I donkbet a river today when I backed into the nuts. I got a long think and a fold out of it.
But then later on in the session I flopped two pair and I got ‘em all in against the same guy and his Top Pair/Good Kicker. So, there is some value in the donkbet. [...]

I have 19 Buy Ins for $50 No Limit Hold ‘em. One more to go.

I just earned 20 buy-ins for $50 No Limit Hold ‘Em, so I’m moving up in stakes.

When the river hits a nightmare card, there’s no shame in checking it. Even if you had a golden hand on the turn. If it looks like it just turned to shit, it probably just turned to shit.
It’s hard to hit the brakes, especially when consistent aggression can be so profitable. But it’s the right [...]

I sure am glad I slowplayed that
Not betting that flop when I wondered if I was ahead was a brilliant idea
I regret that C-bet
I’m thinking about these things I’ve never said because I lost a small hand when some guy hit his trips on the turn. I had put down a pre-flop raise with a [...]

If I can just learn to fold to every turn raise, ever, I can actually do this.
