Another short session

      Hit the gym for the first time in like 3 weeks today. That was ugly. Then I sat down with the intention of playing a longer session but was put on tilt by a couple hands and elected to end it after about 2 hours. Starting tomorrow I will definitley be playing longer hours. I'm also gonna be recording some videos of me playing with commentary and hopefully getting them on the blog within the next week. Anyway, not in the mood to talk too much but I'll break it down.
      I joined Bluefire poker.com and have been spending 3ish hours a night watching videos of pros playing at the stakes I'm playing at. It has already helped. I ran over the tables for about an hour and a half and was up in the vicinity of $175. I've taken to targeting fish and playing about 90% of pots with them and it has worked very well. Basically some of these guys turn their hand face up and it is easy to take small pots away from them. Another techinque I have been using is overbetting rivers. This seems to work even against some of the regular guys and, while it may be a high variance play, it's really worked out...Here's an example.

      I raise Aq and get a caller out of the bb. He check calls a board of j105...turn comes an 8 giving me a double gutter. We were both about 100 bb's deep to start the hand so when this turn comes im trying to manipulate the pot for a river jam wether I hit or not. If he calls 2 streets It is difficult for him to have a monster...I bet 8 into 10 leaving the pot somewhere about $23 and we have about $38 left. River is a blank, he checks, and I jam a bet which is basically double pot. He thinks for a long time and folds. guessing he laid down kj, j9, something like that.
       I want to talk about this idea because I did something similar on 3 or 4 boards with air and was only looked up once. I think it's extremely proiftable to bet rivers big when you are fairly sure your opponent can't have a massive hand. People at these stakes think about the money and when you bet $50 suddenly tptk doesn't look as good. Having the initiative in the hand is also very important as I did in the hand I described.
        Anyway, I lost a $150 pot where we got it in on 378q with 2 hearts (I have AA, he has J10 hearts) He rips a heart which stung because I had a heart and he called my reshove on a draw with one card to come. That hand put me on tilt as it came after a couple other small loses where I feel I played well and was getting unlucky. So I decided to end the session up $71. Could have been much better but I'll take it for now. Let me know if anyway has thoughts about overbets. Hope Lifes good for all.
