Not giving up...

When I play online, I almost always muti-table somewhere between 4 and 9 tables. My ability to recognize +EV situations by floating, multi-barrell bluffs and PF 3 and 4-betting is greatly increased when I play fewer tables. The use of PAHUD with Pokertracker is essential for anyone playing more than one table considering the player base in the low stakes games.



I have been fairly conservative in trying to steal pots as I have transitioned into 100NL, but with nearly $500 in winnings (including rakeback) over the last week, it is time to turn up the heat. I look to work on my floating situations and when the opportunity is best to steal pots in position.



I still believe play has been much weaker at 100nl than 50nl with another 800+ hands added over the last two days. I have won $173.60, and look to see an increase in rakeback as I have moved up in limits. Bankroll at $8408.60.


Not letting a player float me...

I need to remember to make notes of players and their poor play...This is probably my biggest weakness...not enough notes for specific past plays. My use of the PAHUD has valuable in recognizing players to bluff, by barrelling C-Bets or PF 3-bets with rags. Going back now to make notes on this player...
