Started off running superb, getting dealt KK early against a 80BB stack and getting it in PF against 77... not so good after 784 flop, but this is poker. Took a while to get any else going, but eventually hit a nut flush on the turn against a donk who bluffed all the way with no flush, 2nd pair. Again I'm getting coolered/sucked out on in my losses, and stacking complete donks/bluffs. Final luck went to the donks though with AK all in pre flop no good against A9 in a 40BB stack, oh well.
Still booked a win with the flush being a full stack and a few other pots here and there.
Table selecting was near perfect, getting off a table that turned TAG, and ending up playing probably 200 hands on very fishy tables. Hand reading also improved, although I now feel I'm right down the bottom in this field. Verneers series is only getting better, and talked about categorizing reads into 3 bet pots, pre flop and post flop. It really simplifies it nicely, because sometimes your notes end up being confusing, but if you say he'd call PF with this, raise with that, play 2nd pair on flop like this, you can group things nicer and end up with notes that help you at different times.
Example, you are called PF by TAG on button after raising CO with TT, flop is Axx. Notes should help identify if he always 3 bets/folds ace hands, or calls with a lot of aces too, so you can put more of his range on an ace or not (you know he never has QQ/JJ). Then move to post flop notes. If he always bets when you show strength, or always raise/folds cbet, etc etc. Basically, different players give you a chance to get all this info, it's just a case of paying close attention.
Small win was good, hopefully keep momentum going forward and start hitting some nights where coolers/suckouts all miss and I come in with a big night.
