First Post

I refuse to come to terms with the fact that I suck at poker. This blog will reaffirm to everyone that visits, that I do in fact suck. I am hoping that by starting a blog and going through my daily hands, I will have an epiphany and become better. Unlikely.

I will post some of my interesting hands from each day, along with plenty of retarded digressions.

I read souls. He posted out of position and I just could not see him posting then calling with many 6s or Ks even.

I bet the turn and river for value, but I just could not figure WTF he was check raising me with on the river. Didn't think it could be a bluff like ever. I normally call here but am trying to redeem myself. My river bet is a little thin I believe, but still necessary.

5 handed and I had been fairly tight, so I wanted to open my UTG raising range a little. When I get check minraised on the flop, I'm aware that 89 is a certainly a large part of his range, but I'm also considering diamond draws, combo draws, KQ, etc? I think I have to stack off here correct?

Bleh. Standard... I think?

Bleh again. I normally 3bet here but he wasnt raising many hands. He was 30/13 I believe. Still 3bet or fold? Once the overcaller goes all in on the flop I know I'm fucked but I'm getting like 60:1.

I don't think I should have respected this blocking bet on the river. Shove?

This hand is fucking horrible and why I suck. The guy had been raising my blind virtually every opportunity he got and I hadn't fought back yet. The 5bet shove is horrendous. His small ass 4bet should have tipped me off.

My image paid off a couple hands later.

Congratulations on the new blog! If you keep up with it, it should encourage some good habits such as reviewing your sessions and thinking through your thought processes out loud.

But please don't post hand details as links, I don't want to click twelve different links to follow the action!
