finally a good day.

I was considering not playing until next month. Today I watched 2 DC videos, messed about w/ PT and pokerstove for a lot, read some really good articles and read a bit of ToP. Basically there was some serious study. At the end of it I felt completely psyched up and ready for pokah and a good session it was too, 2.5k hands +$321 and I cleared the $240 bonus. Roll >7k again woo

i'm basically playing like 16/13 now which i think is much closer to optimal and playing only 16 tables I'm using all that extra time to do things like table select and make notes and actually think... you know, important stuff. Today was the first time I've felt confident w/ my new style. I'm 3betting more, stealing more etc.etc, and hopefully I'm getting better postflop as well. I caught myself thinking things through a bit deeper so hopefully the drop in the number of tables is going to do me good.

However, I still can't sort out my flipping blind numbers. Today for instance in 2.5k hands I had fold SB to steal at 94% and foldBB to st at 69%. WTF??? Whyyyyy? I just think I'm calling too much out of the big blind without any knowledge of the opponent and without any plan. Also I'm 3betting too much from the BB when I should be 3betting from the BU with position. I think atm I'm undervaluing position and overvaluing the importance of having no-one left to act and "protecting my blind" when really 3betting is just a spew.

wheeeeee long post.

OK hand reading time. Villain is 18/11 or something and like to 3bet a lot. I haven't really played back at him today and can't remember/haven't noted previous history cos i was 24 tabling when i played him before. anyway, WTFISTHISSHIT?

What does villain have and why did he stop and go a 4bet?
