Quarter of a Million in 2013 Challenge - Page 3 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Had again a really costly misread today: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=647. Also again I forgot to take myself off wailists today and lost $94 as a result. But at least that won't happen anymore as I unchecked the auto accept seat option in TableNinja.

On a positive note I have been running like god again in the last couple of days (after my second losing day this year on Saturday). Had again a best day ever yesterday @ $8.6k and $5.1k today. Running so much over EV that it I am almost embarrassed. But still think I am playing well and also a lot of the "EV spots" are situations which were pretty standard anyway. Plus I am still running terrible at 1knl and running really good at 600nl which does not help.

Anyway, here is the graph:

but we also split a decent amount of time

On a serious note I am really tilted that I lost so much money this month already by misreading the board/hand (Only twice actually but that cost me over 1knl this month alone and a couple more occasions in the past). Anybody has any suggestions as to how to avoid this in the future?

that one is insane.. it looks like hes never folding with that bet size on river, was that actually a calculated bluff or just some semi tilt?

nah, pretty calculated and I like my play, think it is very EV+. thought about calling him down as an alternative but 86hh not good enough, prefer T6hh in such spots usually (see above)

I don't want you to feel hurt or something but I am not going to offer you a bj. Sorry Mike, I just don't like you in that way. Hope you understand and we can stay friends.

Had a day off today and doing this tomorrow in case anyone wants to rail: http://http://forumserver.twoplustwo...-xela-1289488/

This follows a discussion towards the end of this thread: http://http://forumserver.twoplustwo...thread-968929/.

Doing it mostly for laughs and while I think I am EV+ he has a good chance of winning too as he plays a lot of HU deep (at 200nl) while I don't play much HU or deep. Also given the small amount of hands we play pretty much anything can happen.

Did ok in the HU challenge though I don't feel I played my best and spewed in one hand. Also Tobe played different and better than I expected. Still managed to just about win

Overall a good day again and my heater goes on even though I ran under EV for a change today. Here is updated graph since going pro:
