Juicy Tables

I have come to the conclusion that the $.25/$.50 6 ring tables on PS are some juicy tables and I love a good morning cup of juice. I just recently started playing the 6 handed tables because the training I have been getting covers a lot on short handed tables. It does make some sense to play these tables online for a few different reasons:

1) You have less bad players to deal with (hopefully).
2) You can keep better notes on 5 players vs 8 players.
3) Easier to pick up on patterns of only 5 players.

Once you get those three things down, you can use it to your advantage against those players. It really has been working for me.

Every morning for the past week I get up and play at least 30 minutes. This is where I seem to be building my bankroll at. Not sure if it's because most of the players are from the other side of the world and they have been playing all night and are tired. Not sure if it's because the tables I have been selecting are just full on donkey's donkin' off all their money. I don't really care what the reason is. GIVE IT TO ME BABY.

The hands I have lost were basically because of bad beats, for an example this morning I had pocket rocket's against one player who pushed all his chips in for a total of around $25, of course I called his all in. He had Q10. Why in the world would someone call all their chips with Q10 off suit? Flop comes 10 10 5 on the board so of course he won... BUT about 15 minutes later, I had my $25 back from him.

I have been playing solid poker, not calling my money away on marginal hands. Not being in pots with marginal hands out of position. I can't say enough about note taking, especially for online. I now look for tables that have people I have notes on playing. I can fold my small blind and big blind if need be. I like to defend my blinds but not at the cost of my bankroll. I have taken a lot of the "gamble" out of my game, which has helped. I'm an aggressive player naturally and I have had to learn to mix my game up, change styles and notice when other players "have my number". I'm happy with my play right now.

As I said in the beginning of the blog, it's morning and my cup is about empty. Need to get in the shower and go to my real job.

Hope everyone has a great day.
