I am not sure if i have mentioned it here , but over the last few weeks i have been
trying to refine my play. I been reading verneers blog for a long while now and i always notice that his winning sessions are relatively bigger compared to the number of hands he has played
This got me thinking that he must be doing something fundamentally different ( obviously !! ) whilst playing . I re read a few of his blogs and studied a video again and got back to the playing for stacks thing .
I'm sure he is prepared to play more against some players than others . So i started to pay more attention to particular players who's hud stats were v loose and whose play seemed weak .
I'm not saying i was going to go all in against these players with any 2 cards , but certainly i would be more aggressive , and if i thought i was ahead of their range i would certainly be more prepared to play for stacks !!
Anyway it seems to be reaping rewards . I have had a winning weekend so far despite a massive tilt incident !! .This is one of the intangibles that Dice talks about in the little interview with Verneer .
Here's how it goes . Got home Friday Night , my eyes were very tired after a busy day on the computer all day , but looking forward to playing poker , After tea i have to get my boy to bed but we spend some time together before hand FIFA 2002 is our game at the moment , We plat 2002 as its the last FIFA with the mighty LEEEEEEDS on it . He thrashes me as usual !! Then its a bath and bedtime story . We are on Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince at the moment . We have a deadline of Xmas Eve to finish it but maybe a chapter or two away realistically . So we read two chapters in an effort to get on schedule
By this time my eyes are fucked i mean they really hurt , i spend a few hours with my wife chatting , she goes to bed , i watch a bit of WWE , research for my boy . he likes to know whats going on !!! lol !!!
Eventually i decide to go and play some poker , get 3 50nl tables up and start playing . The screen seems really bright tonight for some reason !! ( Duuhhh... you re eyes fucked and glasses no where to be found ) Getting a little impatient so i fire up a 100nl . im not sure what time it is but i have dimmed the screen and turned the light off so i shut down a couple of 50 nl and just have 1 50nl and 1 100nl
No action...eyes hurting...the player on my right is pissing me off... i can feel the tilt already whilst writing this !! ) Ahh JJ this will piss him off... The short stacks playing as well . MMM not sure i like the flop . What... hes bet fuck it ill call... Hes bet again...fuck it ill call . Jesus my eyes are really hurting . Fuck me the short stacks all in. Hes called AAAhh Fuck it ALL IN....Shit hes got KK
Computer off
here's the hand

No thought here ... pure tiredness and shit play
anyway that's how i donked off $100
back to the weekend and after Friday night i got back into my new style , attacking some weak players and winning instead of donking off chips
So after that long story here's where we are
Opening Bankroll $1 438.92
Hands 4302
Dollars WON/lost $ 332.78
Closing Bankroll $ 1 771.70
one i am really pleased about here is that last night i won a $100 pot at 100nl to even out the one i lost on Friday so im even at 100nl . This means my winnings here are purely at 50 nl so i think thats good
Anyway maybe the last post before xmas , but be sure to check out Inspirions blog on cr aod Dodgygykens and Verneers , these guys are definitely people we can learn from big time
good luck the tables

LOL, I can definitely relate to a lot of your post...playing when too tired...making plays you know are too spewy if you would just think about it...somehow devleoping despite it all. I've been reading Verneer's blog a lot as well...insightful stuff, and you're right he's got a slightly-but-importantly different slant to this game. I'll have to check out the other guys'. Have a great holiday.
Ill give my comments on this another time.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
