This particular opponent has been 3betting me often this session, so preflop I called based on position and previous history. This call is marginal, but I prefer to take a stand against light 3bettors by either 4betting them or calling their 3bet OOP.
Once we check the flop I put him on TT-QQ,AJ,AQ maybe AK,KQ,AA. Once he checks the turn I remove AK,KQ and AA from his range. All the other hands have showdown value. Once he checks a third time I am sure he has a weak made hand or air and since I expect him to call my bet here with TT-QQ, his raise just makes no sense (bad bet by me though).
So I looked him up expecting to be ahead, and sure that he would show me AQ. this call is much easier with JJ, since then I have 99 and TT that I beat.

Serious about it

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

I haven’t posted in a while, which is something I should be more responsible about.
I decided that anyway I am thinking about poker most of the time, I might as well make regular small posts instead of monthly stats update.
The last few months things have been going very well pokerwise. Everything except that Germany banned online gambling and some of the smaller sites kicked me out.
I moved to one of the toughest fields online, the FTP, and after starting from 0/5/1 currently I am moving up to 1/2…
I started well last month, but then had a big downswing at the end so I finished at only 1ptbb/100,worst month since September :)
