1/2 Update

So ... after taking some massive hits at 2/4 I've decided to come back down to 1/2 and rebuild my bankroll. One of the things I noticed is that I play some of my draws way too aggressively. People end up calling with just top pair, no kicker, and I get burned. I also overplayed AK quite a bit. Those are two leaks I've gotta address at 1/2 before going back to 2/4. I also have to figure out how to get the max out of my good hands - something I'm not fully doing.

Here is an example where I used a blocking bet to cause the guy to shove his stack. I insta-called and just hoped he didn't have a 9: http://www.pokerhand.org/?798476

I think 4-betting him on the flop was correct. I also think checking the turn was correct.

Finally, I have to start bluffing a little more in opportune situations.

Here are two spots where I feel I made the correct laydown:

Aces, 4-bet pre-flop: http://www.pokerhand.org/?798486

Queens, 3-bet pre-flop: http://www.pokerhand.org/?798488
