Been playing very well so far in 2013, and I think this blog is helping keep me accountable. I think I played my best session in several years today in terms of focus and not making mistakes.

Up $701 today, and $0 avoidable losses that I can tell. Also not too many interesting spots. Most hands my dynamic and image was paying off, and I was reading flow pretty well.

Been running 23/19 this month with an 11% 3bet. I think those are good numbers for me, pretty tight overall but very aggro. Not cold-calling very much. The one spot I might get exploited is that I'm folding to 60% of 4bets, but we'll see how that plays out.

Not too many interesting hands from today, but here are a couple:

A few hands


21)
Villain and I have been battling a fair bit. I 3bet him earlier with AK and he called AQ oop and c/c a low flop with AQ and I won at showdown. This is a spot where I think his flop peeling range is wide enough that if I bet small I have to double, or my flop bet is spew.

This hand is probably the most questionable hand of my session. Villain is very aggro spazzy type. If I'm going to be cbetting this small in 3bet pots, I have to be able to take some stands in good spots. My turn shove I think is pretty merged, I wouldn't be surprised getting called by like 99+ sometimes and FD's other times, or maybe even AJ/AQ or something.
