just had a nice 850 hand session and cracked the $2000 bank roll mark.
why u should squeeze with trash:
just a funny hand:
Too tight? i just cant see him doing this with less than trip Queens which i would have no fold equity. even though i have a combo draw im most likely behind and could be drawing dead. i like to just fold these marginal spots...

casino 3
went to the casino the other day. was rather uneventful and i ended up like $30 down. got a few big hands pf but kept flopping top set and crushed the board so i got no action. saw the most rediculous hand though...
agressive guy raises $7utg, alot of callers.
flop: 99K (two diamonds) ~$35 in pot
he c-bets like $5 two callers
Turn: 99K4 (two diamonds)
now he bets $10, both call again
River: 99K4K (3 flush)
first caller checks, agresser bets $25, old man raises to $50, first guy sighs and folds "i think my boat just got counterfeited" - he had a 9
agresser insta calls shows 44 for the lowest boat, old man shows a flush!
dam these people are terrible

Sick hand
Biggest NL50 hand yet and its a sicko. table was fairly tight and i was about to leave so i opened kinda loose to steal the blinds. hit a 2 pair and get check raised. i think if i reraise all ahnds would fold except mayb AK so i flat thinking his most likely range is bluffs. when he check shoves the turn i think he has the flush draw and is going for max fold equity. if i had AK id fold and that is what it would look like i had. but nooooo he flips TT for the turned set. fml...
dam so tilted im stopping for a while.

3 betting
i been trying to play much more agressive, notmally id fold hands like KJ AT 89s etc out of the blinds, especially if there was only a single late raiser, mainly because i see no value in these hands out of position - i either hit my KJ pair and win a small cbet or lose a big pot to AK or hit middle pair and fold the turn. Now ive just been 3betting them all, as long as the oponent looks like he could be just opening light to steal. thinking of all the times i open crap hands from the button and fold to a raise shows how often they would do it too. i have had varying success, but on the most part it seems to work well, furthermore i felt like it caused people to get pissed off with me and bluff me more postflop or call me down light. a lego poker video i watched today recommended some other video which talks alot about 3 betting so im guna watch that and see what it has to say. i think there is alot of money to be made by restealing late raises, or just plain taking the initiative in hands where a cbet in a 3bet pot gets alot of respect.
another sweet move ive never really used before is the tank call. say i flop a great hand like top set where i crush the board , id tank call the flop and it cause people to go crazy bluffing. here is an example. i tank called the flop and turn and trapped this guy:
in this one i 3bet from the blinds as i had been doing, and here the guy decides to take a stand and 4 bets me. i tank call his 4bet as i feel he is bluffing here nearly always. if he thinks im stealing light he would call with a big hand and try and get max value. by tank calling the flop he must think i have TT 99 or 88. because he turns a pair of Jacks and bets for value lol...he was a regular so its not like he was just a monkey clicking buttons.
my last hand is an example of a tough spot i sometimes found myself in. here i had no idea what the hell he had so i just folded. but i dont like not knowing whats going on so this hand annoyed me.
hopefully watching some more of these videos will be helpful. the ones i watched seemed pretty standard, and i even felt like they wernt doing some things right. the best one was watching a guy go through his hand history in a big tornament. i never realised how too tight i played in these things. he constantly stole blinds and kept his stack healthy. was pretty impressive.
Bankroll hasnt changed since yesterday....

more poker
yep, up to 11k hands at NL50. been going pretty good. not many kool hands to show really...
graph looks nice after a bit of an early mis-step. ive doubled my initial $600 deposit on the 14 November. pretty good hourly rate seeing as i havent even played that many long sessions. in total ive played 33 hours since then. although i am making no plans of moving up to NL100 any time soon, i wana spend a bit of time watching videos and trying new ideas at a limit that i feel comfortable at. even losing a $50 buyin hurts too much sometimes.
Tilt: $1260 (+$350)
Stars: $222.96
Total: $1833
Total gain since 15 Nov= $430
im thinking im ahead of luke by now. lucky we didnt count casino winnings!

not such a good night at the office. lost $400 at the casino.
Hand 1: AK utg
riase $10, 1 caller
flop: AT9, i stack off $100 to his T9
Hand 2: 22 mid
donk raise utg, i call, multi way pot
flop: 245
he bets again, i call but no one else does.
turn: 245T
he bets , i raise all in......he shows TT set over set!
Hand 3: JJ early
raise $10 new guy who just posted shoves...
call and race AK, he hits a K
hand 4: AQ button
donk from earlier raises early as he was doing alot. i 3bet his $7 to $25, calls
flop: 763 all diamonds
i c-bet quite big, he just calls and i have $30 left...
turn:7632 three to flush still
he donks $30 into like $120. i fell like i MUST be drawing dead, he has a flush,straight or at least some crap pair. so i fold with my last $30. he shows A8! was chasing the 8 high flush and donked into me with the worst draw ever. so tilted....
So that was my night. pretty sucky
casino roll: -$350
good news is online is going well. my total bankroll is $1040 + $350 + $220 = $1610
