The one aspect of my play where I really need to calm down is aggression in the face of aggression. I don't believe you can beat a wild card LaGtard, by trying to unagressive him unless you have a read that he is bluffing. Needless to say going broke at this stage of the turbo is not great poker...especially with top pair alone. I think I'm improving my game because I've learned to play vs. certain styles vs. just playing my style.

I lost in 200th place in the nightly 3$ rebuy on stars, calling an allin shove by the chip leader with KK - he has A9. Needless to say he hit his A but I told a railbird, I can sleep if I go  broke with KK....I didn't sleep much.

Still I'll take the $50.00 bucks and continue my ascent up the tournament rankings. Currently at about a 95% ranking on OPR, my goal is to get to the top 1% of poker players...top 13,000 online.
