Anatomy of a 25NL session. Warning: LC and long.

Ulkis · #1 11-16-2007, 05:25 AM

260 hands, 249 minutes. vpip 12.69, PTBB46.31/100, profit $30.10.
My general stats for 25NL after 5,670 hands are 14.85/5.86/1.74 & PTBB6.27/100.
Overall I am happy about the session, I did mess up one hand big time, and still need to look into my bet/raise sizes, but my nitty and patient style is getting some results.

#23/260: played this ok imo.

#60/260: worst NL hand I've ever played for obvious reasons. I mention this hand to the wife who comments: "well, sometimes you
should take risks you know...". WTF? At least I continue without tilting. I put this down to momentary lapse of judgement. Sometimes when into the session and I've made some profits, I "protect" that profit and pass on +EV situations.

too many chips on the river. So I muck and make a note.

one HH at a time is better.

This all looks fine to me.

akak · #3 11-16-2007, 09:54 AM

Why do you hate hand 60 so much? other than not 3-betting pf, I don't see anything wrong. And missing the 3-bet isn't THAT horrible.

Vavavoom · #4 11-16-2007, 10:04 AM

How do u fold the J8 Hand...or do u put on squarely on a seat coupled with the pf limp .. ie 44 ?

I've got premium hand and can't see any reason PF why to deviate from standard 3-betting. Coming to the flop after a 3-bet it would've been easier to play. I don't want to be results-orientated (because K hit later on) but I think I let go off that hand too early.

That is a good question. Villain was new at the table, I had no read at that time and I had no idea what to put him on. I was unsure, and gave him the benefit of the doubt. His AI move surprised me and I was playing it risk-aversive.
Sorry I can't explain it better, but in one sense I was also afraid that if I called and lost the pot, considerable dent to my stack might influence my play later in the session.

Nah, you let go when you should have. You had two overcards and a BDFD with a bet and raise in front of you. Easy fold.
