Quick trip to the Woods

Well I got up early today and went down to Foxwoods. Im glad I got in there by 830 because by 10 the place was completely packed. I was able to open a table and I did pretty well. My biggest mistake was calling a raise and reraise with trips. The board had flush and straight draws and I just fell in love with my aces.. lesson learned I hope. My read on the table was great and I knew who would pay me off and who wouldnt. I left after only 3 hours with 21 BBs in my pocket. I could have hung around but its a long weekend and I did what I wanted to do there.

My biggest problem there has been that I DO NOT count the pot! I feel like I dont even need to with the horrible players Im encountering and I know I should be using that time to get better at counting it for when I move up and start playing against actually good players.

I think the best thing to do would be write up some quick reference charts on index cards and get used to using them when I play online and the repetition will put those odds into my head enough so that when I do need to start counting the pot Ill already know what kind of odds I need to make calls. Im going to see if I can find some cards around the house and get on that seeing as how I am constantly thinking about doing it when working but never actually do it when home.

Oh and I rivered a wheel flush today to crack some kings.. he was even holding Kh for the second nut flush. It was pretty cool to get that live.
