I am back!

Its been just over 3 weeks since my last update. The reason was I got down over the state of my run at the tables. March was a tough month and I ended up losing money for that month. Hasnt been an easy slog since but I have recouped and the year is still looking good. I just completed 3 weeks in a row with gains which is most likely the reason I am here again. My nemesis hand at the moment is KK. I shit you not the last 7 times I have had it I have lost every single time, often with all the chips in the middle. The week just been was a see-saw week, I just couldnt get ahead or make it happen and everytime I got my nose in front KK would come along and bust me down. I got tilty/frustrated several times which is what motivated me to change my game. Whenever I get mad I want to play shorthanded so I can play more hands and be more aggressive. This fits the mood I suddenly find myself in. So over Friday, Sat. & Sunday I find myself playing shorthanded games with 1-4 opponents. I turned an even week into an $1100 profit from these games. Although I would lose some big hands I never had a session that I was down in. I believe there was 5 or 6 sessions. I only play 1 table when I do this as I am involved in play so much more and paying attention to your opponents becomes significantly more important. I thoroughly enjoyed the action, the aggression and hitting hands and busting donks. I do my best to avoid anyone I think may be a challenge...why play someone good when there are plenty of donks?

Now one thing I am aware of and have yet to be burnt over is this type of game will be way more volatile than my tight 9/10 man table game. You are pushing harder with less than nut hands. TP is now a strong hand and can be played as such. Hitting a hand can be paid off handsomely as a TP hand is less likely to be folded against you. The key for me was being aggressive PF and on the flop but knowing when to fold. So far it has worked out and I will continue to try it out for this week. Definitely a more active game and if I get good at it I will two table and I think there is a greater opportunity to win money quicker. Downside is I will also lose money a lot quicker too. I have already lost plenty of $200 hands, luckily I always recovered. I can certainly see my self losing a bundle in any given day...ah well. Going to give it a shot. Wish me luck.
