Momentary Career Resurection

April started off well, had a few decent winning sessions and was on track to get my bank roll back to it's former glory @25nl. Gone back to a solid (by comparison) 16/14 style with increased post flop aggression stats. Its been working well with far more valuetown action on fish and less spewing all over my keyboard.

I keep getting in the situation below where I play TPTK pretty standard and get too much action on fairly dry boards and don't know where I am.



His lines doesn't make sense for 22's or AQ which is what I initially thought. Some kinda 7 might play it like this but how many of them are in his range?

Despite this I've been running pretty nicely and getting a bit of confidence back which seems to help with making decent decisions.

Had a pretty funny hand will this fishy as guy who was doing some weird shit. Id say nearly 100% of the time my play is spewy except against this guy who I had a bit of a soul read on.


On review of that hand I played it terribly and sucked out.

Sunday session turned to shit to put me back in my place. I kept the non show-downs in the positives for 1200 hands but still managed to lose 2.5 buy-ins mostly due to crap like this:




If you can get away from that you are a champion.

  3. Do you ever check the flop there chris? Just to pot control. I would also try to make up my mind on the turn, either shove cos you think your good and get looked up by AJ/AQ type hands or fold right there. I cant do it myself but i think the thoughts good.

  4. i might check it there if im in position to mix it up. oop no cause if he checks behind then u lead turn and get raised ur in a really tough spot. in position u can just call if he leads turn with a good hand, its unlikely he would go for a second check raise if you know what i mean.

    ur reasoning is good. id fold turn or shove depending on player. a descent player would never be bluffing here, we obviously have a big ace
