Session 1*

* Sessions getting reset this month to reflect new house/ computer/ hem.

Hands: 891
Net Win: $1881

This session was a bit of a revelation. The revelation, essentially, was that I remembered how I used to so beat up on the samey same regs so successfully. This session I played 31/27 with a 3bet of 15%.... and managed to fuse the monkeyness of my old winning ways with the concentration and attitude of my recent blogging efforts.





I had forgotten just how rewarding it can be to apply unrelenting pressure preflop in the form of 3bets and squeezes.... rewarding because some regs never adjust, and the ones that do are immediately taken out of their comfort zone. The beauty is that they are the ones adjusting to me, and as such I'm the one in control able to take my foot off the gas when needed, and the one who will always be one step ahead in the adjustment game.

After my session found this in the Ub regs thread, lol.

What the above all comes down to is the virtuous circle (not my term), whereby the unrelenting nature of the aggression means I win a million small pots, and also get paid in the big ones that matter. Thus the circle is: win small pots, lose some medium ones, win the big pots.
So, as well as everything else I'm going to be concentrating on applying pressure. This doesn't mean 3bet every hand and triple barrel everything with numbers on it.... it means in a controlled sense, and being aware of the reg's tipping point whereby I have to re-adjust and stay one step ahead.

Some winning hands from today, after I'd established my image... not amazing hands or anything, just designed to show that in each of these spots I make no money if I'm perceived as a nit or even 'standard'.
