Weekend Update

Out: $754+$133=$887

In the face of the adversity involved with my 2nd major downswing of the qwest, I have really taken some time to reexamine my game. I have looked at, in no particular order:

AK: the value or 3betting/pushing PF in aggro games vs. the value of calling in passive games
isolation bets: the type of opponent profile that will work
re-raised pots flopping TP: an almost obligatory turn check for pot-control
overpairs: board texture and pot control similar to TP
PF opening range: I have transformed from 16/12 to 20/16
Bluffing: acceptance of the fact that (mostly) in the protecting yo' stack, getting bluffed once in a while is part of the game, especially if you consider that with all my c-betting, I am probably bluffing way more than my typical opponent.
A PF raising baseline (baseline=a rough guideline to be deviated from as game conditions warrant): 3 BBs from the first 2 positions and SB, 4 BBs from the cut, btn and bb. This has the benefit of a consistent number of slider bar clicks despite the level.
A general c-betting baseline: based on .5 -> .75 of the pot in most conditions

I had some $ on iPoker which I was using during the almost daily pokerstars reboots and SnG'd it up to $133 which I have cashed out and expect about Tuesday. On Sunday AM I again moved past my $875 NL50 threshold, but since I have $ in transit, I have not moved back up yet.
