    Default Operation: Play good!!!

    Currently I am playing terrible, so I would like to make this operation and every stupid friggin play that I make I'm going to post. Feel free to make fun of me and ridicule me all you want, I hope this will be motivation to actually play good.

    I know what playing good is and I should be able to do it. I play the $50 full ring at Stars and despite playing very bad the past four days(7k hands) I'm up $373.55 but feel like I should be even or down during this span. I have also been playing ~12/8 over this span where my usual numbers are 14/10.

    I'll start now: these are from today (so far).

    In this hand the opponent is a 40something/5/3 idiot. I obv check the flop because the only hand I fear giving a free card to is a pocket pair and those only have two outs and he's going to bet alot of the time. On the river though he minraises which usually says in these games, "yo, I have AK beaten". So I have a read and don't follow it.

  3. #3
    Yeah when I get played back at/confused I tend to call down. Advice in any of the hands is def. welcome since I'm always trying to learn. Where do you think I should've been more aggressive?
  4. #4
    Played another awful session. Played 1300 hands and thought I played great with the exception of 1 hand and then went back for 900 more and played awful.

    hmm i do not know so much about poker, but i think you had a bit bad luck. Don't you think so? I think you played right.

    Given your probable image and if opp is threebetting light, i like raising his cbet all in on the AK hand.

    Played 2300 hands today and didn't play a single hand in which I asked myself "why the hell did I just play my hand like that?". So hopefully I can keep that going and my wr to...19bb/100 today, up 9 stacks.

    ISF, my image is probably very aggro in position, my attempt to steal is around 32% and I have thousands of hands with that guy. I can see why you'd say push the flop...but against somebody playing 9/4 and 24 tabling, he's likely playing his cards instead of me. He's not reraising JJ/AK there (I don't think ). I really thought just calling preflop was a pretty big mistake.

    I moved up to the $100 and only really made one bad play today. Thought it was obvious I was behind but said "fuck it he only has ~50bbs so I r arrrrr in".
