salty

haven't played a ton this month but have had some really good sessions of late. i feel like i've played some of my best sessions of the last 5 months this week. i really owe it to going back and watching the unconventional wisdom series on deucescracked which really helped me to realize how robotic/abc/face up/straight forward/auto piloty i was playing.

it's easy to think you're running bad when you truly are just playing bad. lets face it, there is no way i was just running bad over the last 5 months. my stats are reflecting the change and i had kind of become this 23/21 wanna be tag with a pretty high aggression frequency since all i ever did was bet/bet/give up or bet/bet/bet.

lately i've been back to bobbing and weaving a bit more, giving aggro players rope, squeezing value out of hands and i think making some disciplined lay downs.

so poker is looking pretty positive except one thing is missing. im pretty sure my financial results are the shits still. i've played the bulk of my 4.7k hands over the last few nights and i now realize what running bad is actually like. i guess maybe it's just a product of game selecting well and playing with a bunch of monkeys and just like the ol party poker days, sometimes they are just going to stomp you. i have no ideas what my $ numbers are because im only going to review them monthly but im hoping it's not tooooooo brutal or else i might have to grind 100nl.

on another note i stacked off w/ QQ to AA again tonight which got me to thinking about how often i seem to run monster into monster against other tag regs when battling in steal scenarios so i went back through hem and filtered my results over the last 4 months when i get JJ/QQ/KK all-in pre-flop. im down 1.8k in those scenarios so maybe it's not all my imagination.

my gf comes back tomorrow so my poker playing will be cut down but i didn't seem to play all that much more when she was gone anyways.
