This Past Week

This last week went OK, still playing low levels on Cake Poker. Think i made $100 or so. It definitely is a good place to build a bank roll. You have to be prepared for the bad beats, for example raising 5X the BB with AA twice and losing both times. Ironically both times the guy had 89os, he hit a straight once and two pair once.

I should have paid better attention. It is hard to throw away AA yes, but if you get check raised all in, something is up.

Best played hand. Had 85 suited in the BB. Flop Hits 532 I check it is bet 4 callers, i raise. 4 callers. I knew what had 3 had an A one a 4. Kept betting, kept getting called, I actually won the pot against 4 callers with a pair of 5's weak kicker.

Have a live tournament this weekend, cashed in my last two, will write more after this.

Keep my live game bankroll seperate for now.

Almost a year........

In the last year it is clear that I have become a better/ more serious player. I have had my ups and downs but I have played a lot more. In my live games I have been doing much better and on-line I have switched to CAKE poker, which has some of the easy competition one could imagine.

This blog is for me more than anyone else, if people read it fine, but I will right at least twice a week from her on to track my progress. If I want to be better I need to understand where I have come from, how I am progressing.

Currently: Cake Poker $256
live games $125
Rakeback $30
Full Tilt $156

My goal is to discuss my best and worst hands and take it from there.
Hopefully I can get some real advice if anyone is out there.
