Lately, I have been trying to do more table selection, and adding on to my stack if a fish at the table manages to get a stack of 150bb or more. This led to some small successes, but some large losses too.
I also recently signed up for Black Chip Poker, where they have 27% rakeback. I don't know if that is a good amount of rakeback, but I have never had it before, so I was a little excited about it. Anyway, I was being a little cheeky and decided to play a little bit of 25nl, and lost my temper on a fella who 3bet my CO steals 3 orbits in a row. I called a 3bet of his with KJs, and shoved his cbet with TPGK. He flipped over AJs; and held up to the river. I left the table immediately.
I am reminded of one of my classmates from Brock University, who would study like crazy, and when the results of a test were not perfect, he felt like he was being cheated; that he was entitled to 100% because he struggled so hard. I guess I have the same problem; thinking that because I spend so much time reading and studying poker, that I should be crushing the games. What you end up with is me double barreling a 4-flush board with two black aces, and shoving over a turn raise from a loose-passive player. And I wonder why right now I am breaking even.
I will adjust to playing pseudo-static opening and 3bet ranges, and no deep stacking at 5NL until I have a 50BI bankroll (250USD). Deep stacking at 2NL is acceptable.
Anyway, I have a presentation to prepare and a midterm to study for.
Wish me luck.
