..
The sickest beat I got for the biggest pot since I started this thread.. I am jus not able to take this beat even if it's jus the variance.. The pot was 700$ on a 1/1 game and am feeling gutted..

Hero BB Qsqh 350$
Villain button covers hero..

This villain is a pretty lag bad though who opens pretty wide and barrels a lot.. He opens to 8$.. I thought of three betting him but I wanted to keep his range very wide and ended up Flatting..

Flop Jd 4s Qd.. Hero checks, Villain bets 16.. Hero check raises to 60.. And Villain raises to 145.. I ship and he snap calls..

Turn 10h
River ks

Villain turns over AQo.
I silently muck my hand but I am feeling really gutted..the win would have added a lot of thrust to my bankroll and I would have taken a shot on the 2/4 game this weekend or even used it up for coaching..

I know this is part of poker but am just not able to come to terms with this.. That's why am jus pouring my heart out here on the hope that it helps

Played four hours at game A and won 70.. Been playing tight and very few hands.. No big spots or tough hands..flipped a set on a multiway limped pot with 4s and won a decent pot.. Very few showdowns and overall happy with the way I played

Hi everyone.. Yesterday was my shot taking session at the 2/4.. It was very pleasing to book a very decent win of 500$ and establish an image at the table.. Since I will only be playing this game on a shot taking basis, establishing a solid image was a top priority...

One big hand was again flopping a set of 33 on a limped pot and basically very dew showdowns..Again I am happy with the way I played overall..

I was very busy with my day job and playing poker that I have not actually lived upto this thread by updating.. Am sorry about that and from today I will be back to posting atleast two HH after a session and atleast one strat post..

Keep crushing

Well the previous week went on a good note and my bankroll at the moment stands at 2500.

Looking forward to this week with lots of hope as my coaching starts today...

I have myself identified some leaks in my game and am sure with coaching I should be able to get better.

There is that 2/4 game on Wednesday and I have intentions of taking another shot at it provided I run like a god on the 1/1 game.. It's a long shot but I am confident of doing well..

Good luck at the tables guys...

Really hate not being able to keep up to this thread..my day job had been very hectic and I was grinding a lot so dint find time and I don't like this excuse

The good news is my coaching sessions are up and running and my shot taking on the 2/4 game had been extremely profitable as I touch a whole new high bankroll.. After taking care of all my expenses this June and having paid up for a few sessions of coaching..

Am so glad the previous month was good to me and I wanna do the same thing in a more refined and more focused manner..

Targets for this month is gonna be a lot of volume..lots of posting and lots of time off the table.. Will post a few hands after every session...

Bankroll: 4000

Keep crushing

Played for four hours and won 90$ at 1/1 game.. Played pretty well overall....

One thing keeps substantiating itself over and over again across all three games I play over here.. Discipline.. And the fact that the villains being pretty bad always pays up on big hands wants me to constantly be ABC solid...

Keep crushing folks and good luck

My coaching has started and am able to see some results and a bug change in the way I approach the game..

Gonna take a shot at the 2/4 game today

Hoping to play solid...

Had a great session yesterday..Made 2000 $...

Am not gonna post my bankroll number anymore as it sort of distracts me..will update bankroll status once it touches the 7.5k mark....

Overall feeling bf very good things are happening poker wise after I started this thread...

Since am sort of playing very tight the table is yet to adjust to me and it's actually surprising..

Have identified a few more leaks and hoping to working plugging them up effectively

Im a degen also. I dont even have kids or family counting on me. and its tough Everyone is solid at poker and nit it up and then cooler eachother. Its a sick game. everyone has an ego and thinks they have an edge. We are all fish swimming in a vast ocean full of bigger fish and oil spills and nuclear warfare. W no ante in a cash game I reccomend a tight style. The trick is executing proper mathematical calls and bets and knowing opponents . But even if you become king fish the Ace Fish will trump you and the shark will eat both of you following with the shark getting eaten then bp spills oil everyone dies no cash out and so on and so fourth best of luck sir! despite this I play and chase the same dream as you. GL!

Well the ten day trip to the casino worked really well for me.. Made close to 4000 dollars on this trip..met up with my poker friends, who are regs over there..a solid big winner, who was a good friend allowed me tonsil behind him and watch him play 5/10 for over five hours, explaining and teaching me in the process..

I come back as a improved player and glad that this hot making was successful..

After meeting up family expenses I now have a bankroll of round abouts 7k..

Getting back to the grind now.. 1/1, 1/2 and the occasional shot at the 2/4 game here..

I have come to understand a few more leaks in my game and working hard towards that..will keep posting here more than before..

Good luck eveeyone
