PF-sorry for the threadjack, I’ll just answer TP and then back on topic-
Thanks for the vote of confidence TP (at least that is how I read it
)Last month my wife said something to the effect of “having poker pay for sitter and a nice dinner is good and all, but why not try to move up and make some real money”. I was psyched and promptly had my first losing month. This month is better and it is a good feeling to invest all my winning back into myself. It is slow going because I am a bankroll conservative, but hopefully I’ll get there soon. My goal is $100NL 6-max exclusively by January 1.
edit to add-TP at the micro levels, just about the only non-CB bluff I make is, with position, if a CB gets called, the turn checks through, and then the river comes a third suit or completes an obvious straight draw. The villian, who acts first, will often fire on the river since I checked behind on the turn, and I sometimes raise it up (1/2-3/4 pot) if I think the villian is any good and will lay down. Below every player's name I have PAHUD display %foldturn/%foldriver and only make this play against players that the numbers suggest can lay it down. Other than that, I fire a second barrel on the turn maybe 20% or so (I try to do it roughly the same % as the turn actually improving my hand) and this has moderate success.
