I've got the Rakeback Pro blues...

For those of you who don't know, a Rakeback Pro is someone who can't make any money at poker, but makes money off of the rake kickback you get from the poker sites.  I suppose it's better than losing money...

So yesterday I was down 5 buy-ins.  Went 0 for 3 in flips, decided it was a good idea to try and bluff a fish off of top pair no kicker, and the highlight of my evening was when I tried to 3 barrel bluff a nitty reg off of TOP SET!!! at 5/10.  Email me for coaching. 

Considering my bluff frequency, I obviously need to work on picking better spots.  The fish didn't look like a calling station, but it was not great considering he minraised me on the flop (he minraised a lot).  And I thought the nitty reg was more likely to have top pair, and an overcard fell on the turn.  Bye bye one thousand seven hundred dollars.  Mrs. Fly and I will miss you dearly.

HANDS

Just to cheer me up, I thought I would post an example of my luckboxing from the other day.  Here's something you don't see every day - the rare double free-roll (where we both have the same hand, but either one of us can scoop the entire pot on the river).  Even with this type of extreme luckboxing, I'm still down in EV for the month.
