What the hell happened to my stack?! I went up with the finish to just under 300, and it seems I have been bad-beaten back down to pre win levels. Well, lots of dumb decisions. And one extra horrid live bad beat from Chuck. Never mind. Back at 'em. It's hard to be positive when you get here.
But I do have good news: I saved a bunch... Sorry. sorry. I really do have good news. I decided to sit in a 5+1 and a 11+1 game and bluff a hell of a lot more. Not by over betting the pot, but bluffing by continuously attacking the pot with bets of just under 1/2 to 2/3rds the pot. I tried this with 96off. Wouldn't you know it, my bluff was 'ruined' when I hit the straight. I attacked again, and the fellow folded. The good news is that by playing the maniac, I did so much better and had a lot more fun!
Whoa, I just had an epiphany. It's time for me to reread Doyle's NL betting style, take cues from Hansen and utilize the mastery of Harrington. I'm playing Harrington's style as solid as it is, leaves my stack a little short. I need to aggressively build a stack to be able to have that cushion to allow myself to have bad beats, and still survive. More on this later
