Bankroll at all-time high

Well, so far so good as far as far as analyzing my game goes and plugging the leaks goes. I wouldn’t say  my play is perfect, obviously far from it, but I feel I now know when I am beat on most occasions and have learned the discipine to lay it down and wait for a better spot.

I have now got my bankroll back to above where it was before the recent 5-6 buyin downswing and am now very close to the $400 mark. I realize this isn’t much in absolute terms, but this is all relative to the level I am playing, and I hope to take a shot very soon at $25NL.

Anyway, here are a few hands from my latest session:

I felt my play here was fine until the turn. My bet on the turn was ok, maybe it should have been a bit more, but I should have just folded to his check raise. His call on the flop is a mistake, unless of course I pay him off with implied odds, which unfortunately I did….

Pretty standard really. Maybe villain didn’t have an Ace. Maybe he did. I don’t care really, I’m not going to go broke to find out. I can find better spots at these levels to win money.

lol ! Ok, so I got a bit lucky here, but villain’s preflop range is obviously a lot wider than AA here and there is no way I am folding to an all-in by a shortstack with JJ in my hand. I was hoping he was going to berate me afterwards and then I would have told to him to get a proper buy-in and people might take his raises a bit more seriously !! I’ll take it.

I decided when I saw this flop and villain’s halfstack that I was going to get it all in with this hand no matter what. This is a good example of why you shouldn’t call a preflop raise with AJ IMO

Standard.

I was pretty pleased about how I played this hand. The villain was a TAG so I knew his preflop range had to be something like AQ, AK, JJ, QQ, KK, AA. Normally I 3-bet KK pf, but here, it folded around to me and I was last to act, so the flop was going to be heads up. If I had raised, I was pretty much turning my cards face up. I decided therefore to just call and disguise my hand a bit. It worked !
