snuck in some hands

*******************************************************

i managed to play 457 hands last nite. i felt a bit rushed at first but settled down and played decent after that.

one leak became very apparent last night as i twice paid off the nut flush w/ the 2nd nut flush. i was actually thinking about this before i sat down that i've got to be able to fold these hands. i guess im not fully used to being up against the nuts as often as it occurs in plo. i'll work on getting away from more hands like this but from a holdem perspective it's so hard to put a guy on a flopped nut flush when you're holding the King high flush.

i ended up just short of a buy-in again. i'll post some hands below. i've also been doing a lot of work with my pokertracker trying to configure it to better analyse my game. i'm working on setting up searchable hand categories like all AAxx hands or mid wrap hands. i'll post my pokertracker stats when i get to 10k hands. at that point i'll decide whether to stay at .25/.50 or to move up to .50/1.00.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1522697 - wrap vs set. pretty standard i think. 47.6% equity.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1522699 - i should probably just muck pre. i don't want to spike a 2 and even if i spike a T i'm not that happy.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1522720 - i play like trash. i just complete instead of raising since trashy KK is so hard to play post-flop out of position. i find when these loose passives limp the button they seem to get really stubborn about folding so i'd like a much stronger hand that will hit a lot of flops. decent flop so i stab and get called. on the turn i think i should either bet/fold or check/fold. i do neither and end up making a really poor pay off on the end.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1522735 - ok flop but not great. turn doesn't change much besides putting another flush draw out. i was quite catious because this player was not one to raise too much and i thought it was a very real possiblility that he had QTxx or a set that he was hoping to pair up with. on the river i only beat a bluff and against a more aggressive opponent i might call here looking to snap off a broken flush draw but i'm pretty sure this player has me crushed.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1522738 - should probably pass this even 4 handed pre-flop. hit a nice flop and get paid off for stacks w/ pretty close to air.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1522740 - pretty standard i think. im still 40% on the turn even though i miss. on the flop im 50.1% favorite! i managed to flip my chat on to see if he was berating my play and sure enough i was getting an absolute ear full.
