Been taking some shots at 25/50 and been playing lot of 10/20 as well but running pretty bad at both. Getting coolered pretty much at every limit so far this month which sucks especially when taking shots at the 5knl game. There's still a lot of time left in June though so hopefully I will be able to turn things around. The only way to get out of a hole is to stop digging. Ive also made 2 mistakes so far that I usually NEVER make so maybe the heat is starting to get to me. The kind of plays that make me pretty upset at my play and feels like Im burning money...
1st one, 6max 2knl game. utg limps in and its folded around to me in the bb with 79 o/s. I check it and we see a flop of 779. I check utg checks, turn is a 8, i check he bets like 30 into the 40 pot I call. river comes an ace, I donk 80 into the 110 pot and he raises to 480 and I ended up putting him all in for 1k more but looking back I dont like it at all. Even though I have a full house here, I dont think Im gettin called by much except TJ, 88, 99, AA, and maybe 78. And the way he overbet the river I did have the feeling that he was pretty damn strong and usually just flat.
2nd one, 5knl game fullring... folded around to blind vs blind against a guy I havent played before. Sb raises to 150 and I flat with AJ in the BB. board came down 799ss. He bets 220 into 300 and I call. turn J, he checks I bet 450 into 700ish and villain calls. river came an 8 and for some reason I didnt realize that it put up a 1 card straight on the board. I ended up betting like 1100 into 1600 and gettin checkraised having to throw my hand away. Its not a super terrible mistake to make on the river since I could be gettin some thin value from hands as the flush ended up missing and he pretty much needed a ten or QQ+ to have me beat since I never think he has a 9 but still dont know if I could value bet that thin into the guy without having any history between us.
Oh well I've still made some pretty nice laydowns but def could have saved myself a couple grand from playing my usual A game. I've gotta get ready for vegas pretty soon and probably will do some collaboration videos with the guys out there and make some interesting vids. Hope you guys are doing well, later all
