More of the Same

Still grinding out the cash games. It has been really juicy, I just haven't been able to maximize on my great hands. Most of my profits have come from outplaying people on flops, and three betting LAG's. While I don't mind booking wins, which I have booked a win everyday. I hate only booking small wins. My wins should have been really big. But it seems like I just can't nail them down, even when they are drawing really thin.

Here's a perfect example. This happened to me last night. It was really disgusting. KK vs. QQ. His VPIP and pre-flop raise percentages were 9.5 and 8, respectively. I knew he was only raising QQ+ and maybe AK. SO I didn't want to overplay KK just to stare down AA. SO against an extremely tight player, I'm looking to see what they do on the flop and turn. If I get some resistance with this kind of player, I will fold KK, even on a 9 high flop. What else could he be playing? So this pot chopped me down for the night. If I win this hand, and the others, I book a really good win.

It's just amazing. Last night I lost 4 hands with bigger pairs to smaller pairs, and twice with dominating hands. I lost AK vs. A10 and KQ vs. K8. So I just have to keep my game up and go from there. I'm playing well, playing position with aggression and using my HUD, so I'm trying to stay on my present goals I set. I need to keep it up and the wins will come.

My BB/100 is OK, but not great. If I could just win the hands I get with KK, QQ, and AK, this number would be much higher. Finally, if I can win about 6 buy-ins, I'll have enough to move to the next level. So hopefully I can keep booking wins, and not minimal wins. The biggest key to winning for me so far, has been playing small pots with LAG's OOP with marginal hands and not overvaluing my hands; and maximizing my value bets against the calling stations. So it's time to get back to the grind. I might take a book from Goldseraph and take a shot at making a couple of videos. It could be a great way to get some critiques on my play and maybe I'll find some leaks to work on. Good luck at the tables.
