Tells on $2 sng's.....

Dont recall it ever happening for me before but was at a table with someone i had written notes on b4. Checkedhim out on sharkescope whilst playing and saw he had played over 2000 games with no profit. He managed to get lucky and nearly double up early then called anything. luckily i picked up qq when he still was big stack. Basically i raised roughly 3 time bb and he goes allin. I took timer to call. May sound silly but was at table yesterday with aces and two others had kk n qq . so i called he turned over 74 lol. Bit of banter and i told him that id played him b4 and made notes. He told me i need to update them lol. prolly right actually. add utter crap to it!!

I try to play hands differently and i dont know if somtimes this could be a down fall at this level. At this level players usually make a pot size bet if they got the hand, so easy fold for me. I somtimes play this way without a hand. (continuation bet) Other players dont fold and will take down pot with middle pair. Id understand at higher level but not here. god nows where im going with this o i'll end this here lol

Headsup on on one table. Guy seemed ok for this level and didnt make that many mistakes, Little to easy to read sumtimes though. and i had to explain to him that when 3 were left the 3rd guy just wasnt there. so told him not to raise me or play me and vice versa. so even chip count and could play bit of poker due to blinds being still small due to me running over the table early on:) and last two hands were nearlt identically i actually pick up top pair after flop so make pot bet he called flop then i pot the turn and he folded. Last hand i again pot bet river to make 1200pot and i agian bet 1200 where i took last pot down. which in the past i would of changed bet because of previous hand but thought hey he folded last time. Bet he doesnt believ me. so he called turn as well + river and i become massive cheap lead. and win it. So where in the past i would of tried to be too clever and change bet sizes to not be identical. in this case when its heads up this play wud work perfectly for you. I know any half decent player that might ever see this knows this but i am learning dont forget :)

Getting back on track

First of all - My nan is still in intensive care. Not sure whats up with her. We are hearing a different story everyday. Last i heard wqas a doctor said she hada heart failure which is bit ironic coz its exact same as my dad was in hospital earlier this year for. All his kidneys were working so blood was flowing ok so he was able to survive. My nan is different story. Bin going to hospital most days and everytime it seems a shock seeing her like that.

Changing subject completely i have been the whole of November without a drink which im pretty proud. It seriously is a hard thing to do if you have been drinking near enough every weekend since you were old enough!! Two reasons im doing it is 1.saving some money for xmas. 2.Well coz i know how much drink i will consume during December. Wanted to use the time to do more work. and learn more and play more poker. Been reading Harrington on Holdem volume 1. Been little bit boring if im honest. In my case players just call me no matter how much i bet. Did just watch Rizens Sunday millians win video off his blog. Pro's are so good lol, if anything he enjoyed it more when he didnt have a hand because he just liked the fact that he could study the other players. When i fold i turn my head and watch a little telly lol. Something i need to learn if i wanna play higher and also wanna get a tourney win under my belt sooo bad!! tbh i wouldnt mind if it was a 45 man sng.

Really wish i would of used my poker account as a saving account over the last 8 months. would of made quite abit on the curent exchange rate.

Played 6 tonight won 1 and finished 2nd in 3 which aint the worst result i guess. 1 more win would of been nicer :)

My blogs are so fucking boring lol
