2/4 and 5/10

Since my last blog I've played some sessions of 2/4 and some of 5/10. I've done pretty crappy at 5/10 and it really got me down yesterday. It really frustrates me that I'm not doing well in those games right now. I'm feeling much more positive today though, and I'll probably get back in them soon enough. It's not really bankroll that prevents me from playing them, more confidence. Once I get on a good run there though there'll hopefully be no looking back!

I've had a couple of nice sessions today at 2/4 on Stars. My roll on there sucks right now as I had zero on and I'm only allowed to deposit $20k in a week (which I've done, but I transferred $4k to someone and lost $6k!). So I thought I might grind some 2/4 or 3/6 there to try and build it up a little. I actually think there are quite a lot of pretty decent grinders playing those games. I could be wrong, but I recognise a lot of names from either 2+2 or from when I played 5/10 over there.

Here's an interesting hand. You should all make this play a lot more than you do, believe me. Maybe I'll make a video on checking as the preflop raiser or something. I actually feel like this is something I do pretty well right now!

Dodgy did you check raise that hand to give him the right to last initiative to shove over you with all draws and pocket pairs <AA?

Klink - it's PanicGrass on Stars.

Pureklas - way too technical! There are a bunch of reasons. I won't go overboard with detail now but a mixture of; allow him to bluff, balance when I have to check fold, commit him with worse, give him chance to put last bet in, and plainly because noone ever believes you when you do this.

Also a good spot to CR with a hand like AK/AQ there once you've shown you can do it with AA, a great play that I probly dont use enuf either.
