Fighting hard to stay on track...

Quite a bit to get through, I really need to post more often rather than let it all build up and rush the quality content.

Well let me start off by telling you about a hand from last night (seeing as its fresh on my mind!).

I pick up AsKs on the button in the £1-£1 rake game.

I started my session around 10pm, its around 1am now, I am winning about £300-£350 (not that it should matter or be relative to the hand in question...but we all know that shit matters! Although it shouldn't!).

The pot is opened in early position to £5 by a big whale who I have already stacked for one buy in (£100). He has around £150 in play (I have him covered).

There is one caller (by some weird nit who I think has one leg and insists on putting his walking stick under the table -restricting my fucking leg room).

Now the big whale in question is and has been opening semi light (semi light = any two picture cards pretty much top of his range!).

So I want to extract value from my hand. I want action. I don't want to raise £20-£25 and fold out hands which this cheeky fish is ready to give me his stack with (please refer to Retard Equity Theory from previous post).

I make it £15 total, and see a flop of Qs2s5c heads up.

2 overs plus flush draw = ammmm get the fucking money in.

The whale leads out £25, leaving behind about £120 or so.

I value shove. Even with a +100bb raise I don't have fold equity with this guy, he is calling and I want a call with just under 55% equity vs any non 2 pair or better hands.

He snaps me off with QJ, and I brick turn and river. You got to win these hands -I call them session breakers. Meh, I still ended the night about £150 up even after that pot.
