Got my car back!

Finally got my car back. The other day someone tried to steal my car and made a huge hole in the passenger door, damaging the powerlock system. I took it to the dealer to fix the powerlock and then to fix the hole. I also decide to use this oportunity to fix all the other damages that it had cause I want to sell it next month to buy me a new car. The car looks like new, so thats a very good thing, it did cost me like $900 (last month rakeback sniff sniff) but I think it was worth it.

Today's poker session wasnt the best. At first I didnt hit anything and everybody seems to hit monsters against me. I was folding like a maniac (I also did at least a pretty bad laydown) and then bluffed too much on the session blowing away a lot of the money I won the last two days. At one point I was -$500 on the day, so thats something no one likes after just passing the 6kbarrier. Then I hit my first set of the day and got lucky (see below), and from then I did a lot better. Still end it in a loosing session, but slowly got the damage controled to a point where Is not a big deal and just a normal negative session. I'm planning to post different types of hands weekly, so here is the first one.

Where you just planning on using position to out play the UTG raiser after the flop or was this set mining?

I am curious cause I have really cut down on how often I just Coldcall raises, even though I have position.

I was on the blind so it wasnt cause of position, I do cold call from the blinds sometimes and bet into the raiser a lot, I was gonna bet regardless. I seem to win lots of pots that way and eventually opponents get frustrated and I hit and get paid off cause my image look like a bluffer just by doing that, also its cheaper than reraising the UTG and continuation bet, I have notice that the UTG raiser usually calls the 3bet from the blinds.

Yea, I like calling with pairs in the blinds (other hands that have goot equity too) and just stabbing at random pots. It works against the right people.

When you want to use the converter for the forums- You use the "Poker Forum" output. For your Blog, use "HTML". When you post it on your blog, make sure you insert it on the tab that says "edit HTML".

After you past it, you can go back to "compose" and edited it if you wish. You usually have to fix the spacing manually.
