Day 4 Results - 1000ish hands and some reflection
Posted in Poker | View Comments (2)
 

Yesterday I put in some volume at HU NL for the first time in a while. HU NL is a game which I have a love/hate relationship with. I feel it should be a games that I should crush as it emphasizes alot of my strengths as a poker player. Things like hand reading, aggression and above all game flow.

I ended up playing around 700hands of HU (not alot I know) and won around 4.5 BI's. For the first time that I remember I played really well at HU and didnt make very many major mistakes. I felt in control of all of my matches and only lost to one opponent (obv the biggest fish I played).

At the moment I am feeling really confident in my game and for the first time I feel like I am putting all of my poker knowledge in play when I sit at a table. Its very difficult to describe but I feel lost during a hand very rarely. I always know what factors I am looking for and how to balance those. Sometime I do overestimate my FE or misjudge his range slightly but those are things I have to work on. Overall Im just feeling great and really think that I am on the brink of posting some very sick results.

Just before I went to sleep last night I noticed I needed around 300 VPP's to make platinum star on pokerstars. So I fired up a couple of six max tables to grind out the necessary Vpp's. In that time I managed to win another 3.5BI's, playing and feeling great. Obviously Im running well but my play has improved dramatically in the last two weeks. Hopefully I can continue to play my best when I start to cool down.

tbh its always something that I have always been good at. I just try to build up a mental picture on how/what my opponent is thinking and how they will react to certain actions. Basically you need to figure out who the person is you are playing and how they think (easy huh?).

Its also using some of that information to infer how they will react in certain spots and how they will react to my image/perceptions etc. Alot of it also has to do with timing.

Its hard to explain but its something that has alway come easy for me.
