The Mojo is back

I finally have put a winning streak together after a few weeks. Small potatoes as of yet, but a win streak none the less. I analyzed my play and realized that I only needed to make some small adjustments which were:1.Fold more often 2. bet/raise more often 3.fold more often. Let us analysis.

1 Fold more often. I was playing too many hands out of position (not many, but a few 1 hand every two round adds 5% to your VPIP). So I just tightened up my starting requirements in early to middle position. I pretty much stick to the recommendations in SSHE.

2 Bet/Raise more often. I had gotten passive. The key to winning is selective aggression. Now when I think I have the best hand I bet or raise. I had been value betting before, but now with betting and raising, I am also able to get information

3 Fold more often. After reading the King Yao (or whatever his name is) book I started to call bets when the board didn't quite hit me well. I think this is because of his treatment of hidden outs. I realize, as he stated, that there is some value in a back-door flush or straight. But, I was overvaluing the extra one or two outs. I now fold most of these as the pots are generally not big enough to justify the call

Now if I can just get back on the fitness track.....
