Ramlbing about Gear Changes

I just got done playing a few hands of $3/$6 5-max Limit Hold'em. Apparently there are no 6-handed games on pokerroom, only 5-handed.

These games really play a lot differently than the $3/$6 ring games I've been playing recently. These people just keep ramming money into the pot with any kind of hand. I watched the same guy try to bluff bet or raise every river he got to. It's funny because once you get caught bluffing like that, you really should start bluffing less and value betting more. Until your opponents catch onto it, then you bluff more and value bet less. But this guy was doing the opposite.

Speaking of bluffing and such, today I'm hopefully going to re-read the section in Theory of Poker about game theory and bluffing in an effort to improve my 5-Draw skills. Although I've been increasing my bluffing frequency, I'm still almost certain that I'm not doing it enough because I'm still not really getting caught.

Also I played a series of 4 heads up matches for $2 each against my freind Rik last night when I was drunk. I only remember playing 3 and winning 2, but he claimed that we played 4 and we went 2-2. I think he just didn't want to give me the $2 he would owe me.

Enough rambling -- I think I'm going to do some school work and watch TV.

feel free to actually have the money at the table next time so that we don't have to rely on drunken memory...i believe the third game i won with a set of jacks on the flop to your jacks and sevens.
