Message: [QUOTE="Matt Vaughan, post: 2309387, member: 34747"] Thanks Sand - you're right (as usual). It took me a little bit longer than it usually does to bounce back from a bad loss last night, but I did eventually end up feeling okay about it. I'm obviously not EXCITED about my bankroll situation, but I'm excited to get back into the mix. Though I think I may try to focus on some study before I get back to the live scene again. I also think that last session was good, because I had a few lessons hammered home a bit more. Particularly as Sand is mentioning about people usually having what they are representing. There were two spots in particular that were very tough for me. One spot, I iso'd with KK and got 3 callers. I cbet on a T84 two tone board and a short stack raised all in. I had this frustrating feeling that I was guaranteed to be beat (the player SEEMED to be on the tighter side so far, and hadn't done much betting postflop), but the board was so draw-heavy that I couldn't get myself to fold getting 4:1. He had top set and I lost. The other spot, I raised AKo in a straddled pot and got 3 callers again. The flop was a favorable AQ5, two tone again. It checked to me, I bet about 60% pot, and someone check-raised all-in for $50 more (I was getting 2.6:1 this time). He was an unknown, and I begrudgingly made the call. The river brought a flush, but that was irrelevant, as he turned over AQ for flopped top two. I also ran a few bluffs where I got people to tank with the absolute tops of their ranges, but in the end got called down. All in all I think they were good spots, and I may post them a little later, since I don't post a ton of my bluff lines here. Just a quick shoutout to Sand for being awesome and listening to my rants as they occur in the moment when I feel the shittiest. I'm sure they're sometimes funny, but they're sometimes def just annoying, so thanks for putting up with me. I'm hurt but not beaten, knocked down but I'm getting back up. Unfortunately my schedule gets very crazy for the next couple weeks, but hopefully I'll get some poker study in at a minimum, and maybe some grind time too. [/QUOTE]
