swingy

As planned I put in some more hands today. Right off the bat I lost 3 stacks:

1

This guy was a maniac, definetly a cooler to run into set over set against somebody playing very aggro and too many hands.

2

mixing it up vs a fairly tight early postion raiser. I don't like reraising it here and getting it in preflop that is why I opted to call and raise a good flop. My play worked out besides the part of running into KK.

3

Maybe I am not fully adopted to more aggressive play yet, but I think this is a bit spewy against my first 4bet. I guess some people expect you to 4bet light the first time, so maybe he was just levelling himself here. I don't think his play is necessarily horrible, but I don't think he will turn a profit in this specific spot.

As you can see though my luck soonly turned around. My downswing peaked at -12 buy ins, which I think is a new record, but not a total shocker as I've been on three 9 buy in downswings before. I basically ended up winning some bigger pots and then chipping it up to turn a profit of 650ish.
Here are some of my winning pots.

a

Villain did think befor felting this here. Imo if he is reraising he should be snapping. I don't mind his play here, he can't really fold preflop and cold calling can get him into some icky spots. So I think 4bet felt is reasonable.

b

Villain was a reg here. I think his play is pretty poor. My range is crushing him. He is calling to hope for a flip at best. I'll never have worse aces here except an Adxd.
4 way he needs to look for other alternatives than his line.

c

As you can see people don't give me much respect preflop. I guess one of the advantages of havign a LAG image.

d

Still no credit.

e

Villain in this hand was loose and aggressive (bad). Thus my reasoning for completing 43o against him. His timing was pretty bad so I felt very confident in check calling this river as opposed to betting. He was very aggressive so I expected him to bluff a missed draw practically 100% of the time. Sometimes I get owned here by some backdoor draw. I'm however not concerned about boats, if he has a back door draw it is likely a hand like xc5c or xc8c and that's about it.


Arsenal took Milan for 2-0 yesterday which I am very pleased about. Arsenal play a fun style of football and it's always a pleasure watching them. Wenger does a really great job there and I am sad already for when he decides to leave. I hope Arsenal can go far this year and hopefully win it. I think Wenger and the team def deserve it.

As expected Heroes is pretty good and addictive. I'm up to episode 17 so far of season 1. The story line is pretty decent. My fav character so far is the Japanes Kid, he just amuses me somehow. I'm also fond of Japanes culture though, so I'm probably biased.
