1 April 2008 - Out

Out: $2611

Good day +5.5 buyins on 3200 hands, mostly all on fast 6m tables. I got in one situation today where I was really outplayed. I caught a guy in a bluff, then about 2 hands later, he bets out in exactly the same manner and I call him down with TPTK, but he was one level ahead, as he had flopped 2P and was thinking that I would be thinking that it was a bluff (which I was) so he played it like a bluff. He totally used me. I was completely on auto-pilot and I did not think about the situation properly. It was in fact my biggest loser of the day. Maybe tempered a little bit by catching him in the bluff earlier, but overall he hung me out to dry. So then I noticed I was getting floated a lot on the flop, so I had to adjust and start 2 barreling more, no problems there. Then I tried a stone bluff against that same player, who was really laggy, so I figured that if I 3 bet then bet out the flop it would work a high percentage of the time, since he usually had crap, but it didn't. Then I realized I was spending too much energy against a tricky player who was at least as likely, if not more likely, to outplay me, so I changed tables. That (changing tables) was a really good move.

It was kind of a strange day in that all my winning and losings were net less than 1 buyin. I only lost 3 pots over 40 blinds, but I won 13 over 40 blinds. I am adding a lot of notes on players, and at least once I used a specific note read (as opposed to PAHud read which I use all the time) to make a nice 3 street value betting sequence.

I am making about 1 FPP per hand, so since (knock on wood) I don't need the bonus money right now I am going to let it ride, and shoot for 25K FPPs, and I can cash that in for $285 - a $35 extra over cashing 5 x 5000 FPPs at $50 each. I am standing at 7.5K.
