December 20th - Finally blogging on a new PC
Monthly goal: Starting again!
I'm at $1.609
Yesterday was great, I played well and got some cards too. I played very aggressively, pushing into medium sized pots and forcing opponents into spots where they could make big mistakes. I almost forgot how playing fast was profitable at lower limits.
Today I have mostly just been tinkering with my new computer. It has been a long struggle, but I am happy to say it's finally up and running.
My new computer is finally up and runningI think I started working on getting a new computer almost half a year ago. I've had several obstacles on my way. Firstly my idea of water cooling didn't work out. Secondly I returned one complete PC to a shop, because I wasn't happy with it. Lastly I've had trouble with a power supply cord being too short and setting up a RAID 0 system properly.
The end product was worth it though. I'm writing this entry on my new computer, in a quiet serenity of a silent yet powerful system. The whole ordeal set me back almost $2.000. That may seem expensive for most of you, but here in Faroe Islands large shipping costs are a burden we have to live with and $2.000 is a very fair price for a high-end new computer.
I am looking forward to playing some poker on the new rig, hopefully it will bring me as much success or more than my old one.
AQo on the Button: I don't know if I should have folded this turn or if I should have called on the river. My opponent acted fast on all streets and on the river I thought her most likely holding was a flush, a set or KQo with the King of Clubs. So I went with it and decided to fold.
I was pretty sure she had a strong hand and wasn't on a semi-bluff on the turn and she really isn't giving me odds to draw for the flush, if those are my only outs.

Hey dude,
It's good to see you blogging again more frequently and that your bad run seems to be easing off.
Congrats with your new system as well.
I would have folded to that river bet too. I don't think it is weak, I think you are most likely beaten.

Hi Celdar
I agree about the river fold. I Would like to know what you think about the turn though.
Thanks for rooting for me :)

Ehm, to be honest my gut feeling is that she holds KQ with the K of clubs. It depends on reads, but I would probably have played the hand the way you played it, i.e. called on the turn.
Her play confuses me a bit though. You have cold called the turn on a flush board, and then she goes all in on the river as if she does not fear the flush.
