Small improvements

Played 725 hands today, 475 on Better poker 0.5/1 and 250 on RedStar 0.25/0.5. I'm showing signs of improvement but I still run really bad. Today I finished with profit but when you're losing with AA (1/2), AKo (4/8), AJs (0/3), ATs (1/4), A9 (0/13), JJ (1/4) you can't be very happy.

Usually I'm playing a weak TAG style, with vpip 18.5, pfr 11.5, af 1.6 over 30k hands on 0.5/1. Since I decided to start this blog and work on my game, I'm playing slightly better TAG style with stats 21.7/14/2.1 over 1.7k hands. I made a profit of 42BB (+2.4 BB/100) but I'm losing with AA, JJ and 99 and few other premium hands.

Here's one interesting hand from Better poker:

Thank you :)

Last month I played a few sessions on 0.5/1 and 1/2 FLHU but the rake is awful, 7-9 BB/100 so I decided I'll wait with my transition to HU until I can comfortably play at least 3/6. But these sessions helped me with my confidence when defending from the blinds. Since then, I'm folding BB only 30.6% and SB only 80%, compared to 55% and 89% in previous 65k hands. I'm still not stealing enough, only 28% but if I could raise that up to 40%, I bet my PT stats will be almost perfect.

Obviously, there's a really good FL player deep inside me, I just have to bring him with me to the tables every time I play.
