Good live sess..
I played at Riv this Sunday. Had a solid session and left with $800 profit. That offsets $260 loss the day prior at the Starlight.. both times played at the top of my game, it’s just that sometimes you can’t will a win even if your life depended on it. I think I’ll make live cash games a regular occurrence as I feel I clearly have an edge. $1/$2 tables are incredibly easy to beat on most nights.. especially if you allow for a long enough session 10hrs and up.
I also think that my SNG game is improving and I’m coming out of a mini variance dump. Still busted out of some key tournaments today vs hands I had dominated preflop (AK vs KJ, AA vs JJ etc) but didn’t allow that to tilt me, finishing in the money in a few deep SNGs for an overall profitable session (meager $80 but still..).
Here’s one hand I wanted to share with you.. SNG being all about balancing your survival needs with winning key hands, I think I played my KK in this spot as optimally as possible. I elected not to reshove an all in for my entire stack but to make a considerate reraise and see a flop in case I got a caller. I basically knew that I’d have to muck my KK on an A high flop. Key is, I win the pot on a huge % of flops but would have to abandon it on rare A high flops for sake of still having a chance to win it (with some 20BB behind).
KK in SB vs an early position all in and aggro BB
