My fourth week of live grinding is complete.
I played 4 of 7 days, posted 1 win and 3 losses.
I played $1/$2 NLHE.
Playing NLHE, I lost $817.
I worked a total of 15.25 hours and lost $817.
I also spent 4 hours in the WSOP Main Event satellite freeroll.
What I did right or wrong:
Forgive my language, but I ran like total dogshit this week and have to say my play suffered as the week (and my bad run) rolled on. I played hands I know better than to play in situations where my opponent showed a ton of strength. Hands like AJs, KTs, QJs, which I would normally pitch to a 3-bet (unless there is a 3rd player coming along), I not only took a flop, I also peeled too lightly on the flop to strong--and expected--continuation bets. A couple times I compounded the error by raising and trying to take the pot away, knowing they're going to call with their overpair. Bad. Just fugly.
That being said, I also played fantastic in a number of spots where I got all the money in as a big favorite (2 pair vs 1 pair, set vs 1 pair, etc), only to lose to 4-outers or runner runner. In all, I was all in with the best hand in pots of over $400 a total of 5 times and only won 1 of them.
My last two sessions I played way too passive and allowed my opponents to make hands that beat me a good dozen times. I failed to raise with the best hand and allowed the turn to be checked through too often. In most of these situations I had a top-pair hand with a draw or a pair on board. I'd value bet the river and paid off min-raises pretty much every time, only to learn my opponent hit their gutshot or 3-outer on the riv.
Goals for next week:
Tighten up, especially from early position.
Raise first-in every time. No open-limping, except with a limp-reraise plan.
Be more aggressive on the turn when I expect to have the best hand.
Fold more often to aggression when I have a medium-strength hand, especially on the river.
Play 30 hours of NLHE.
