I logged on again yesterday for a couple of short cash sessions on Mansion.
A $40 win before supper followed by a $60 losing session after. I was playing pretty aggressively pre-flop during both sessions - it worked in the first but not the second.
Got buggered with Ks v Js when he flopped trips and I called his river raise.
Loosening up is a much harder style to play as if it goes past the flop you need to be very careful of slowplayers and willing to deal with the swings.
You also need to tilt your foes enough to get them to call you down when you have the goods.
This is a BIG problem when they are all multi-tabling, not paying much attention and playing boring ABC poker. During the weekday evenings, this happens a lot and for the life of me I can't really think of way to beat them except follow suit, tighten up and grind. Yawn!
I'm off to New York tomorrow for three days through work. Never been and can't wait to visit - gonna do a bit of shopping and drink myself silly on free mojitos (all expenses baby!).
Will play a little tonight before my 5.45am taxi to Heathrow. Urgh!

oh no looks like markie mark has got the bug. remember, just cuz you're winning doesn't mean you don't have a problem :-)
hear what you're saying about the grind. boooooooooooring. logged in and tried to play a couple of tournies last night and it was all just everyone going all-in pre-flop when they had a hand and folding everything else. not much fun at all. and also didn't lead to me winning anything.
much prefer the live cash games. been playing with chris at the local casinos a bit more. had two big nights in a row so of course i have illusions of grandeur now. all that means is that i'm due for a true and proper slap-down. come back out to praha and we'll go play together. just pretend you don't know me :-)
