Very Good Quick Session to Start the Day

Played for about an hour this morning, and won a bit over 6 BI. 3 1/2 won at 1/2 nl 6 max and 2 1/2 at 1/2 6max PLO. Played very well and focused this morning; my short sessions where I really look forward to and want to compete are definitely my best. I rarely make extravagant bluffs/floats, as well as can see when to make folds and when to make plays. I'm improving in my PLO game; folded top 2 with a blocker for a straight today (J82 two diamond board; I had J894, no diamond and no backdoor redraws). What happened was I knew when the preflop raiser cbet, he had AA or BIG draw. So i c/c him from the SB, but then MP came over the top and made a pot-sized raise to $200, and the preflop raiser called. I did not want to commit $200 with all these all ins, as someone probably has a set vs like a monster draw. Luckily I folded; I used to call there becuz I assume a lot more people on draws rather than having sets in PLO. Neway, maybe thats ez for u guys, but over time my plo game has gotten a bit too loose and overaggro, and it has costed me. Probably from playing HU plo I've loosened up my game and calling range a bit too much. When I first started on party, I only played PREMIUM hands in the full ring game and only drew to nut hands, and even folded middle set on flop to little resistance LOL. Rant over. NLHE PT Stats: 573, ran at 22/18/4 winning 32BB/100 and winning $708.

Roll- $5750
End of month goal- $8k!!??!?? (jus run well and manage roll well)
Hands *lots standard and few if any bad beats :)

Only hand I rele did get lucky on, but I wuz only behind on the turn. 3/4 the money went in on the river anyway. I hate him limp/call preflop, but he played the hand fine the rest of the way (c/rai on riv becuz I would vbet or bluff the ace- think thats a good play) http://www.pokerhand.org/?1114568

I like my line here and his as well. Think I got max value; I don't think I woulda gotten paid if I bet a big bigger on the river; it's a psychological thing becuz nobody wants to lose their FULL buy in, but they'll call of most of their money with trips in this spot. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1114573

This guy wuz a major fish; ONLY reason I called preflop, as well as having position on him. I actually thought I mite have him beat preflop with AJ lol. He's also a payoff wiz. I made a good valueraise on the riv, but it wuz obv IMO he didn't have AA,JJ, or flush due to the fact that he make a 1/3 pot bet on riv. I like my turn check becuz I had nut flush draw and top pair top kicker, so I wanted him to catch up or bluff, while I could keep the pot small since top pair top kicker with nut flush flush draw even can be in trouble to any overpair obviously in this spot.

Love my line here. His c/min ray is either hand like KT or K9, or a big draw. I don't like ridic variance, so I woulda folded a scary turn. However, he checked, so I jus bet about 2/3 pot on turn and overshoved river to maybe make him pay me off with Kx or JQ. Think I played this hand well, and left myself the possiblity of reducing variance as well as sort of trapping him to betting a hand like Kx or JQ or big draw on the turn, where I can rele stick it to him with my top and bottom.

LOL Sick thing about this sessoin is according to my PT stats I only lost $60 or under in a pot this session in nlhe lol. Most pots I lost weren't even that much! This is the only hand I sort of regret playing like this, but I can't fold this to a minraise with these sick implied odds. I thought raising wuz good to isolate and build a pot in position vs people that were probably weak neway (cuz they limped). Limp/min reraise threw me off guard, but I wuz sure it wuz QQ-AA or occasional AK. I called the flop in position, knowing that most likely he wuz going to shut down turn unless he did have the QQ-AA. He bet the turn big; looked like a bet to protect KK or AA cuz this wuz a scary turn, So I had to fold. If he had AK with A of clubs, then good play. This mite be a small hole in my game, but who doesn't call a minreraise preflop with 77 and call that flop in position? Meh, I think folding flop mite be a bit weak vs unknown.

So good session today, won $1250 overall. My blog posts r getting a bit long, sry. Jus trying to go through my whole thought process to reflect on how I used to play and c how my play has changed over the course of time. Hope to hit $8k by end of month, though slightly unrealistic goal. Yes, I can definitely win the $2250 even in two days rather than 10, but running for that amount of time with no tilt control mite be a bit tough. At least I now have a very good roll for 1/2 nl, and if I get stuck 3 BI from bad playing/bad luck I can quit ezily and fire up a quick session later with a clear head.
