Master

I am the master of my life. Everything I have gone through in life both good and bad I created. Yesterday was one of them days where I went ape shit and lost too much money being stuck in negative land. Bad vibes equal bad times. Life is too short to let negativity slip in.


I mean shoot this blog is titled Positivity & Poker for a reason.

I will stay positive.

Thin call down here?

• Pre-Flop ($3, 6 players)Hero is UTG
• 

Hero raises to $4, 3 folds, SB calls $3.50, 1 fold

• Flop ($10.50, 2 players)
• 

SB checks, Hero bets $6, SB calls $6

I decide to Cbet here for protection and some value. I can XB and bluff catch later but we hadnt played many hands at this juncture.

• Turn ($22.50, 2 players)
• 

SB bets $13, Hero calls $13

Here I was a bit confused as to what villain leads. I assume 45 XR so it feels alot like a FD with overs or a Pair+FD. Sometimes it can be a Tx hand trying to protect from a XB I assume.

• River ($48.50, 2 players)
• 

SB bets $28, Hero calls $28

Here villain thinks for awhile and bets. I need 27% equity here. Have to think a bit about this. may have been an easy fold in hindsight.

• Final Pot: $104.50

Villain may have a monster but so be it. I have to 3bet here being OOP IMO and given the board texture along with the number of worse Qx hands he can have.

No choice!

Obviously not my day. Think I have to drop down to 50NL for the rest of April. And begin job hunting.

Scared shitless

Warning: I dont want sympathy this is a pure vent.

I cant win. This game has officially turned on me and at a time where I cant deal with it too well. No matter what I get fucked. I can flop a set and VB twice only too get rivered. I cant 3bet someone to hell and when I get a monster they own me. My life roll and poker roll are near bust and I am deathly afraid of trying to get a job in this fucking climate. I hate my life so fucking much right now. I sit here knowing I have to play but wanting to break things every time I sit at the table. I have already busted one highlighter pen and my dictionary.

I honestly have no fucking clue what to do. I am scared. It is quite insane how all can seem well and dandy one minute and the next thing you know life too much to handle.

I intend to get through this and come out on top. I honestly hate poker again. I hate being broke and knowing I need to win. Playing poker with that mindset is so infuriating. I had a whole weekend to just hang and enjoy life and then I sit down and insta drop 6 BI's. Welcome back. FUCK YOU POKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fold more, bluff less

These are the keys to my success at the tables. I am doing a sick ass job of building a shit image and value towning fools. That being said I need to fold more when I know I am behind. And bluff a bit less especially when they arent likely folding. Tilt has slowly seeped back into my game and I need to be sure to keep a close eye on it. Played just under 12k hands this month 5&6 tabling and am breakeven. I know I can play 5 now 6 is another story. The simple fact remains I am my worst enemy.

Easy XF?
