Another bad session, to make 2 in a row. I definitely have some glaring holes in my game though, this one can't be blamed on variance/beats like the last one can. I was up about $35 dollars with 20 minutes left in my session and then I blew about $65 to finish -$32 on the night.
One interesting point is I always seem to win before the fall... Maybe I am loosening up subconsciously while I'm winning?
My one major fault that I identified (which lost me a lot of money tonight) is calling river value bets. There are times when I am almost certain I'm beat, but I'm getting 3:1 or 4:1 to call, so I call with my TPGK. I think there are definitely times when you have to look at pot odds for calling river bets, but I'm calling too much. Basically I look at the pot and think, "Yeah, it's $5 but I'm getting 3.5:1 on my money, so how can I fold?" Well I should be able to fold because I'm getting 3.5:1 with less than 30% to win the hand... more like 2-10% in most situations. I think maybe it's time to break out the poker stove and go over some of these situations to see how off the calls were that I made.
In other news, I haven't been playing much because work takes up so much of my time, both physically and mentally. Even when I'm at home I'm thinking about what I'm working on at work, and I feel tired all the time. My new plan is to not stress out about poker for the rest of January, and come on hard in February trying to make Bronze Ironman. Wish me luck!
