I do this kind of thing a bit. Its high variance so maybe I shouldnt, but I just believe that against these spewy lagtards you cant afford to wait for the nuts. I had a read, put it into play and won. It wasnt a great read. For instance maybe he doesnt slowplay TP/2P type hands, but perhaps he does the stone cold nuts or sets?

I'm fine with how I played it postflop, but on review I really dont like PF. Calling a 3bet with a hand like 99 OOP against an aggressive opponent is asking for trouble postflop. Problem is I think I do really well against his 3-bet range, but I'm not sure if I hold up so well against he stackoff range? I dont want to fold, but I dont want to 4-bet, yet I think calling is probably the worst of all options. Shitty spot, maybe I'll post just the PF in the SH forum and ask for opinions. I think perhaps 99 is just in the stackoff range against a guy like this, but not sure.

Playing better I think, but letting some other things let me down. I'm remaining on tag-filled tables too often, playing when the games arent good/etc. My graph is looking strange last 1k hands or so. Slopes down then big spike up, slopes down then big spike up, etc. Tends to suggest I'm starting to lose a lot of small/med pots. Some of this is the fact I'm calling and then folding later too much. I've also just had spots where I've either had to b/f or c-bet then give up, etc.

I'm lacking a bit in my study. I've been watching vids and taking stuff in, but have stopped taking notes/etc. Also not a lot of review of my own game. Gotta step that back up.

One last note is that I'm starting to focus on the money a bit too much again. Been such a good month that I want to finish well and knock over a few milestones, but my streak really began when I decided to ignore the monetary goals and just focus on playing good poker and worry about the money later. Tough as I get towards the end of the month and within distance of some pretty cool monetary milestones, but have to try to ignore it. Starting to watch my sessions results too much mid-session though. Letting even small amounts get to me. Like if I start the session $20-$30 down I'm annoyed, even though that's in reality only a couple of raise PF, cbet, giveup type hands. I'm comfortable playing with the money, but havnt really adjusted to the amounts in a results manner yet (if that makes sense).

I do have some poker theory stuff I want to discuss, but in the office today so really should knock some work out. Maybe tonight or tomorrow.
