Time to start blogging it - another micro hero.

Played some solid 1k hands in the last 2 days, running around 13BB/100.
Lost a buy-in in a set over set hand, wich doesn't bother me at all.
No major suck-outs.

I'm focusing on my game vs stations and I think it's improving, mostly on river bet sizing. I think these players will be the main source of $$$ for a few levels, so extra work here is my top priority in this stage.

Blind play and steal/re-steal mechanics. Not worth the effort at the lowest stakes, I think. Most players are at level 0-1, so they usually don't value position. If they raise from the button after 3 folds, they would probably have raised from UTG for the same amount with the same hand.

So, I still highlight players with high fold-to-steal % and try to exploit them. But I avoid getting involved into big pots to defend my blinds with marginal hands.
This will gradually be implemented in my game, as I (eventually) climb the levels.



Final note, my first quads.
First quads in a poker career deserve some celebration, so here is the hand.
Too bad the villain was short-stacked.
