Excuse me...

...your life is waiting is an amazing book. I am half way throuhg my 2nd read of it and I am remebering why I was stoked about it the 1st I read the book. One thing it talks about is just creating good feelings and using that feeling as a way to magnetize what you want. I decided to put it to the ultimate test tonight and I sat in fron tof my comp creating feel good energy for 5 minutes before starting my session. I shit you now the 1st hand of my session was this one. I managed to own myself by not cbetting enough and making a terrible turn decision based solely on HUD but you get the idea I believe. I proceeded to get big pockets preflop and basically catch a sweet run of cards. I managed to also play poorly postflop which isnt fun.

Today was a less then exciting day poker wise and I really felt the old me creeping back in. The old blame my luck rely on cards and basically bot my way through my session. I need to solve this problem. My break even run is my fault and I am the only one who can solve it. The truth is I played a solid session early and was feeling great about poker. Then when I made my way back to the tables in the evening the fish were everywhere and they werent folding/I wasnt connecting which can lead me to become frustrated. When the fish are out the game really does rely on cards or maybe I need to pull my head out of my rear and start raping fools. Anyways one thing I wont allow to happen is negativity, at least not for long stretches. I will be back at it tomorrow.

HAND OF THE DAY-Feedback wanted

The preflop raiser is a fish, villain is 24/12/4 (1.4K)

Standard preflop.

$1/$2 No Limit Holdem

6 players
Converted at weaktight.com


Stacks:

UTG		($109.00)
UTG+1		($200.65)
CO		($409.95)
Hero (BTN)		($235.55)
SB		($380.00)
BB		($310.00)

Pre-flop: ($3, 6 players) Hero is BTN

UTG raises to $4, UTG+1 calls $4, 1 fold, Hero calls $4, 1 fold, BB calls $2

Flop: ($17, 4 players)
BB checks, UTG bets $8.50, 1 fold, Hero calls $8.50, BB calls $8.50

I could raise the flop but I think flatting is prefered.

Turn: ($42.50, 3 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $28, BB raises to $96, UTG folds, Hero calls $68

I was real fucking confused when villain c/r as it seems like anything strong would have c/r the flop.

River: ($234.50, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $127.05, BB folds

The river doesnt truly change all that much unless he held AQ or A9 but I was calling and I couldnt believe it when he c/f.

Final Pot: $361.55

Hero wins $358.05 ( won +$122.50 )
BB lost -$108.50
UTG lost -$12.50
UTG+1 lost -$4.00
