Variance

I'm up and down at the moment, more down really, I seem to be getting caught by poor players hitting.

Example: Villian raised to 50c, me with AA re-raised to $3 he calls flop K J 2 rainbow he bet $1 I re-raised $3 he calls turn 3 he bets $1 I push he calls with 10 10 and rivers a 10 - lol he types into the chat box - I say nothing, can he really think that he was ahead at anytime?

AA again raised on the button to $1.50 was called by 1 player flop 235 he was playing A4off needles to say I got a little burned.

Loosing Again

Just twigged with Pacific re-jigging the blinds there's no 1c/2c tables so all the beginners and fish are playing at the lowest stakes now of 5c/10c, that explains why I raise big pre-flop and get 4 callers on a 6 handed table and why some of the play is so unpredictable, all-in on a flush draw or second pair etc. I was loosing to often to straights and flushes, it's hard to win anything with 4 people chasing hands, one of them is likely to out draw you aces.

Any how either got to choose tables carefully and keep away from the 4 caller super loose tables or move up to 10c/20c.

Back to the grind again super tight v super loose

Loose Tables

Blew off $25 yesterday, got involved in a loose table and instead of staying disciplined I got embroiled in stupid plays and got burned.

Saying that I raised 8x BB with AA on the button and got 4 callers on an 6 handed table, that should have been my key to get out, needless to say I lost that hand to a flush draw on the river, man those guy just would'nt give up.

It's so hard to win when you raise with AK 4 x BB and get called by 4-5 players, even if you hit the A or the K it's difficult to work out where you're at, especially when people are playing any 2 suited cards, so that flop of A44 probabley mean some donk play J4 suited has got you beat.

Mood

Just wasn't in the mood last night, played for about an 40 minutes $7 up, but people going all-in with flush draws and straight draws on the flop/turn, wasn't concentrating enough so kept it tight until I decided if I wasn't going to make an effort to bust these chumps I may as well log off.

Log off I did.

Table was loose and with some patience I could have had a good night, but too much going on in my life to stay focused on poker, my son has been ill and spent a few weeks in hospital, he's on the mend but worry and lack of sleep are catching up on me.

Kickers

Played for an hour last night put on best part of $20.

Most profit from 1 player who would confidently bet with Kings or Aces with a low kicker if he connected top pair, even if someone bet back into him.

I caught AJ in the BB, he was on the button I raised to 40c he called me, him only in the pot.
Flop 2 7 J I checked he made a pot size bet I re-raised and he called, turn 3 I checked he checked the river a 6 at this point I'm pretty sure he's on a jack with a low kicker, so I made a pot size bet and he called with J10 off.

This happened 3/4 times he played a low kicker against me so I marked a note on him for future reference.
