£5 anyone?

£5 to anyone who dresses up in chinos and a shirt (preferrably Jack Wills), picks a fight with Tony and then runs away like a little girl. £10 if you get it on camera. Seriously, I would love to witness this.

Work > Poker

Played 1HUSNG yesterday vs a -16%ROI fish and lost in 19 hands... Made a somewhat silly bluff halfway through the match and then ended up getting it AI with K5 on a T5T board (obv he has slowplayed QQ). So, the silly bluff went like this: I raise Ad9d IP he calls. Flop Jh4h5h, pot is 120 and he leads for 60. I raise to 190. I see this donkbet a lot from aggro players on monotone flops and I think that it is often a bluff, but vs this opponent who was pretty passive I should have known better and not raised... he is never folding a heart and often has a pair. I wouldn't say that it is never the right move because I think this is +EV vs a lot of aggro opponents, but not vs this one.

I have a lot of coursework to do so probably going to play very little over the next few weeks, however I am going to do a full review of the last 100 $20 HUSNGs I have played so expect a long post in the next week or so as I go through a thorough analysis of my HU play, something which I hope will really help me improve my game.

Learning about 'soils and foundations' at the moment and my lecturer is the most boring man in the world... seriously, I would rather get slowrolled by Chris May.

Happy learning

Breaking Even

Played 12 $20 HUSNGs yesterday and ended up down 2 BI due to loosing 4
in a row at the end of my session. I think I played pretty well, the
only hand where I kicked myself was when I shoved over a turn donk
with AK on a 4643 board vs a very bluffy oponent and he snapped with
86....

In the other games, I lost 2 flips with AJs and AQo vs 77 and 55 and
also lost with KQ to Q8 on a Q74 flop so not too upset about ending
the session down, but it is frustrating as I have been breakeven over
the last 200 games.

It's 9:15am and I am in a very boring lecture on management.

Stay +EV

Blogging on the move

It seems that not writing blog posts is getting a bit boring, but
whenever I get home and decide to write a post, I either forget what I
was going to write about or just forget to write a post all together.

I have set up my blog so I can publish posts directly from my phone so
hopefully I will be able to make more regular posts from wherever I am
at the time. (Currently it's 9:30am and I am in a lecture on Polution
and Enviromental Sustainability.... Great stuff!)

Note that this has the HUGE advantage that I willbe able to write blog
posts while in klute.

Ah, something really interesting is about to happen in my lecture. I
hope!
