to you sir, im on a draw !

Villain was a 24/20/4.3 I sometimes 3bet here, mainly against regs but I elected to call and see a flop.

Obviously a great flop, but adding to this is a potential flush draw. I thought in the back of my mind if I get aggro here I likely get paid off from his pocket pairs but I fold out a lot of broadway and suited connector hands. The chance of a flush coming by the river is 2:1 against. so 2 times out of 3 I may be able to get some more cash here with his aggro style. A diamond may slow him down, other higher cards may help him bluff or even hit a pair.
I considered min reraising the turn but I think that looks too strong. I was also happy with my story of a draw and a flush draw is now 4:1 against.

I didnt expect the river shove but I guess thats what you find when aggro monkey is out of position. I expected to see a 2 pair hand atleast.

Im loving being back at 50nl.

Time to step up

10nl



25nl

With my original $100 bankroll I have made some money via tournaments and have beaten 10nl and 25nl enough to now start taking shots at 50nl. Bankroll is now $780.

I havent had many 'interesting' situations at 10nl and 25nl. To win at these levels I have been jumping from table to table seeking out the fish and not butting heads with the regs wherever I can avoid it.

50nl should show a different game if I remember from the last time I climbed this ladder. I can start adding to the blog these situations as I have struggled to find many at the lower levels.

Keep an eye on here. I will be posting a little more regular from now.
