Day 3

Last session at Paradise poker. 3 tables of .5/1 limit holdem for around 4 hours. Again, tonight went well.
I was up $32 for the session, and cleared $40 in bonus. Total playing profit is $57.50, total profit $157.50.

I've already exceeded my target for week one, but I will continue to play for a total of at least 5 evenings this week, and every week.

Paradise is certainly one of the softer sites to play on, and large average pots help clear the bonus quickly, but I dont think other poker rooms will be as easy to beat. My play has been pretty solid for the last 2 nights, room for improvement tonight was in my value betting, bet a few times where I shouldntve, and checked when I had the best of it, this only happened in less than a handful of occasions, but they all add up!

I've been reading up a lot about limit holdem, tonight I was always bearing in mind what Ive learnt, but played more like how I felt was right. It wasnt like ''I have pocket tens, I 'know' how to play this'', just playing by feel really. Ive not been slowplaying anything, at the Paradise tables people are happy to call along with whatever random draw they have, and I dont remember checkraising once. I like the checkraise play, but think I might have overused it, not that I used it much, at higher limits I like to use it as a resteal on the flop when its heads up sometimes, but it tends to backfire, so with a big hand I generally go for the weak lead hoping it gets raised behind me.

Not sure where i'll be playing tomorrow, think I might have to raise the stakes, but that means 'rock city'. I think its time I started to beat these games, and now seems like a good time!
