Seven card stud
I pretty much suck at poker. Another day reaching the $150 stop loss. Then I didn’t place in any MTTs. Down $215 on the day between Full Tilt poker and Pokerstars, $150 at 2/4 and the rest at Tilt MTTs. I am not satisfied with this, and ignoring the purpose of stop loss limits, I went back to my trusted 2/4 bad beat tables at Party. I ground out a $60 recovery over 3 hours.
I am leaking like a sieve. I can’t explain it. I know better than to limp in early position with Axs, call a raise from a TAG in late position, bet the flop out of position with air against the TAG late position raiser, call the flop raise, then check and fold to his turn bet. I graduated from poker kindergarten – not long ago, but still.
Yet that happened way too many times today. Probably six times. So then I tried a re-raise on the flop. Capped. I didn’t smoke anything, drink anything, or any other sort of thing that you might find in some of the degenerate players’ minds. It is like I just forgot how to play. I went to a 7 Card Stud for some tranquil time. No good. Up 5 bucks at a 1/2 table, but the pace was so slow.
Ah I have been craving action. I have been playing like an idiot, no patience. Lets see, checking Poker Tracker for today. . . VP$IP 18.4, PFR 10, flop AG 2.43, turn 1.36, river 1.06. 863 hands. Went to SD 38%, Won$ at showdown 37%. VPIP of 18.4 is higher than I have been lately by about 2%. PFR is higher by about 2%. Aggression is down. Dammit, I am Mr. Action junkie that forgot how to fold post flop. Only folded to a river bet once. In 863 hands.
Oh, and I need to figure out that I cannot bluff calling stations. I used to know that. Somewhere along the way, I found my donkey suit and put it on today.
I could use a good ass kicking.
