Great Breakeven Session

Nah, it's not a joke. I feel like I played wonderfully but took some bad beats. For one example, I was deepstacked and ran into AA with my KK. In fact, I had KK twice and lost about $40 with it, once when someone set up on a drawy under flop, and once with the AA. It happens. And I am fine with that, in fact I feel good. I feel like I'm learning some better places to bet with marginal hands, and varying my CBs according to flop texture, so I'm losing less and gaining more when people flop monsters against me. I also lost a considerable amount with a double barrel, but the spot where I did so I think was a wonderful place to do so.

I figure that it's not great to always post me biggest loser hand, because then when people read it all they're gonna think is "wow, he's about to lose". So rather I'll post big hands which were interesting, whether they're winners or losers. On a different note, I also updated my HUD today so it shows fold/call/raise CBs. A very useful stat I believe, but one that you need many hands on a player for it to be useful. I also updated it so it shows my own stats while I play, so I can play based on my image better. Notice I don't say "more", because most players are not thinking players at this level. I could only play my image against a reg.

My KK vs. AA was a net -24.35, but obviously I'm not posting that. So here goes:

Huh. I'm going to post this on 2p2 to see what they think. I think this is a good spot to double barrel though... we'll see what others think.
