Playing a little better this week. Still bluffing to much but folding more hands. Played at a table last night with a guy who was getting a little tired of me bluffing so much, mostly because I bluffed him off a side pot to my advantage but much to his disadvantage. He then proceeded to tell me what an idiot I was for bluffing so much. "And yet you still don't call" says I.

Of course the time when folks did call I had pocket Aces. Picked up a good pot there. Finally I said to him "If you don't like my bluffing wait til you see my donkey work." The next hand I had pocket 3 and he went allin with pocket 10, I called, for maybe 10% of my chips. I caught my set on the turn and he went out, got canned as they say over to http://poker.milbestlight.com.

It was sweet.

A word about http://www.milbestlight.com. I like playing there. It's free the play is improving but not much. I'm afraid I'm not helping that much. And they are still giving away a seat at the WSOP each week. That ends soon but I'm hoping that they will revive it when the stats come in. Especially if people move away from the other online sites that may be suffering from the recent legislation.

Been playing like a drunken sailor of late. I can see people have me beat. They are betting like they've got me beat and still I bet into them. fortunatly on Saturday I played against someone else who was having the same problem. He had himself convinced that he was unbeatable. He even put a bounty on his head for the first person to take him out of a game. So Saturday night was a freeroll after I took Doug out. Good thing to cause Fred kicked my butt.

Three handed tourney's are a bit out of my comfort zone. But I managed. Doug wasn't at his best and Fred was just sitting back and letting Doug and I go at it. I finally lost to Fred when it turned out he actually did pair the Ace on the flop and my pocket Jacks just weren't enough.

Well I am not sure at all what's happening with the new legislation. It's been suggested that even by pointing you to a sight that I'm an accessory to a crime. I hope not. But then I don't think that's a real problem for me right now.

But that's not what this is about. Did you ever have one of those weeks where you could do nothing wrong. All your bluffs worked. You had no bad beats. and all your draws went your way. And even when things went poorly you were so far ahead that it didn't matter. That was last week for me. I was patient. The cards went my way. I got lot's of respect from the other players. I was playing in a series of short tourneys at Milwaukee's best light sight for a chance at one of their WSOP seats. I was in like Flynn I was gonna play in their final the next day and I stopped playing to soon. I thought the count stopped at Midnight Saturday and it ended 6am Sunday and I missed by 800 points.

Which brings me to this week. I started by playing like a drunken sailor. Fortunately I stopped what was quickly becoming a trainwreck. Yesterday I played slightly better but I wasn't waiting long enough for the cards and when I did bad beats abound. Same today. I raise up the pot by 1.5 times and somebody with a 64 suited decides he wants to play because he's in position. I hit the K on my AK on the flop and come in with a big raise again. This guy hits his 4 and decides to stay in the turn comes down an A I go all in, this should be a major clue for this guy and he calls and hits the trip four on the river. This is how my week is going.

What should I learn from this. Continue to be patient. The reason my bluffs worked last week is that I only played quality cards.
