• Brought my fold to 3bet up to 62.5% in 1k hands played today. Coach will be so proud of me. Seriously, it is requiring conscious effort. #

• Days like today, the EV line keeps me sane. -$334 actual, -$124 EV-adjusted. Taking shots at #50NL and getting destroyed in 3bet/4bet game. #

• 1) Played a $45+10+10 deep stack (yeah, i know, prob unbeatable). Lasted 3 rounds, 100-200, 50xBB deep, flop SPR=3.5, get all-in on… #
• 987 (r/one heart) - Ah turn with top set. K8h calls and hits seven-outer. 100% standard of course, but good practice for live donkaments. #
• 2) $1-3, $6 button straddle, i open from HJ for $20 with QTo, gin flop: ATT ds, I bet, CO calls. turn J still ds, I bet, he calls…. #
• River I shove (started $175 deep or so), he tanks, talks thru my hands like AJ, JJ, then calls. Value betting in $1-3 is easy & profitable. #

• 3. Wacky 4s full of 2s hand 4. Awesome[ly weak-tight] QQ preflop fold 5. Dealer error causes commotion #

• Running real bad at life today. Spilled coffee, which i thought didn’t get in my comp but - now none of my keys type what i expect. #
• And no, it’s not a Dvorak/QWERTY issue, i know those inside and outside. So, giving the laptop a rest, so can’t play with a HUD, so, yeah. #
• #Variance lesson: This hand is why i’m a 1bb/100 winner instead of a 5bb winner over 10k hands of 25: http://bit.ly/rNGYX Not so bad a beat #

• Min3bet by otherwise competent player at 25 = AA. Could FT pls add a function to turn over the hole cards, ring a bell, and invoke a dialog? #
• Result for today: stuck $103 mostly at NL25. All-in EV: +14.20. At least I’m no longer playing S&Gs. #
• RT @LizLieu http://twitpic.com/7vt1k - if you ever wanted to see Bellagio $5k “flags” in action. #

• Messed up hand from yesterday: http://www.thehandconverter.com/hands/155010 Of course he has KK (with Kh, that I didn’t know) but wtf bluff? #
• Ha, table fish (64/35, not too bad post) is running insanely good and sitting on 6bis. I followed him to a $1-2 game w/o noticing was limit #

• Yeehaw! Flynn/Miller/Mehta book is out. My favorite quote so far: “If you prefer playing live, you’re in for a real treat….” #
• “Taking

• Pretty sure the story on p. 54 is the same one Ed has told on a video and, I think, on his blog somewhere. My similar folly: 40/4 L/RR utg #

• Pulling for @JoeTall in his killer table at the $1500 HORSE. Sounds like he’s running bad. #dcwsop #

• Rarely watch WSOP highlight shows, but it’s striking how many obvious “weak means strong” tells that Phillips guy was giving off last year. #
• Gearing up for the Iron Man Bronze freeroll. 980 or so players, $10k price pool so about $10 in equity. #
• Wow, grindtofreedom wasn’t kidding about the IronMan Bronze. 7 of 9 are sitting out. Heads up match with a ton of dead money. #
• Of course i still managed to pay off a set to my lone opponent with QQ. I turned overset, he spiked one-outer on river. Standard, right? #
• @xquseme I love that buffet. Only reason to go to Harrah’s - Their poker room staff are bad, but at least i leave well-fed. #
• So from 95 chips after quads>set>set, i’m back to 5k. 95th of 328, already #ITM. #ironman #mtt #
