Who's reading portdeco20 (5):
I had played two sessions so far in the day, starting with a bankroll of $34, that actually went right down during the first session to $16..
 
1st session- after tilt, won back some money lost from tilt and ended up making a profit of $10.85.
 
BR=$45.13
 
2nd session-  played very well for just over an hour making a profit of $10.70 from cash games and an extra $4.50 in sit and go's, total profit= $15.20.
 
BR=$60.33
 
last session
 
playing in some low limit cash games. $2 buy in while im playing 3 handed against stacks of $15 and $14. I gradually built to $5 before 3 people had joined our table with less stack than mine. Sat out a few hands while i observed the new players and then joined.
 
My stack was $5.40, in mid position i just call with 8d9h. It folds to button who raises and SB and BB fold, i call. Flop is 8c9c10d. I check it, button bets 60c into 90c pot. I raise $2.20 and he go's all in, his stack is bigger than mine so i am all in. He has 10cQc-top pair flush draw. Turn comes 4h and river is 9s which gives me the full house, took a pot of $9.95.
 
Again, just gradually building my stack to around $11-$12.
 
Tough decision
 
My BB and it folds to the cut off who raises pot, fold to me and i call with Qh7h. Flop comes: 8dQd6c, i check, he bets pot and i quickly call. Turn was 10d (flush on board) and i check, he bets all in for around $10 into a $2.80 pot. I took a lot of time, was a very tough decision, but the fact that he overbet the pot so much put him of the flush, another factor was my weak kicker and the fact he raised pre flop. What was he holding-QQ and didnt want the diamond? Eventually i call wejghing out the odds. He turned KsJs-straight draw. He had a few outs and was roughly around 22% to win. He never hit so i took down a $17.45 pot =)
 
BR-$74.48

    Hey Port; I notice you play a very mathematical poker game and that you are
    always counting your money.
     
    Oh, I also noticed that you are from Wales, my father's side is from Wales
    too. They came to Pennsylvania in the 1830's as coal miners.
     
    Anyway, luck plays a bigger part in the game than the poker stars would
    have you believe. The best player if he doesn't draw the cards will lose.
     
    I am not saying there isn't skill involved, there is, I just don't play poker like I
    am killing snakes. Sit back, relax and sink into the game, forget the money
    and play like it's not for money.
     
    Of course, it is money and that consideration you take into account before
    you begin and make sure you don't become addicted or get in over your
    head with the money. Otherwise, forget it's money, don't play recklessly,
    but play relaxed and use your instincts, this works for me. Good Luck

    Yes, we should talk here on your blog. I agree, skill is a must. But, first
    and foremost you have to be comfortable with the game. You are playing
    for nickels and dimes a great way to get comfortable. No big losses.
     
    So, what I am saying is, kick back, and play the game on your instincts.
    Learn about skill and luck and the mechanics of poker. Just don't over
    do the analitical, it will ruin the game for you and spoil any oppertunity
    you have for luck..........thanks

    I don't play poker online Port. I live in Montana and we have poker tables
    in the bars and casino's here. I used to enjoy bunkhouse poker, but all
    that's played these days is the texas holdem games.
     
    I usually take $500 for a buy in and look for a $5 to $15 dollar game.
    Yeah, I'll subscribe to you.........and........Good luck.
     
    I am not writing much in the summer, but will be around.
