problem solved?

I played three 6 handed 12+1s yesterday and won two and finished second in the other. There is no doubt I got lucky in spots, but I think that I figured out where my looseness was the problem. I was too involved too early. Example, I raise with AKo and get a caller. It is checked to me on the flop. I follow up with a continuation bet. I get a caller. And then I push again on the turn. At 10/20, I don't need to do the continuation bet. I have more play in there. The risk isn't worth the reward. These bastards will call you down with second pair. When the chips get short, that's when bluffing and looser play becomes more important. Here's a hand I played that I liked. I raised in LP, got two callers - and then when I got two checks, it was easy to represent an ace.

I know it's not a complex play, but it's a play I can make at 25/50 that is something that I shouldn't do at 10/20.

Let's see if the trend continues.
