First warm/up/down night

Here are the goals I set:
1. Pay close attention to flop tendancies and think about how to exploit
2. 3 bet more
3. Have some fun :)

Feeling pretty tipsy, somewhat tired, fun only I'm afraid.

Enough said. Didn't really get any emotions or massively interesting pots, so I was mainly writing reads about players I was playing, which I then put into their PS notes after finishing the HU match.

I played like god! Best ever, even tipsy. Massively reading the game, knowing exactly every player type. This is why heads up is poker, because you can't just say "Oh, 68 hands in, I don't know how this guy plays, so assume standard TAG ranges and aggression." WTF, 68 hands and no reads, where is the poker? Poker is prodding and poking your opponent, learning their behaviour, then exploiting their weaknesses. That said I ran pretty poorly, and only finished up 1 BI, felt like I deserved every match :) OK, maybe not quite, but I definitely was happy with how I played.

Reviewing the bigger hands, nothing interesting to report. About 4 missed bluffs, 2 coolers, and the rest got it in very good, getting sucked out on 3 times. No big suckouts to me, but I know that will come.

Overall, my review of this session was it was very positive towards playing real poker, and overanalysing the opponents. I want to say, opponent is playing like X, so plan Y should be winning money. Along with this should be little side plans, like if villain cbets strong, then bets turn weak, raise and find out what he has, very cheap steal opportunity, and big tell if they just fold quickly. Well, exploit that outside of the core strategy which might be about getting hands and valuing to death, or pumelling.

I didn't really get to 3 betting, but I do need this in my arsenal, so maybe tomorrow I'll get more into that. Until then, this is the poker brain switching off... I hope.
