Spaz Induce Successful

Well, I don't know if this is a spaz, just because he called, instead of shoved weak garbage.  Either way, I managed to stack him.  Notice the flop and turn bets, setting up the fun overshove.  The turn card also helped, but I don't know how necessary it was, other than giving me safety against the flush.

So the real question is, what does Villain beat here?

First 8k hands of 50NL

So, I'm still running like god in 50NL.  My stats are the following over my first 8018 hands.

BB/100: 13.00
VPIP: 18.8
PRF: 15.9
3Bet: 5.7
Went to show down: 27.3
Won money at showdown: 55%
Aggression: 3.92
Cbet: 79.5%

Things I would like to do in the next 8-12k hands:
Run at VPIP/PRF of 22/19 or so.
3bet up to around 7.5%

In order to increase my VPIP, I need to focus on playing about 5-7% more hands from the CO and 2-3% more hands from MP.  Also, I need to steal more from the button when the blinds are tightish.  3betting will increase from squeezing more and 3betting on the button more often.  I currently 3bet fromt he button 8.6% of the time.  I'd like that to increase to about 10%.  I'd also like my CO 3bet to increase to about 6.5%.

One of the biggest problems I've had in trying to play looser is that I've been multitabling.  When I multitable I instinctively go into a tighter game as I am more accustomed to playing that way.

I'll update on these goals when I reach 8k hands or so, or midway through if I feel like it.

Attempt at 50NL

So I took a shot at 50NL during the endish of january.  Over my first 5k hands, I'm up $250 or so, running at an unsustainable 9.7BB/100.   I think the part that I am most proud of is the fact that over my first 500-1000 hands I was down 3 BI's or so. I was about a BI away from moving back down to 25NL when I started to play well AND hit cards.  I never thought that people at 50NL could so awful.  There are so many people who are trying to win every pot that you can let them do the betting for you.  That being said, having HEM definitely has helped as even after 50 hands you can get a decent idea of what your opponent is raising with.  You can only narrow the range so far but you can get a good idea of how somebody is playing.

Tonight or tomorrow I will try to post an interesting hand or two.  For now, I have to think of what I want for dinner.
