Just when you thought they'd sucked out on you one last time...

I actually did a warm up, but my machine rebooted randomly so I lost it. Basically said about toning down the calls and relentless button betting. I've noticed even when playing tight opponents, they eventually start 3 betting or calling you more if you pound too much, and in reality I'm quite happy with folds, because later I'll need folds. So I'm milking it a bit, and it's working out OK. I thought about 3 betting more often, but to be honest at lower stakes, not much getting bet into anyway, so no need right now. Apart from that I played my cards quite a lot, but had to take a lot of stabs here and there. A good bluff situation is betting into a min donk lead. They are so often folding it's not funny, and usually you waste far less than pot to try it.

I started on Pokerstars, had my reboot and decided to check if my money had cleared. It had, so I deposited onto Full Tilt and here I am again. Made a small profit against some less than fantastic players, but with some luck could have had a big night, just running over players. But as happens sometimes, you run over someone then get it in as huge favourite AK vs J8o, lose, then you are shorter than him. Next hand is AQ which turns into a coin flip, and it's good bye. Enough of those sort of hands and it can be hard to profit, but I still did.

Can't say I learned a lot, and to be honest, I'm hoping not to learn off these players. That said, I have to try to show a profit at some point here, so I better not talk too soon. My initial aim is to reach a bankroll to be able to grind the $22 HU SNG turbos, which I'll tentatively put at $600. At least that's when I'll take a shot if I get there.
