The image above shows the summary for today’s poker session. As you can see I only put in a few hands but ran fairly well. There are really only two hands from the session that I will go over here. I found the $0.25/$0.50 game to be much softer than the $0.10/$0.20 game, I was getting check raised value bet very thinly and had to put my thinking cap on.

I think I should have capped pre draw maybe? I capped after the first draw as I thought my hand had good equity with two draws to go and hopefully get the pot HU. Is this good bad?

In this hand my opponent starts off pat and then breaks on the final draw. In some of DeathDonkey’s videos he points out that it is often a mistake to value bet after your opponent breaks. Is 8 perfect strong enough to value bet? I guess the reasoning is that your opponent would call with a worse 8 and re-raise any 7.

I also played 3 sit and go’s to convert some of my FPP’s to $T. I lost one game when my QQ was beaten by K8o and lost a flip in the second game JJ v AKs. I took down the final game for $T11. My opponent had a 3:1 chip lead going into HU but was very passive and that was that. So I got back about 5.2c per FPP.

I have a ticket for the APPT Sydney satellite tonight so I will be playing that. The prize structure shown below:
1st $9500 package

• 2nd -9th $215 step ticket
• 10th-27th $82 step ticket
• 28th-63rd $7.5 step ticket

So hopefully I run well, I might put in a few more TD hands but will add them to my tomorrows post.
