$6K in 100D: Day3
I have not been playing any Poker since the last post, so I'm only going to count today as day 3. But from now on every calendar day is going to count towards my goal. Realistically I dont think I can even play 2 hours a day on weekedays... Work is really stressful and I just dont have the mental energy to do it. I'll shoot for about an hour a day.
Here are today's results
Session1: 2 Hour (.5/1 NL) +50
Session2: 1 Hour (3 SNGs) -12 Lost Lost 2nd
I'm starting to notice a leak in my game... I was involved in a pot today: HAd AK bet 3 got reraised by a loose agressive player to about 10. I call. Flop comes TTJ I fire 14 bucks he cold calls...
Turn comes a blank... I put him on a Jack and no ten (ten would raise the flop for value, overpair woulda raised to know where he's at)... or maybe he may have even had AQ or AK himself, drawing... So I go all in for about 55 more... (I dont think i sold this bluff well... I didnt hesitate long enough)
This play in theory is the right play considering my read is correct... however in cash games... the risk/reward is not favorable for a bluffer (on big pots) at all.
The guy calls with J9...
Now I'm not going to dog him for making this call.. he may have had a read... but then this call loses money at least half of the time... so it's fair to say that that was a loose call on his part.
Still a bluff with 50/50 chance of success is not a good bluff... considering if the guy calls I lose 50+ more and if he folds I win whatever the pot is ... aobut 50 at this point.
In this case my read was right... and I did have the AKQ as outs (10 outs) ... but still it was not a good bluff. I got stacked that hand for about 100 chips when the river came blank.. thats about all my profit for the first session... and really i did it to myself.
Oftentimes I put a guy on a hand that is not even close to the best, so I represent the better hand expecting him to fold... but everyone is different, and some people are not going to make the laydown.... and I've lost a lot of big pots this way. Thus- this is a leak in my game.

Not a bad play on the semi bluff. I would have probably bet 3/4 of the pot to show him that I am committed 2 it. Or you could have repopped him preflop if he is a LAG player. Remember only 2 hands really dominate you with AK preflop.
