Hand 1, 20/40
Fishy limps, old school tag raises, a cold-call, I call in the blind with the mighty 74o, we see a flop of:
K63r
I check, fishy checks, old school bets, a fold and I...Raise! Fishy folds, tag folds, I pat myself on the back for a job well done. The play took awareness (fishy wasn't that interested) and cognition (old school will bet/fold a huge portion of his range on this board, giving me credit for exactly a king). Yah.
Hand 2, 40/80
Bad player limps, I raise, tag-fish calls, button calls, 4 ways. I have kings by the way.
932dd
Bad player donks, I raise, tag-fish snap calls, button calls, donker calls, I cringe. Tag-fish pretty much has a set of 3s or 2s here always, as I think he'd 3-bet a flush draw. There is a chance he has pocket tens, however, so I must bet/fold the turn to make sure.
Jr
I bet, tag fish raises, button calls, bad player folds, I fold. The river is a card and tag-fish shows the 333. This play isn't extremely difficult or anything, but it does qualify as a hero fold that, when playing poorly, I am unable to make. Like here...
Hand 3 40/80
Lady who just crushes me opens UTG but like 6 handed, I defend the QJcc
A44cc
I c/r which is probably bad in and of itself right from the start. She calls. I cringe and try to figure out what to do when:
Qr
Seems like I still have a value bet, right? Fail. There is no value, whatsoever. She will play perfectly against my bet, and the only hands I even remotely want folding are gut shots which I'd imagine she'd have snap folded on the flop. I suppose I beat QT, but again, I don't think that's even getting here. Anyway, I value bet.
Jr
I check/call like a fish, see the A6o, rack up and go home.
Seeing my play deteriorate like that was a little disheartening, to be blunt. I like to believe that I am capable of playing well for an entire day, but it's possible I've been lying to myself all this time. And tonight's horrible sleep definitely isn't going to help, so I guess the plan for today is just to take it one hour at a time, take lots of breaks, and try not to fight too dirty against my money.
