Steady as she goes

While I continue to miss days blogging, I have yet to miss a day of grinding. The last few days have all been good sessions. My Saturday night into Sunday morning session was both good and bad. It was good, in that I got hit in the face with the deck. I flopped enough monsters to scare Vincent Price. However I was disappointed in how I played a hand on the river. I made 2 pair on the turn of a very drawy board. When a very obvious flush hit I could have checked the turn in position to hopefully boat up on the river. Instead I bet into two people, got check raised and had to fold. Terrible play.

I told myself that I was betting for value. The truth was, that on a drawy board with three to a flush, a worse than 2 pair hand was never calling here. I'm disappointed that I spewed on the river like that.

Another area where I need to improve is in extracting value from my good hands. My bet sizing was off on three different sets which meant that I did not get maximum value. It was a profitable session but I have to work on bet sizing and river play.

I am pleased that I am playing consistently and the results have been good but I stil have a lot of work to do with my game.
