My sixth week of live grinding is complete.
I played 4 of 7 days, posted 2 wins and 2 losses.
I played $1/$2 NLHE, and won $145.
Altogether, I worked a total of 27.5 hours. ($5.27/hr)
What I did right or wrong:
Nothing stands out this week. Either I was hitting or I wasn't.
I made 1 big mistake in a big pot. A little metagame info: A player I know well from the 3/6 limit games sat down at my NLHE table. She is a known chaser who will call all in with draws. Holding ATs I raised preflop, she called from the BB, and the flop came AKT. She check-called the flop and called my all in on the turn with AQ while I held 2 pair. The river K counterfeited me and she won a 220BB pot.
A few orbits later, I raise pf with T8ss, she again called from the blinds. The flop came JT7ss. She donked and I raised; she called. The turn came a 9h. Again she donked, and I raised again. She called. The river came the 5s, completing my flush, but she moved all in. I didn't even think about it and snap-called. Big mistake. Not only did she have KQ for the nut straight, she was also suited in spades for the better flush. It's not so much that I raised the turn with the worse hand as much as I plowed forward on the basis of our history rather than the current action. Do I think she would have played a naked 8 the same way? Yes, except for the river shove. The only thing I'm beating on this river is the nut straight. I should have at least taken a moment to think about it. I still don't think I can fold vs this player, but I'm disappointed I didn't at least think it over.
My goal for next week is to log 30 hours of NLHE.
