After my big thinking session yesterday I started today with a definite goal to watch those hands where I haven’t hit the flop. I wasn’t going to stop bluffing, but I was going to make sure I controlled the pot down to minimise my mistakes. $1.70 was a watershed amount – that’s pretty much two calls preflop and a cbet. Not that my bluffs are limited to cbets, but you get the idea I hope.
The session started out with a spot of bad luck though – I had AK in the BB, and 3bet the CO who’d opened. He minraised me so I shoved. Unfortunately he had KK. Fortunately I hit one of my aces! Unfortunately he hit the last K in the deck on the river. So I started the session from -$10 
I chipped away and won back that $10 by about 30 hands later (30 hands! At the time it felt like a slow but steady increase, but 100bb in 30hands?! Perhaps I expect too much too often). I was really happy that I was avoiding the dumb mistakes I’d been making yesterday and that my regular play was showing a decent enough winrate. So I figured that the time was right to up the volume a bit and I opened a few more tables so that I was 6 tabling.
The extra tables went fine, and I was happily winning. I’ve fallen behind S1ndr0me a bit so needed to keep grinding away.
Then this happened all on the same table; First I got AA in the SB – BB and UTG raised me, I reraised, BB shoved, I called and won a $30 pot.
Next hand I folded pre.
Next hand I had AA in the CO. I reraised the MP, UTG called, MP shoved, I called and won a $50 pot.
Next hand I had KK in MP. I raised, and CO reraised me, I 4bet, he shoved, I called and won a $19 pot.
Amazing. Three premiums in a row plus action from the table. 
Current results for the bet;
sick, sick, sick. Can’t tell you how many pairs of kings n aces I had yesterday and got no action.
Looks like you’re well on your way to nailing this one. Mind you I know how a swongy day for you can be so I still have my fingers crossed that you’ll fuck up
I’ve really got to concentrate now on playing my A game (whatever that is) for the rest of the challenge. Hopefully my “Slow n Steady” strategy will prevail.
good luck buddy!!
I usually find if I have a run of premiums someone looks me up with rags and flops and unreadable two pair to stack me.
BTW, I think you may have an old RSS feed on my blog on the right as it says I’ve not updated for a month!
fixed the feed – I’ve been reading your blog using Google Reader which keeps up with things pretty well so I don’t think I missed anything
Very pleasing that nobody sucked out on me with any of them – you’d expect at least one to go awry, but guess it was my time in the sun. At the end I had a stack of 560bb which was a first for me!
