Put In A Good Weekend


I really feel like I'm hitting my stride at this game so to speak. Played a good number of sessions and hands over the weekend, and won at a very solid clip as well. For some reason, it seems like the games on the weekends are a lot softer than those during the week. The key during the week is to focus even harder on game selection.

Played a pile of hands yesterday, it's amazing how fast the hands add up when you're 2-tabling. Ended up winning ~2buyins in just over a thousand hands. It's too bad, at one point I had two absolutely terrible players on the go, I just couldn't hit any hands against them. They both had the same leak in their game, getting NO value for their big hands, which makes them easy to play against with little varience.

These guys were flat calling hands like pocket kings preflop, then checking the flop when they hit their set. It paid off for me once when a guy did exactly that with kings and a flopped set -- he allowed me to river a flush on him, then paid off when I check/raised him with the made hand. Against these types of players you pretty much can just wait and hit hands and work on getting value out of them.

Unfortunately I really wasn't catching much against either of them, so I ended that around break even. Then a total spewmonkey sat with me and donated $85 to the cause, rescuing an otherwise pointless day of heads up grinding.
