Hey guys,

So I'm writing this operation after my biggest losing day ever yesterday. Essentially a large part of the disaster occurred because a fish.. or an apparent fish.. was playing 25/50 and I decided to "take a shot".

Here are a couple hands against this fish. The reads were that he was running 60/16ish, and check min-raising pretty often... and a lot of the times he was showing up with the nuts etc. He was also calling down a lot, with bottom/mid/top pairs.

Hand 1:
-this hand is weird, and I'm not sure if this river is a call or not
-I found it odd that he'd push that scary straight card... I guess he could have the straight himself..

These were a couple lay downs I made. A few bad bluffs at 25/50, and a few coolers at 10/20 later.. I was on my way to a -12k hit!

So the goal of this operation thread is for me to get my act together. Without a doubt my biggest leak is spewing/bluffing stupidly in dumb spots ... especially dumb spots with no fold equity. So I plan on maybe posting some hands here, and some spews as well, and maybe get some feedback on how bad they truly are.

Also, no more "taking shots" for me.. cause I just didn't play my A game with scared money.

Here goes my road to 100k! starting BR: 57k
