Ok so that didn't work

So apparently barreling these lagtards who NEVER fold to 3bs is a bad idea. It's not like I don't know they flop 2pair+ on me every single time! I don't care what good strategy is anymore, my account isn't the same as some of the higher stakes players, it's that simple. They either flop the world with their gutter trash or else they decide to call me down for all their chips regardless of what hand they have, regardless of how little I've 3b them, and regardless how scary the board is....



Like how in the world does the dude call that river shove with a weak 2 pair on that board??? I knew he would snap me preflop with anything he had, I knew he was weak, I knew he couldn't call that river....oh wait.

If he has just 2nd pair there I'm positive he calls both flop and turn bets. Of course he had to have 2 pair, and at no point was he ever letting go of that monster.

It's possibly a better idea to just call there on the flop, but I was tilted and he'd been isolating a lot. Obviously it's a standard fold preflop, but I knew he was a fish and I had position on him. I also knew he wouldn't believe anything I did given the last hand we played. Dude is a reg at 10nl, he's a losing reg but I find it hard to believe anyone could call that river shove in the last hand after playing as many hands as he has done at that level. I guess there's a very good reason people like him are stuck at 10nl.

Just like this guy who clearly puts everyone on overs. I think it was the 2nd time I had 3b in like 200 hands, he was running at 16/8 too. I really just don't understand what's going through some people's minds....

Anyway, lesson learnt, I need to realize how bad some of these guys actually are and just wait for hands and value town them.

I do know this, and up to tonight I've kept my patience, but a combination of running poorly and trying to increase my aggression got me in trouble tonight. I was 7 BI's down at one point, managed to get it back to - 3 BI's then misread another aggro donk with AK high and shipped it on his massive turn raise on a 5566 board. He has a 5 obviously.

So 4 BI's down for the session. Standard obviously, but it was my worst session at 10nl thus far, made worse by my own tilty/bad play. I reckon I dropped a further 2 BI's from pure tilt. Something that I thought I had under control of late. Oh well.

On a positve note I shipped a $50 stella reward during the session, I waited until after I'd finished to cash it in, and realized that I had a further two $50 stella rewards waiting for me! I'm really not sure how I missed those lol. So after being -$80 at one point tonight, I actually ended up +$110.

Funny how things turn out sometimes :)
