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
