After watching the last video, I was itching to play and I started to watch Phil Ivey play some 2000/4000 Limit OH H/L. He seemed to be getting killed by David Bengemine, but after a few minutes he came back and looked about break even. While I was watching, I opened up a .05/.10 NL Holdem game and watched some really bad players play. It got down to two players and I decided that I wanted to play for a few minutes.
I sat down and got bluffed into me a few times when I had the goods. I also over bet the pot on the river with my made flush. So in about 15mins I made $25 on the NL10 tables. It felt good to win and feel like you are in control of the table.
One of the things I am trying to do is not get “married” to a hand. That is really hard for me to do. Even with my winning section, I found myself getting married to a hand when my opponent showed strength. Lucky for me, they were bluffing every time, but I need to learn to lay the hand down more and allow myself to get bluffed off a hand.
I did not go over my notes from the two video during this short section because it was not planned. I was planning on just watching, but these players were so bad that I felt like I needed to sit down for a few minutes and play. My next section, I will have the notes ready and try to implement more of the strategies from it.
