Day 3, 4, and 5

Did not play very much over the last two days, I've been buisy. But they will be included in the challenge. If anything they will make it more interesting :) Overall I've played ~1700 hands and I'm up ~ $3000 or so. So this weekend I'm going to have to hit the tables very hard, and hopefully get in 10k+ hands.

Also on another note this new style I'm playing is working out extremley well, it's a more passive/cautious approach but because I have such a big edge over most of these players when it comes to post-flop play there's no real reason for me to play big-bet poker. This concept was actually introduced to me when I was listening to Daniel Negraneau's video blog ( www.fullcontactpoker.com ), and his presentation in the World Poker Conference ( www.thepokerbay.org) He made a few really intesting points. "If you'r mother had to play Phil Ivey in a heads up match tomorrow, and she knows nothing about poker, how would you go about teaching her how to beat him? Answer is preety simple, just go all in every hand. Phil Ivey's monstereous post-flop skills are now completley meaningless and he is forced to race in order to win. Mom could probably end up winning ~30% of the time.

Since the last week or so I've been overly-aggresive (I found myself getting more aggresive with each session) I think I reached a climax where I was just racing for stacks which is not my style. Since I've calmed down my varience is now squeeky low and I'm playing poker again.

Todays session was short, I will save myself for the weekend where I plan on ripping it up. I played ~1550 hands total and finished +$2500 nothing special.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/61611 *I'm in a mode now where I'm just taking flops. If he's raising with something like AJ or KJ I don't want to force him out preflop.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/62607 *I think I misplayed this hand. I should have definatley reopoed this one and isolated Zan who'm I have position on.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/62616 *Can't win em all. He calls 3 bet on the flop with A6... that's just incredible...
