Finally Staying Positive

Anyone remember my most recent Tilt post? ()

Well, I've finally been able to make up for it. I still have less overall money because of living expenses, plus I went to Nordstrom Rack (an outlet) and I sure do love to shop for clothes. I have also went to 2 different high scale malls in the last week. And I have 4 tickets to Paramount's Great America that I need to use (stupid website not clearly saying they weren't open last Friday). And a Pooh Bear doll to give to my cousin. Needless to say, I have been spending some money, though I am well within my means. Just wait until I win a Major event, oh the clothes I will buy! And electronics that I don't ever need. Ever. Except my electric shaver, I am under court order to need that.

Ok, I am going dig through my hand histories and see if I can find something fun to post. Be back in a jiffy.

Still there? Good. Here is a good hand to demonstrate good value betting.

I had been playing very aggresively and showed down a few bluffs. Around this hand I figured I should tighten up and stop bluffing as much. After the flop, I was %100 sure he just had a weaker Ace and just value bet it the whole way, sure that he was calling.
