Including the time in between hands, dealer giving out chips...ect, you are probably sitting idle 90% of the time you are at a poker table. There's plenty of time to record stuff and I have a very good memory.
So far in 2018, Ive called raises with pocket pairs with the intention to set mine 93 times.
Ive hit 14 sets and made $3635 in those hands.
21 times I continued post flop even though I originally was set mining but something during the hand changed my mind. In those hands I made $1360. I won 16 of those hands. 1 of those was a big all in on the flop and I won and in the process I won $465 more than my All in EV so my adjusted profit on these 21 hands is $895 or about $43 per hand.
In the other 58 hands, I lost a total of $1020 by calling preflop and then folding the flop.
This is all very helpful information when determining if Im calling too many raises with small-mid pairs to set mine. Instead of reading a book and using some guys arbitrary formula to determine when I can profitably call a raise with a pp, I record this kind of stuff and determine it on my own. Im not guessing. I know these things for a fact.
It also keep me from getting bored which can be a big problem playng live.
tldr poker sucks.
last night i dropped 6.5 buy ins. i should have a stop loss, but i only play poker like once a month now and so i rather not cut my sessions short.
i would truly say that most of me getting stacked were coolers. King-high flush vs. Ace-high flush on a 3-card flush non-paired board; AK vs KxTd in big 3bet pot all in on a dry Kxx flop he runner runner flush; set over set; flopped straight vs bottom set all in turn he rivers boat. literally like 3-4 more of these types of hands.
other than that, i flopped a straight in a heads-up single raised pot and i c-bet and he folded, i win $25. i flopped middle set in another single raised heads-up pot, i c-bet and i win another $25.
again, tldr, poker sucks.
