Cooler city.

I havn't been running very well at 5/10, after 4-5 weeks of playing 3/6 without a single losing session I suppose this was due. My overpairs are running into higher overpairs and or are getting sucked out on + people seem to just be picking up better hands. So the last 2-3 days have been going poorly and I no longer feel I am playing my A-game, I don't feel my edge is very big in my current state so I will drop down and regroup temporarly. It's funny how confident you become after a really good month and how quickly things can take a turn for the worse :D

3/6 is my A game so I will play it for a few days and go back to 5/10 when I feel I am good and ready.

I had two interesting hands today:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/109748 People have tol d me this is a spew but I generally don't get these wong. My thought process is preety simple: if his hand isn't strong enough to bet the turn it's not strong enough to make this river bet as a value bet therefore it must be a bluff. This board has a lot of missed straights and that's exactly what I put him on, I felt he is only doing this with a hand that has absolutley no showdown value. Also it's transparent my hand is weak and I would figure if he had anything decent he would value bet it because it's clear I'm not strong enough to call a big bet.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/109644 This guy was on tilt and I figured only a stronger hand would call a 2nd barrel from me so I decided to let him bluff off his chips. I also didn't think he would smooth call a flush in his "tilt" stage most players on tilt will repop me here with any draw.

That's all for now, also this month I've played 14k hands so I think I will reach the goal of 75k. I'm on pace to exceed this but I will certainley take days off.
