Bad plays!

I had been waiting to post because I was trying to find a reason to why I didn’t finish up well. I don’t want to make any excuses. The truth is my overconfidence in the previous 12 got to my head and I pushed a few hands incorrectly. So here I divide last night’s session into the first twelve and the last twelve.

The first twelve, I played really well and reached the money 5/12 times. Most impressive was my in the money results. Four 1st place finishes and one 3rd. My ROI sky rocketed to 50%. It was sweet, but it got to my head.

The last six, I started playing well, but made plays I wasn’t making after the first three levels and I only placed in one out of six. Here are the hands that got me in trouble; I won’t spend much time discussing them.

This is a tough hand, and I am not sure if I would have played it any differently. This is one of two hands I don’t think I made a mistake.

This is a hand where I needed to push as my image was tight and my M was below 5. I could have played a bit tighter and waited for a better hand since there was another stack.

This is a huge mistake this early. Even though I am in position, I don’t think the blinds justify this push as I only get called by hands that are better. The fact that we are seven handed should have also made me fold this hand.

Oh my! Oh my! I don’t know why I keep making plays like this. Call me retarded as my bluff runs into Quads.

I don’t mind the push because of my M below 5. However, I realized it was the wrong play because we were still seven handed and my position sucked. I got a nice call but I didn’t win the race.

So here you see why I didn’t play well. Every hand could’ve been played differently, but I am moslty upset about the last three. I shall fix them in today’s sessions.
