Default Hope Im not jinxing myself...

Made a killing tonight playin 2/4 NL....I got cards alot, and made some tough folds which were correct alot also -- ... I honestly played some of the best poker of my life.....I think it helped that alot of the times I raised preflop and missed, callers would fold to my continuation bet -- or when they didnt theyd call down with A10 when the flop hit 10 high and I was holding higher PPs......but I was reading the board perfectly and had a tremendous read on almost every player by the end of the night. Toward the end I had the sickest table image -- because every showdown I was in I showed HUGE cards... Finished up $900....the stats from the night

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 245 hands and saw flop:
- 21 out of 30 times while in big blind (70%)
- 15 out of 31 times while in small blind (48%)
- 37 out of 184 times in other positions (20%)
- a total of 73 out of 245 (29%)
Pots won at showdown - 9 of 12 (75%)
Pots won without showdown - 39

Thats 48 out of the 73 times I was in the pot I won the hand -- 95% of the rest I was gone on the flop (most were from the blinds) Two of the showdowns I lost was a small stacks all in on the turn on the nut flush draw which I called with QQ and it hit, and a check to the river Ace high vs King high battle of the blinds....i forget what the third was, but whenthe cards were flipped, I always flipped over strong cards --- so my table image was incredible.

If I could keep this up (and keep finding the right players and getting hot cards) that would be phenominal

Don't know if anyone cares, but Im pumped and wanted to write about it

You've moved up in stakes quite a bit recently, right? How's your bankroll doing?

I really like the $2/$4 NL tables. I tend to do a lot better at them than at the $1/$2 ones for whatever reason. I think it's because there are better players and they play more like I would expect them to play. Using Game Theory at limits any lowe trhan this seems to be a complete waste of time...

I think you have a good point...even though some players were making some real strange calls last night (check calling with A10 all the way down when I raised preflop and the flop hit 10 high etc) But the moves you make work alot better bc people play the way they should and thus the bad beats are less.

After a horrible end of april for me, which put me in my first negative month since november, I had a average may until this past week. I had a decent win streak the first few days, then kinda lingered around until this past week going up 100 down 100 and back again. Then I won 2 back to back all in pots which netted a total of $400 and left a sesson up about 475. I went on to go up 260 in my next session, 300 the next, and 900 last night. I planned on leaving the tables for over an hour before I actually did, because I was just so hot, and I had such a table image.

I haven't really moved up too much in stakes -- I started at .50/1.00 and played some 1/2 as well. Now I play mostly 1/2 and some 2/4

One thing I really noticed that improved in my play (especially shown last night) Was I was laying down hands like KQ and AJ to preflop raises. Sure you can take a pot down, but with a hand like these you want to be the raiser not the caller. Calling can get you in trouble if you do hit (AQ, AK) and if you miss you are going to be faced with a continuation bet and then u have to decide to muck or make a raise and see if hes bluffing which could cost you more.... (This is specific for cash games here) I think I saved tons of money folding those two specific hands alone.

That and player notes are so useful stuff like 'raises minimum when hes bluffing otherwise raises more' Or bets small on flush draws, then big if it comes' Along with the obvious 'complete idiot will call anything take all his money' lol (or even smart player who can make a big laydown if you show a lot of strength)

Assuming I finish the rest of May even or better this is by far my biggest winning month ever. I am currently up $2287 for the month (with $1935 coming in my last 4 sessions)
