tagfish @ ftp\bodog NL100

5K hands this far for the month, still hovering around $0, individual sessions swing for 4-5 buyins, I guess it’s standard for todays games as you need to take lots of flips. To illustrate this, I squeeze 3-handed with AK, 85\65 fish gets the money in with 33 and holds up, fast forward 5 hands, I fistpump ship TT vs the same fish, but run against QQs. Can’t say his play is extremely bad or anything, just variance kicking in.

I’ve been following terp’s SSNL Disease series and must confess it has really helped my game. Identifying spots where to apply pressure has been quite difficult for me. I tended to underestimate my fold equity and ofter wondered about the credibility of my line. Now I’ve started to think about some spots that I would’ve passed before:
