Tipping along



Haven't really played a whole bunch over last two days, - between two and three hours which is pretty rubbish. Running roughly at 4BB/100 so happy enough. Made about $150 since my monster day, but I am running way above ev and not really playing very well. Was out last night and was very tired all day so couldn't concentrate and stopped. There were a couple of interesting hands and one that I think I did play well:

Villain in above hand was a 20/16 TAG reg and it's always nice to bust a reg. Hopefully he'll have second thoughts about joining my table again:)



Q4s is loose I know and generally I avoid these hands like the plague but the villain in this hand was a 32/2 calling station and in general a poor player. Suited cards on the button? -raise and isolate... I know I did smash that flop (and turn) but I have been working on isolating the weaker players at the table. To be honest I have had to work on this because 25nl isn't as soft as people think. I play most of my games around 10am to 6pm GMT, which is absolutely loaded with regs. I should really work on playing later in the day when tired Americans come home from work to donate. Long story short the only way to make money is to play as much as possible with the weaker players and just try to hold your own versus the other TAGs. Looking to stack regs is a very tricky business, and value can only really be taken from them by abusing their blinds and pushing them around in very small pots. It's the five-tabeling part time players with stats like 20/15 that are the best at doing this, and I'm sure I'm a prime target for them. I've noticed a few of the regs floating flops and 3 betting me more and more. They always seem to have the goods when I make a stand too! meh.

I've made a little over 2K now since I started playing cash. Running very slightly above 4BB/100 over 97K hands. Rakeback should make in or around 200 more at the mo, though I will wait for a $650 bonus.

Over and out, -post any comments/ questions.
