Cash Game Improvement
Not much to report…the tournament was a non-event for me. I grinded along short stacked for most of it, with few interesting hands to report. Eventually I lost the race which would have put me in the running against Professor Geoff - my 77 against A10. Geoff had already raised 30% of his stack on a similar stack to myself when I pushed, so was pretty much pot committed.
The cash game was a revelation however. I played my new style which I’ve been thinking about over the last week or so. It yielded a £350 profit - and this after blowing £260 on two hands when I didn’t re-raise pre-flop with KK. It doesn’t seem the KK strategy is working - I am giving myself reverse implied odds it seems, because I find it hard to get away from the hand.
Tom, in my opinion the best cash player at LC, didn’t play because he won the league tournament. I’m looking forward to seeing how my new style measures up against him on the cash table next week.
As always, I am loathe to talk about specific cash hands.
