Played well both sessions, good concentration etc. Just been deep in an FTOPs, cashed for $1600 but was near chip lead with 70 left from 5000 and decided to call down with KQ hi over 3 streets. Just freaked out and screwed up basically.... musn't dwell though, I'm going to use this disappointment positively and play a top session now.

One piece of analysis from my cash game session is that I need to stop doing this:

$2/$4 Ante $0.75 No Limit Holdem • 5 Players

UTG	ChkRazed	$400
CO	pschni	$224.05
BTN	Hero	$1,330.05
SB	WhoIsThisGuy	$400
BB	martina65	$380.25

• Pre-Flop ($9.75, 5 players)Hero is BTN

2 folds, Hero raises to $12, 1 fold, martina65 calls $8

• Flop ($29.75, 2 players)

• Turn ($133.75, 2 players)

• River ($393.75, 2 players)
• 

martina65 bets $185.50, Hero calls $185.50

• Final Pot: $764.75

• Hero shows
• 

• martina65 shows
• 

• martina65 wins $761.75 (net +$381.50)
• Hero lost $380.25

What am I doing in the above? I'm raise folding the turn, 'cos some players are just never shoving draws and so I get value from draws whilst losing the same vs value hands as I would calling turn and river. However, stacks have to be MUCH deeper for this, I basically keep forcing myself into a river call through poor planning.

Session 5 coming up.... just a short 45 minutes or so, just want to go to bed happy with myself instead of dwelling on ftops....
