River Day

Started the day with a beat, 3 betting BB at the SB, and I knew he had kings the way he tried to set me up with 4 bet. I pushed with aces and he snap called. I had an ace of diamond, the flop came Kxx ddd. I can't seem to avoid the fate of getting sucked out by 2-3 outer every single session. Unfortunately, no diamond came any more. He shipped my whole stack when I was barely 5 hands fresh at the table.

Oh no I didn't smashed my mouse, I'd been telling myself its part of poker since I experience it EVERY session. Anyway, at that particular table I continued to get sucked out in between the next 50 hands and I just found myself down about 2 full buy-ins.

God always reward patience as I did not tilt and spew my stack, my vengeance are always rewarded when I keep my patience and play my usual after a beat. Against the same opponent who cracked my aces with cowboys, I later rivered him AJhh against his JJ with a flush, which I think it tilted him because he'd 3-bet me for the next few hands.

I net my cash game positive later when I won a super cooler on a river. Gotta love the river today.



Thats the one thing I scared about slow playing your nuts, I meant your nut holdings.. not your below.

I four-tabled with two other sit & gos. Got knocked out easily in the big $3.30 and 9-sng. Later cashed out runner-up followed by winning the 6-max sng. I held onto the 45-sng and cashed out 3rd, one of my best. I felt like I was playing in the zone these few days. But 4 table is currently the max for me. Not intending to add anymore tables though, am very comfortable with my recent play.

Been just focusing on the turbos for my recent sngs. Reason being time constraint, as well as getting into more flips. I know generally people say that regular speed are the ones for the skillful? Becuz of the slow blinds rendering people to play more post-flops. As for turbo, before you're in for another orbit, you've found yourself short stacked and ready to gamble. Thats why I consider myself lucky in current month's sngs - firstime positive for tourneys.

Great to end my birthday on the green side.

Good luck at the tables!
