Too bad about the river card, it might have cost you some bets.

I feel like I've had a bit of a breakthrough. I predict good things for me in the coming weeks. I think.

No losing streak here. I followed through with my 1st session since that post and won $210+ in 1800 hands at 1/2. Things seemed easy. Here's a feel good hand from that session:PokerStars Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (4 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comPreflop: Hero is Button with K , Q 1 fold, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB callsFlop: (4.5 SB) K , 8 , Q (2 players)BB checks, Hero bets, BB callsTurn: (3.25 BB) K (2 players)BB checks, Hero bets, BB raises, Hero 3-bets, BB caps, Hero callsRiver: (11.25 BB) 3 (2 players)BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero caps, BB callsTotal pot: $38.50 (19.25 BB) | Rake: $1Results:Hero had K , Q (full house, Kings over Queens).BB mucked A , 3 (flush, Ace high).Outcome: Hero won $37.50

Past two days I have found a way to drop at least 30-50BB to start the session and spend the rest of the session getting it back to post a quality 3BB victory on the day. Awesome.

Funny how people can spew that much with a flush on a paired board.

I don't think he wants to brag or personally disclose this so I'll explain a little bit of Morty's BR system. Have some money on an online site, usually enough to buy dinner. Decide to run it up. May bust it but more often than not, win some HU sngs or MTTPlay shlhe with the winnings.Keep moving up levels until he hits a figure he wants to cash out.Normally this figure is 5-10K. No idea if that's the case this time. Cash out leaving 50-250 on site.Not play for a month or two. Decide to run it up. On the current cycle, he had $40 on Stars last week. On Mort's BR mgmt system, he only has that 40 invested. Everything else is a freeroll. Oh, and he doesn't have his whole roll on the tables at all times. I wouldn't want anyone to think he's a degen.

HAHA!Pretty much right.LOL @ bolded. Love it.

So for the past week I have gone through the exact same process...Drop a good 10-50BB and then grind my way back to a BB or less win. I have been stuck within the same dollar though increasing it everyday...fun times.

[Whatever 1]

I made more tonight with the 4k fpp bonus ($64) than I did playing 1/2 for 4 hours. Ran bad and probably played too many tables again. I need to stop that.Booked a 25BB win though so it's not all bad.

3 bet the turn, and if he caps and donks the river just call down. What was your motivation for flatting the turn and raising the river? You'd put in the same amount of bets if he flatted the 3b and you bet the river, knowing 100% that he doesnt have a boat.

at the time i thought it was a good idea to try and keep button in...it seemed like a good idea at the time but i think i lost a bet because of it...i knew i had the best hand,i think villian would have pumped 2 pair/set on the flop, i think i tried to play it too fancy lol by trying to trap button in the middle

Makes sense to me. Also something to consider if the button is donkish he's going to draw to the K of diamonds for two more on the turn once he's already called once.
