Going to take a break for a while now. Actually in general just going to reduce the amount of play over the next while as i have alot of school. DC vids seem really good so i guess some of my "poker time" is definitely going to be watching videos now. For the first time in probably forever i am much more inclined towards just trying to improve my play now, since lately i've realised there is just a whole other level of poker skill that i can't approach even if i am playing my A+ game. Along with this is more of a motivation to play higher sometime in the future, since if you are a good player i think you can have a huge edge in midstakes. So plan is just to donk around on 200nl for next 3 months until school finishes, watch videos and fix leaks (seriously have to do something about that NSD line), only 2 table trying to think through all decisions, and be nicely rolled for 400nl by the end of that period. But i really need to take a chilled out attitude towards poker, coz i played way too much this month (almost 30k hands is like wtf for me).

Anyways, along with a $400 bonus or something like that ended up being a $5k/month, with which i can't complain since i'm a giant donkey. But i'm confident that can change with a bit of work and discipline :D

I enjoy a good hero call down every now and then. I had 3 hands on villain, that's obviously enough to make a read right?

CO: $25.07 (50.1 bb)
Hero (BTN): $80.28 (160.6 bb)
SB: $15.65 (31.3 bb)
BB: $29.50 (59 bb)
UTG: $182.15 (364.3 bb)
MP: $97.55 (195.1 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is BTN with 8♠ 8
UTG calls $0.50, 2 folds, Hero raises to $2.50, SB folds, BB calls $2, UTG calls $2

Flop: ($7.75) 2 Q7 (3 players)
BB bets $5, UTG folds, Hero calls $5

Turn: ($17.75) 3 (2 players)
BB bets $10, Hero calls $10

River: ($37.75) K (2 players)
BB bets $12 and is all-in, Hero calls $12

Villain shows A 10
Hero shows 8♠ 8
Hero wins $58.75 USD from main pot

You should be mentally prepared for a serious reduction in fish when you move to 2/4. 1/2 has tons and tons of them, just sit down, wait for a few minutes and you'll get action. 2/4.... [Borat]not so much[/Borat].

I ended up moving back to 6-max because of this. I didn't feel like playing regs all the time. Not that I think I'd get owned, but in terms of winrate I figured I'd do better at 6-max considering the 2/4 6-max tables have loads of fish.
At the same time, I never put in much volume at 2/4 HU, so it's hard to say.

Anyone here considered table selecting between different sites? I'm thinking of depositing on FT and UB (I have rakeback at both) and then table selecting 200NL 6max between the 3 sites. At 200NL it might not be that much more profitable, but at 400NL+ I'm thinking this is the way to go.

Oh so profitable when things go right.

The fact that i very very rarely get the money in bad, generally only in cooler situations, set over set etc etc, means that when i run bad, i breakeven, when i am runnig normal, im winning 3 out of 4 and when running hot, winning like 10 in a row. That gets me orgasmic :)
