BR : $545.40

Couldn't get anything going at the table today, felt very unsure of myself and didn't win any pots of significance.

Don't know if you want advice, but I can't resist if you dont then just ignore.

First hand is a fold on the flop, His range here is sets, flushes, Ax's with high diamonds or two pairs, none of which you are ahead of and the turn draws you into losing a big pot.

Second hand if your not going to 3 bet preflop, then you have to raise that flop to protect your hand, your giving a cheap card to anyone with flush or straight draws which you should be getting value from. Also people may put you on a draw and you can get it in way ahead against hands like 8x or overs like 99,1010,JJ,QQ,KK.

Third hand, Could 4 bet preflop as his min reraise seems suspicious, if your gunna call J9 and flop a decent draw then you should at least reraise the flop to see if you can take it down there, your gaining fold equity aswell as the fact that if he just calls he is likely to check the turn and you can get a free river. Or if you hit you can get 3 streets of value in an inflated pot.

Good luck btw, hope you make your goal and when you do come play me at Omaha HUSNG's Smile

Nuts and bolts of the situation are right now is I have $656 on stars. By 25th September I want to have $5k +. I'll try to do this playing 50NL and 100NL 6-max mostly. My roll is short but for better or worse I'm playing 50NL now with 13 buyins to get me started. Purpose of this blog is to help put me in a better mental state for my sessions. Updates daily with Holdem manager screenshots and biggest 3 losing and winning hands. Good day to you all.

But don't you think it's a bit too optimistic to have such a high goal? if I were you I would probably get a rakeback deal on some of the smaller sites, it will help you alot pokerstars does not offer that before you have played ALOT of hands.

If I make only make 2.5k to be honest its fine but i'll give it a shot! yea i had rb on tilt but now......meh. I cant stand any other software but stars now. Anyway i have goldstar and if i make platinum next month that should be worth about 15% rb or something so its not all gone. btw can you see the picture above? i cant....

I went from Fulltilt (IMO the most clean and nice design but that's gone now) to bestmost which is a part of Ipoker network, it's actually not that bad, but I am really only playing there because of a really good rakebackdeal I have. And no I cannot see the picture

I was thinking most of what you said after the fact ,except for 4-betting the J9, i fell like a fish has a huge hand a lot here when he does that, and even if he doesnt I do ok just playing a small pot in position, although didn't work out here lol. The AJ hand is symptomatic of a recurring problem where I know a spot is probably bad but in a split second after reasoning why i should fold say "fuckit call" with no plan of what to do next. Every play needs to be part of a plan. If I got no plan, fold the hand. That's my new motto
