Keep it coming, baby. Just keep it coming.

Hi there.

As you can guess, I'm still playing on UB and for what I can understand regarding the bonus unlock time, I will be staying here for a while.

So, straight to the point. I had a very good adaptation tothis games: kind of loose and with so many chips in front of each player, pots are easilly on an average 2$ - 3.5$.

For NL10 I think this is a very decent average pot value. What do you think?

I know I don't post as much hands as a poker blog suggest so I'll try to fix that in the next posts, maybe even commencing on this post.

Well, I've manage to build up to 320$ more or less and since I don't have yet ( GRRRRR ) my HM, I don't know exactly how much rake I've generated so far - since I'm playing micro, I'm sure I'm not generating a huge amount of rake but anything is good to boost the roll.

I'm very proud and happy to say that 10$ of rake would have been a blessing a few months ago but now they are just ok, think this shows how much I've grown in this game, much thanks to people I've bothered over and over again with doubts and lines of thinking throughout the hands.

So, here is the first hand.

Everyone I asked about this say easy push, easy all in, go go all in, ship that, etc.

Well, I have folded. I was positive he had me beat, I don't see many players on NL10 capable of this kind of stunt with air or a weak TP hand. Maybe he connect a two pair on the river, sure. Maybe even a SET, but with so many draws out there and with his snap calls to my bets, I was almost sure he had something like a draw or flush. Maybe a small flush, but still a flush.

RINGADINGDONK bets $4, Hero folds




Maybe this was a bad fold, maybe not. I've read somewhere that where you don't know where you are on a hand (minding reads, of course) and you have a big decision to make, sometimes the best possible move is just fold even if there is a possibility you are ahead.

Well, since I wasn't calling, I either fold or shove it.

Regarding objectives, March objective was well accomplished already and I won't redifine it again, it's done.

When we reach the end of the month, I'll try to project a realistic objectiv to April.
