Change of Pace

The six handed $100 max game hasn't been going as smoothly as I would like these past few days. I am still up almost 2 buy-ins for this month, but that isn't too special when you have played 3500 hands at that level. I'm not sure if it's a pride thing or not, but I know for sure I have developed some bad habits. I think one of my main problems is that I am trying to play way too LAG. This is a style I am still not the best at, but I really do want to be good at it. I just don't think that style is optimal for this level, where the players aren't as conscious about ranges, and are more or less calling stations. I have been a little too recklessly aggressive and I haven't been giving people credit. Also, lately, I just can't seem to lay down a hand even when I know I'm beat. Today, after playing a frustrating 6 handed $100 max session, I switched to heads up poker. I think I might be addicted. The player disparity is so much easier to spot in heads up than in 6 max. You can almost label anyone who doesn't buy-in for a full stack heads up as a weak player. I really think I played well today heads up, and I did have some mistakes, but I'm still learning. Here are my results:


And a graph:


I started the heads up stuff a little before hand 600 and as you can see, it took me a little bit to adjust. Also, I really felt good about this hand (http://www.pokerhand.org/?1449866)
as I knew exactly where he was strength wise. He was giving off some timing tells like he wasn't comfortable, and I thought this guy was decent, which is a main reason I ran this bluff. It's just a shame because about 80% of the time I will have him crushed here, and leaving him feeling stupid. Once I started to get the hang of things and stopped playing the good players, the graph looks very nice.

I think I'm going to keep playing this mix of 6 max and HU for now, but I'm going to try and lean more towards heads up. This one site I bought videos from has some great heads up videos, so I plan on watching them all again and getting really good at this stuff...
