May

Sorry for lack of updates. I have been extremely busy lately. I've had a lot of shit going on with school since graduation is next Saturday, been doing a lot of partyin on the weekends, and just got guitar hero 2. May has been a very good month except for one day where I dropped 5 buyins at 200nl which sucked pretty bad. Oh well, what can you do. I didn't play nearly the # of hands I wanted to due to the stuff above. I only played about 1/2 of my normal # of hands yet still managed to have my 2nd best month this year at cash games. Unfortunately, I will not be getting hardly any hands in in June and July with Senior Beach Week and my EuroTrip taking out the majority of both months...

Wish I could play longer...

So I was forced (not really) into working today. I hate working because I make 6.50$/Hour for doing shit work at the local Chick-fil-a. I haven't worked in about 3 or 4 weeks because its just not worth it when I can play poker and make a lot more. My manager really needed me tonight so I figured I'd go in. I thought maybe it had changed but soon after I arrived, I realized how much I hated working there. Luckily that may have been my last time working there for awhile because of school ending, senior beach week, and my europe trip.

So I come home and feel completely grungy from slaving over a frier all night. I take a quick shower and plan to get in a quick session. I've mentioned it before (I think) but I always finish up my poker sessions by 12am when I have school the next day. For one, I do not focus as well the later it gets because fatigue sets in. Secondly, I have to set a stopping point. If not, I'd play and play until I look down and its 3 or 4 in the morning. So I got home about 10:30ish, took a quick shower and sat down to play around 11ish.

I fired up 6 tables of 100nl on PS. I started off kind of sluggish with a few cbets getting called and getting my cbet reraised on a bricked flop in a 3bet pot, which ended up being my biggest lost pot of the night. I ran really well for the hour I played and finished up 4 buyins which is sweet. I haven't played since last Thursday because I was at the lake all weekend. Here's some hands (all winners because my losers were just basic cbet/folds)...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1120200
-One of the last pots of the night here. I really didn't think 99 was in his range. I really felt like he had AA or AK because his stats say he's pretty tight and I was playing pretty tight. I didn't think he was raising my utg raise that light OOP. Obv a great flop for me and a cooler for him...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1120205
-I felt like my bet was small enough to get a raise from any PP and maybe Axish hands. Obv didn't think he'd felt 88 but I'll take it...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1120206
-Great flop. Thought the river shat on me but luckily I scooped it...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1120208
-This guy was pretty nitty at like 17/13. I really couldn't put him on a 4 or TT. If he slowplayed KK or AA, I'm going broke for sure. Wonder what he had to fold to the min raise all in? Air?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1120212
-I would like some comments on this hand. On the flop, I felt if I cbet and got raised, he would be pot committed. I felt like a c/r would create more FE and make my hand look that much stronger. If he checks behind, I get a free card for my straight. Thoughts?

Decent day...

I had a decent day today. I was up decently at 100nl and I lost a few big pots. One my read was just way off, will post. I also played some 100nlHU. I didn't play much tonight because I'm pretty tired.

Ran for the first time today in forever. Since I dont have golf practice anymore, I have to do something outside. I ran something like 2.6 miles which I used to could do with no problem. Today I felt like an old man but I managed. Hopefully I can get back into decent shape.

Tomorrow after school, a bunch of friends and I are going to a friends lake house. We are gonna spend the weekend there and do a lot of fishing and a lot of drinking. Its our warmup for senior beach week after graduation. Will probably leave after school manana, get there and do some crappy fishing. Chill and drink for awhile. Pass out, wake up, drink some more and chill on the lake all day. Drink some more then go cat fishing all night. Sounds like fun to me...

-I really didn't think he was this strong. I had stacked him earlier when my JT>KK. I felt he was kind of steaming still as called preflop very quickly and pushed over top of me quickly. I felt he could have a worse A or QQ, KK and didn't think I could possibly have an A. Oh well, I went with my read and it was wrong...sucks...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1107143
-Second biggest pot I lost on the day. HAHA...

Heres me and my girlfriend at pictures before the dreaded prom...

Busy...

Sorry for lack of updates. I forgot to post about how we qualified at regionals for the state tournament this monday and tuesday. We spent all of last week getting ready and I didnt have much time for poker. Saturday I had prom, which sucked pretty bad (will post pics later). Left early Sunday morning for a practice round at the state tourney. Spent the night in a hotel the last 2 nights and Im dead tired after playing today. I played some tonight. Ran HORRIBLE as people suck bad and what not...hopefully can get some hands in on PS this week bc of the 2xFPP promotion which is sweet....heres a few brilliant hands from tonight...

-gotta love shortstacks...

Too tired to post stats right now...lost a little over 2 buyins...

I guess you can call it a HEATER

So in the past 3 days, I have been on an absolute tear for my standards. I am definitely running quite hot, but I feel my game is coming along as well. Maybe its not and I just think it is, but for the most part I feel like I am making quality reads, calls, and folds...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1076371
-Not a bad flop...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1076374
-Very marginal turn call...perfect river (although he did kind of play it like KK/QQ and the shove may not have been the best play, but he was kind of donkish)

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1076379
-I'll take it...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1076387
-This was a tough spot. For some reason, I just did not put him on an overpair to my JJ. Once again, a marginal situation that I came out on top of...

-Standard against shitty shorty...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1076394
-DOH!

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1076395
-meh...I was pretty pissed when he flipped 99. What did he put me on on the turn?

FWATCHHHHAAAAAAA......

I finally managed to have a big day today. I played some yesterday morning and had a great session going before one the worst beats in awhile (hand below). Today I had my best day ever. At one point, I was up over 1k at 200nl, but later dropped back. I ran well but I think I played great as well. The amount of donks on PS today also helped...

Saturday:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069610
-after the hand he said "You deserved that for raising so much"...haha! I guess he put me on KJ?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069614
-I've been thinking about this hand for awhile. It's pretty tough because I'm OOP and the guy is a laggy reg (24/19ish). Also, a guy had posted and I think this makes his range a little bit wider because he may have thought I was just raising to pick up the free blind? What do you think here? Maybe lead and fold to a push? C/R minish and fold to a push?

Today:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069625
-I think I misplayed this hand. Should have raised the flop fo sho...the river bet is meh looking back, but nice play with K7? (Biggest pot I lost all day btw)

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069627
-Its nice to have a cooler go in my favor...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069630
-WTF? I dont win races...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069631
-I planned on c/r the flop AI but he didn't oblige. I figured I'd slowplay the turned flush which paid off I guess...not sure what he folded for 57$ more on the river, but must not have had shit...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069633
-Haha...I had already 3bet his button raises like 3 or 4 times so I guess he was getting frustrated...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1069636

-Villian was crazy aggro. Didn't mind felting an overpair here...obv he hits

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1060460
-Gotta love on PS when the cards don't flip until after the river and you know you're drawing dead....sweet turn

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1060461
-meh...same over aggro villian as hand #1....don't mind it here w/fd and I think he'd felt worse aces here...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1060467
-awkward line by villian. He was pretty weak/tight. Put him on a busted f/d or QJ. I don't think he calls turn bet with just a T.
