September 20, 2009, 12PM: Played 5 hours at Planet Hollywood
$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

Finally a winning session.  Was up almost a buyin after playing well for a couple hours then had a couple rough hands... ended up with it all in with overpair QQ to a board with a flush draw.  the guy calls and turns out he was open ended and was on a flush draw, he hit his straight on the river.  I bought in again short and ended up switching to a weaker table and built it back up with well timed aggression. i was happy that i was very careful some hands that could have damaged me real bad today.

$20 Buy-In No-Limit Texas Hold'em Tournament (2nd out of 6 Players)

Good easy game, Alex ended up winning after he made a couple great calls against me. I think one of my bluffs was ill timed as the river bluff just made no sense considering the board.  I don't remember the situation exactly, I need to choose my spots better.

$2 No-Limit Texas Hold'em

tough table, first hand i played was QQ utg, pussied out after the flop had an A and i slowed down and villain raises big.  i put him on KK/AA and folded and he proudly said TT.  put me on tilt then really aggro guy two to my left made a gangster call on me and ate up rest of my buy in. next buyin hit a straight which made the other guys flush and then another big one he obviously made his flush after i had made a straight on the turn and that was that... shitty, combination of some bad plays and bad luck = a losing session.

slump

looking at my log lately and trying to figure out where i'm going wrong.  i think i've loosened my starting hand requirements a little too much having been luckily rewarded by some questionable plays.  i know I've also had a handful of instances where i was eager to get my money in with the best hand too early in the hand only to be drawn out on.  i need to start being more mathematical and only betting enough to have them make a mistake by calling and if i get drawn out on then i at least have the opportunity to fold.  i guess long term i'd come ahead with the strategy of getting it in while i'm ahead, but i don't think my bankroll can take it.  my strategy for the next few sessions is to tighten back up.  i don't think i have the live hand history and experience to be playing as loose as i have been.
