October/November Review

by DeuceSeven on 12/16/08

This was really the tale of 2 completely different months. After having record profit months in August and September I followed up with another record month in October. October was looking really gruesome as I had almost zero cashes then I had a session where I got deep in 3 mtts. I finished in the top 30 of a 33/10k for around a $100 cash. I finished 2nd in a stars 16.50 for $950 and 6th in a stars 55/70k for 3k. I feel like I left alot of money on the table as I didn’t tighten up with my opening range nor did I loosen up my 4 betting range in teh 70k and just straight up played way too laggy. Part of the reason is the $16.50 ft took forever, especially when we were 3 handed. I was pretty unlucky to finish 2nd. I got it in vs the other good player and lost to a 3 outer and the bad player who was left kept donking off most of his stack then getting lucky. HU vs the good player I just didn’t tighten up. As a whole I should’ve tightened up around the ft bubble of the 70k as the field was very soft at the ft.

November was like October except I had no cashes over $104. After such a good October I moved up my average buy in and had my worse month ever. Not much to say other then I ran like dogshit. I reviewed my play and I’ve studied some videos and have shored up a couple of leaks such as not stealing enough in lp and not cbetting often enough when I steal and miss the flop in position. I’ve also stopped restealing as often. Obv I’ll still find spots to resteal but why put a 25bb stack at risk when you can steal winning small pots with little risk of losing your stack or get a chance to get your stack in with way the best of it.

More blogs to come in the next week.
