    My graph looked similarly to this at this point last month
    Seriously, we must be poker blood brothers or something (except I think you are better at teh pokerz :club: ). That is all I am saying however because I believe there is a chance that posting my early month run good graph in January must have doomswitched me somehow, and I am not going to allow February to get f'ed. :ts

    Looks like Tiffany got raped again.
    Not yet, she usually plays late afternoons/evenings. So hopefully that will make my graph look even better tonight.Although gilbertology has a new thing for taking her $ as well, so I need to fight him for her. It's like we are back in high school fighting over a girl... :club:

    Just got this offer by email from the Excaliber... while the food idea is nice, the lady creeps me out (plus I run horribly bad in any kind of gambling there, and have decided I will never ever gamble there again, let alone stay there and jinx my entire trip. that said, the knights' dinner show is still pretty cool. :club: )buffet.jpg

    i guess i just played with flawed logic.pf i decided to call knowing that the SB would check regardless of the flop and i figured the button would cbet a good percentage of the time here because of his 3bet range and his position and the SB would call a very high percentage of the time....this would build up a lot of dead money in the pot and i would still have fold equity on the button while having the sb dominated most of the time if the flop meshed well with my hand...i felt like this gave me pretty good odds to shove...if the flop was super ugly i could easily get away from my hand...i def felt like i could have won a smaller pot with less risk at the time....but it looks like you guys think that I am -EV the way I played it so it might not have been a good way to play the hand in the long run.appreciate the feedback.i'm headed out, if anyone is curious about results just post and ill post when i get back.
    1. I think your flop logic is flawed a bit with the first bolded part. If you think SB is calling a high percentage of the time, this really doesn't allow Button to cbet light (or at least he shouldn't, since he is getting at least one call, with you to act behind). So unless you think he is capable of just lighting money on fire, you probably don't have as much (if any) FE as you think you might.2. I guess you won the hand? :club:

    sry but what do you mean "fold/call"?
    It is an awkward spot with the SB in there, but Button's bet on the flop (unless he is a spazz or cbets too much) is REALLY strong here imo. So yeah we have an overpair, but he is betting knowing there is a good chance SB isn't folding this flop.Shoving is spew here I think, and calling kinda sucks too, as there is at least $40 more going in on the turn (so a call commits us on a safe turn - which means we decided to put all our $ in on the flop (and in that case we should be probably be shoving, but I think that is spew for previously mentioned reasons, lol), so this is a spot I am fine losing a small pot like this with a decently strong hand.Edit: Meh, as always, Ralph is probably right about getting all in pf.

    So funny story: Listed my house on craigslist to rent. One person responds and I tell her we're moving this week but I can show it next week. She emails back 2 days later and says 'Can I see it today or tomorrow?'So I respond back and say I can't because we're moving (which I've already told her) but I could do Monday at 2, or Tuesday in the evening if she works, whatever. She responds back and says: "Ok lets do Monday at 2pm. Please just call me monday morning and remind me."LOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLYeah I don't think I'll be renting to you sweetie. I can just see each month having to call and remind you to pay your rent....Mark
    FWIW, I think you should just turn the house into your poker office, host games 4 days a week, take a rake, and pay the mortgage that way. Mega deductions on your tax return too. :club:

    lol, I think volume bets are a leak for some people, not all.I'm just not the type of guy who has grinded because I had to grind. In the past, I have gotten into spots where I've been cash poor and needed to make money to survive, but those never ever ended up well. I would never end up playing my A game. I guess it's similar to the pressure a volume bet could have, although the volume bet would exude less pressure.
    Yeah, this is the first time I have made one, and I am pretty sure it will be my last, lol. I was just looking for motivation to put in more hands, as I always feel like I could have played more, but I probably should have picked a normal 31 day month to play the most hands I ever have. :club: The $ amount isn't so much that I will be stressed out if I lose, so I am not worried about that affecting me (altho i will def be annoyed).So I am not sure this was the best way to try to play more each month, and like I said I agree that being focused is the most important thing when playing instead of just robotically putting in hands, but it is a fun mental experiment/training for me if nothing else I think.
