I feel like a tortoise. My Poker bankroll is gradually creeping back upwards. But I doubt I'll step up the levels until Juice is ready as well. He's off in America this weekend to drink Jack Daniels, so I just had a short session on my lonesome self.
Two tabling, I found that both tables were fairly loose and passive, but with 1 or two aggressive players. Poker Office told me that the opposition was full of players seeing well over 50% of flops. It was therefore a case waiting for the cards.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm less afraid to bet, raise and re-raise these days. This hurts when I lose, but maximise gains. For example, I hit a straight draw on a rainbow flop. 5 opponents were waiting to act after me. I was 4.875:1 to hit my straight so I bet. And re-raised a raise when all 5 players had decided to join in. I ended up losing that hand. But I still feel that it was a profitable play.
In terms for software, I've been using more of Poker Office. It can tell me if my opponents are fish, and I've decided that the Piranha phenomenon must just be a streak of luck. Every dog has its day, afterall.
Anyway, I feel that my discipline has also tightenned up. So if I stay on track, maybe I'll get somewhere with the poker afterall.
Good luck,
The Edge.
