Possible week off...?

My wife and I are house sitting for the next week and I don't really want to set poker software up on someone else's computer so I might not be playing much in the next week. I will still be looking at your blogs starting up again on Monday, but this weekend is super busy for us with some friends in town.

I played 45-50 minutes this morning and thought I played well. Of course I still lost on Full Tilt when I got stacked with AA (Ad) vs. QdJd on an all diamond flop. I thought I played well other than that and one frustrated bad bluff at the end of that session. I think I played very well on Bodog and ended up half a buyin. One thing I tried to do more of this morning was play aggressively from the blinds when everyone shows weakness (button limp, for instance) and I have something reasonable. I don't want to overdo it, but making a big raise can make it less obvious when I raise AA or KK from the blinds if I do it with a wider range...also they hit the flop so little that c-bets take down some easy pots and I think doing this will increase my profits. Something to think about, as before I played so ultra ultra tight from the blinds (hate being OOP obv) but I think some well-timed aggression can help a lot.

Anyways, I'll try to keep posting on your blogs, so post some good stuff. Good luck and hopefully I'll be back posting my own stuff soon.

One good spot to raise light out of the blinds is when 3 or 4 people limp. Your raise would then be 4xbb+1 per limper, so like 8 bbs, which looks very strong and is a lot to call for each individual person (7 bbs each), but is actually just a pot sized bet.

A break from playing poker can be no bad thing at times.

I try and take a day off a week to give me a break and every now and then instead of playing I will try and study the game a bit to try and improve
