The truth is that last 3-4 sessions, I didn’t read a book or watch a video for warm up, so this time I said to myself that I have to read before I play. So I decided to read some pages from the book I have in progress. So, I read the player types part, and it was very interesting. Although we probably know how to play and adjust vs every player type, a lot of the times we forget extremely valuable details that can make the difference to your game and your winrate. Some times the best practice is the repetition of the things we know. Or the things we think we know. This part of the book reminded me that it’s also important to avoid having a very good player at your left. They can seriously restrict your ability to isolate the weaker players at the table. Everyone knows that you have to have the weak players at your right. But the players at your left it’s also important and the best is to have a player that it’s very tight and fold to much in general and especialy fold to steals a big amount of times.
A smal session because of pokerstars servers restart. I lost at this session because a fish called my almost pot size turn shove with flush draw. So, I can’t be unsatisfied for this. It’s part of the game. I played well and this is what matters.
After the servers restart I decided to play a session to 888poker. I manage to win one buy in, by 3betting for second time one fish at my right, this time with AA. The flop gave me a set, and top pair for fish’s A9. Turn was a 9 hitting two pair, so there was no fold for him. I stopped the session because I didn’t enjoy it at all. At the first 10 minutes I had 2 disconnections. Maybe my internet connection is not good for 888. I had mention it in the past that my wifi internet connection it’s not so good.
So what is left now? A walk to full tilt
. Some times there are benefits to have your bankroll in multiple poker sites. Unfortunately the table scan software that I use, didn't worked at the start. I had this problem in the past sometimes at full tilt. I thought for a sec to choose tables manually, but another voice in my head told me that I have to use all my weapons every time I play. So I tried to restart full tilt and tablescan turbo applications and after 3-4 restarts, tablescan turbo finally worked. Small number of hands here, I had some difficulties to find good seats and the number of tables was small. Great poker in general, one bad moment at the start of the session, which my KTs floped a flush and lost to my op TPTK + nut flush draw hitting a flush at river after flop all in.
Time for break now. I have to go to my father’s house to help him with something. The show must go on.
