Fold, fold, BAM!!! WTF was that? I had AKs PF and now I'm down a buy in. OK, fold, fold, BAM!!! There it is again, make that 2BI's, set over set. Now what to do?
I got there in a few hands, and after a few more orbits in 2 tables seeing nothing good coming my way, I gave myself 10 minutes. I wouldn't say I was totally tilting, but I knew I couldn't play 2 hours like this, or I'd be down 5+ BI's. If I'm up (yes, completely results oriented) in 10 minutes, I'll keep playing. I got no cards to even play the first 5 minutes, then lost a pot, but did take down a medium pot to be +ve after 10 minutes. A waiting list came through, and I got 3 nice tables going. Only about an hour later, I had worked back the 2 BI's and profited 1.5 BI's. I played OK, but ran well. I honestly didn't suck out like has happened to me a lot, but I just had good hands preflop, and post flop. I was over 200BB's on all 3 tables when I left.
It's easy as anything to quit at this point, and I'm very happy to book a winning session after yesterday, and todays start. I'm pretty sure I need to get a little more aggressive postflop. I've been table selecting almost too well, and find myself against 40/12's so much that calling 2-3 streets is profitable if I hit, as I'm so far ahead of their range preflop that hitting means I'm crushing their range on most flops. However, I'm finding myself with no idea what they have and getting sucked out on a bit. I'm worried about raising people off worse, or getting called by better, but if I think it's going to be another street or two without any information, it may not be a great strategy. Plus I'm mixing up some of the player types amongst these guys, as some are tight weak postflop, others are quite bluffy.
Reasonable week, probably have a bit of a break again now for the weekend, but believe me I'll be thinking through a lot of what's gone on this week, and looking for ways to improve my tiny poker mind.
