negative reinforcement

i’ve been getting in some hands at Full tilt over the past few days.  i’ve been 4-tabling, and i’d like to say something like running super-hot, but that doesn’t really fit.  it’s not like the cards are hitting me.

Bad Beats to Bad Plays Ratio

it happens.  it happens to me a lot.  so much so that i’m surprized i haven’t learned to knock it off yet.  but, i’m coming closer.
i take a bad beat, or worse yet, an acceptable beat.  i’ve taken several in the past two days.  AI on the flop with AA v KQ where he lands [...]

Value Betting vs. Charging Draws

habit alert - i just realized this, i tend to play cards, review my session, think about my big/question hands, set them up in a replayer, blog about them, hit “save”, go to bed, sleep on them, and wake up having answered my own question so i never hit “publish”.
probably 35% of what i write [...]

Fridays = no good

i have friday nights off, and used to play drums just about every friday. i think i need to go back to that because when i don’t play, i’m generally too amped to not be a miserable prick. and poker hasn’t been able to fill the void.
tonight i got in two sessions, and [...]
