/call the flop, CR/R the turn, push the river or reraise all-In the turn if possible.
- Laid down TPTK from AKs against AI raise on river. It could be a "stop'n'go" type of steal. I HATE river raises of my blocking bets!
Bad plays:
- Pushed JJ overpair after being re-re-raised. Of course I was suspecting that set. But I paid for that with my entire stack. Not g00t.
- Pussying out from calling a possible delayed steal attempts too frequently (don't know if it's mistake or not, I'm not too experienced with reading opps)
Psychological weekness:
- Losing patience after getting cold cards, not hitting the flops
- Frustration after taking only blinds with AA/KK, being pushed off the TPTK type hand by ballsy busted draw, seeing boat after boat taking huge pot from lame fish(but it was NOT my boat)
Some leaks to plug:
- Proper selection of raising hands in the relation of flop bets when checked. Selective aggression. Learning how to play JJ/TT with single overcard while being the aggressor. Checkfold is not here a solution, is it?
- Laying down overpairs (I thought I'm capable of doing this, but after my moronic play of JJ I start to doubt it)
Operation is still in progress, but on $25 tables. I withdrew $600 and play with $1000. 40 buyins is pretty big amount, but I still feel a bit scared on $50 tables. Probably, it's too fast for me to stomach either bigger losses AN bigger wins. Emotional handling of results may take a more time.
100 hours on $25 tables must be recorded, it's 45h for now.
Profits are $12/hour quadtabling $25 tables. I don't want to turn into weaktight. $25 but TRUE tight aggressive. THAT is specific of operation.
