I'll be up up and away 'cause in the end they'll judge me anyway

I'm a loser, baby...

8 months ago at 9:02 am

First negative day of the challenge, but I feel pretty good about it. LHE is a very fickle game, and I ended the day the same way I started it: with a smile on my face. I got 1500 hands in, and would play 3 of them differently. Not too bad IMO.

Learning for the day focused on WA/WB (way ahead, way behind) situations. My CR extension was still in the process of being accepted, so I didn't get to watch a vid, but I did read a couple very good threads from the 2+2 archives. I found that I've been playing too aggressively in these situations, where I should be checking and calling to neutralize his advantage and put him in the same situation I'm in. It's also something I'll be able to look for in others: aggression in WA/WB situations is a really exploitable mistake.

Another thing I really need to work on is trusting my reads. I have enough statistics and notes at my disposal to know what my opponent's ate for breakfast, and for some reason I'm still calling down nits with TPNK? This is going to change, as long as I make sure I'm not getting MUBS (monsters under the bed syndrome) in big pots.

Without further adeu, the challenge graph:

Essentially, 1k hand upswing to start, 3.5k hands of breakeven. Cmon, rungood! :)

      IMO it was a +EV day, just a -results day. The two aren't equivalent. Ty for the encouragement :)

      If it wasn't for you telling us in the blog, I wouldn't know yesterday was a -'ve day. As you say, a very nice 600ish, then break even for 3,500. Keep it going :)
