Still Grinding

Put in a short successful session today and did decent yesterday as well. I'm starting to get some comments which is good and I've tried to get around to some of the other CR blogs as well.

Forums are a good place to post your hands and receive feedback but I think blogs help out tremendously. For people who don't do a good job reviewing hands and going over their sessions, writing every few days about poker can help immensely. And having groups of people shadow each other can't hurt either.

Made a small profit yesterday during the day through only 100 hands or so with some hands coming later that night. I didn't play much longer today but made a nice run. There was one player who rivered me a few times for decent pots but when all the money went in today, the best hand held up. Pretty much all of my profit today came in a 30 minute span, I was basically break even yesterday and late last night, or early morning I should say.

I think I played this hand poorly. I don't like playing short stacks with $40 or less. I've been seeking out stacks between $50 and $80 and full stacked fish that I have stats on. Stack size was the problem here. I don't know what the ideal play would be on this hand. Calling the flop and raising like this seem bad. I didn't want to fold it though. What would you do?

This guy didn't raise a lot preflop but his postflop play was bad and maniac like. This flop is just too drawy for me not to go with this hand against this player.

Took all of five minutes to stack this guy. I really didn't know if my hand was good here with his overshove. Often those shoves show a lot of strength.

Don't know how much I'll get in tomorrow, but I'll have a Week 1 report up this weekend with a screenshot. I've logged almost 6,000 hands so far this week.
