Last night was my hockey teams rookie party. It was a shit show and I got fucking wasted. Our team baught 20 cases of beer and 2 Texas Mickeys sos needless to say there was more then enough alchol for everyone. It was a pretty solid party and I had a great time. I actually just woke up about 30 mins ago lol. Didnt fall asleep until 10am. When I got home I decided since Im so hurting right now Im not going to play any poker today so Im going to throw up my graphs and review my month right now.

All in all November was a really good month for me. I double my Bankroll and moved up from $.25/$.50 LHE to the $.5/$1 LHE game. Ive played the most hands Ive ever played in a month and tracked them all for the first time. Being able to see my results so clear helped me a lot and I was able to fix up my game a lot too. Heres the Graphs:

$.25/$.50 6 Max LHE



So I ran pretty good and played amazing at the $.25/$.50. Not really a hard game and very easily beatable with a good solid TAG ABC game. So many fish its rediculous.

$.5/$1 6 Max LHE



Things are going alright at this limit. Im winning but its a bit more swingy at this level. Not a real good hand sample though. The main thing at this level that Im trying to adjust too is the aggression of players. People play very aggressive so you have to showdown more which is taking a little while for me to get used too.

$.5/$1 Heads Up LHE



I love playing heads up LHE. Theres a lot more too it then people really think. The problem is right now that the rake is too high at these levels for it to be really beatable unless you have a total shit noob for an opponent. I pretty much crushed anyone I played this month when I did play though. Sucks that a lot of people like to hit and run too.

November Overall Winnings



So overall it was a very good month at the poker tables. I made $540 in 16k hands at the micro limit games which I am very proud of. Im going to keep grinding $.5/$1 and hopefully by the end of december be rolled for $1/$2 LHE.

I have to move out and go to school soon so I think my BR might be taking a big hit because I am going to have to pull a lot of it off until I get all settled in and get a job in London. But I still got a month to grind so hopefully I can make enough money so I can leave a roll for $.25/$.50 and start grinding that again for the first few months at school.

Ive set a few goals for December for both poker and life in general:

- Grind Grind Grind. Try to get 20k hands in Dec.
- Make enough to move up to $1/$2
- Review sessions more
- Get settled into new place
- Work as much as possible until the end of Dec. I need all the $ I can get for school
- Stop smoking Cigarettes. I always smoke when I drink or after I burn a dube. Need to stop smoking them Cigarettes.
- Have a great time at Mt. Tremblant when I go and get in tons of runs
- Start working out seriously again
- Have a hell of a time on New Years

Lots to look forward to in December. Im really excited to get out on my own. I cant wait! No parents = so much less stress imo and x10 more freedom. I hope everyone had a great November and has a great December. If you didnt have such a great November just remember that the wave always crashes. Eventually things are going to turn around for you.

Poll: PT or HEM?
(Vote): Poker Tracker
(Vote): Holdem Manager



The dying old question I need to have answered. My poker tracker trial is going to run out in 10 days and Im thinking of buying it. My friend however insists that Holdem Manager is x10 better. I wasnt able to use the free trial on HEM because I stopped plaing for a bit and the trial ran out on me.

If anyone could list a few differences between the two for me and why they prefer one over the other I would really appreciate it.

Tomorrow Im supposed to go down to London and pay the last months rent and get the keys to my new place with my room mate. Hes kinda been giving me the run around the last few days so I was starting to get kinda sketched. So Im sleeping away and I get a text message at 7am from him saying hes backing out and cant move to London with me.... FUCK.

He gives me the big schpeel about how he wont be able to afford it because he wants to get a new tooth (he got his front tooth knocked out a long time ago) plus his car insurance etc. etc. Now this is understandable but like two days ago I called him and he said gave me a load of shit saying how he wasnt blowing me off or anything and that 100% he was in for sure. (Words straight out of his mouth) Now the day before I have to go finalize this shit he backs out. What a fucking waste of time that was seriously. I dont see how you cant know what your financial situation is like when it comes to something like moving out? Either you can or you cant... he fucked me large.

What makes it worse is now Im probably going to lose the apartment and the sick deal I got on it unless I find a roomate by tomorrow. Im seriosuly fucking sick of the same shit from everyone. Everyone is all fucking talk and no action and its really pissing me off. Im probably going to end up living with some fucking randoms that I could careless about now and have to be stuck with them for atleast 8 months because of a lease. FUCK!!

Im so fucking pissed and dont have a clue what I am going to do... to make things worse I start playing pokes and instantly these two hands happen:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=577127
http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=577129

SICK?! Fuck I am lucky today. I really dont know what Im going to do because I have to call this fucking landlord and tell him my buddy is a flop show. FUCK SAKES. What a fucking waste of time that was FUCK!

Im going to smoke a fucking CANNON, 6 paper RICKY STYLE JOINT and then pass the fuck out because I am so pissed right now its unreal.

UPDATE

Today seriously was a shitty day. Getting this news just fucking put me on tilt today and I knew I shouldnt have played man. Instead I played a huge session today... a lot larger then normal and lost about 40BB. Nothing at all is going my way today it seems.

It would have been a total shit of a day and I would have been down a lot more but I crushed some fuck HU for 30BB but yea im still down on the day. I think I got run over a bit today and it didnt feel good. Today happens to be the biggest loss Ive had all month. Anyways tomorrows a new day... and I ahve to work so it looks like its going to start out nice a shitty. Heres my graph for today:

First off what the fuck is going on in India? Terrorist? WTF? Go to CNN if you havent heard about this. http://www.cnn.com

Anyways as you guys probably know I just moved up in Limits. Im winning right now but shit its an ugly swingy ride lol. My graph literally looks like a rollercoaster but atleast its in the green. So far im up about 50BB in the new limit. I think that the swings look bigger on my graph but they really arent, it just looks like that because Im playing for more moneys now. I only have a pretty small sample right now so Im not going to bother putting up the 2.5k hands Ive played so far.

Last night I played a nice HU session vs some guy. Before this match some guy hit and run me for 12BB... pretty standard at low level HU. People love to go HU when they are almost broke win a bit then bounce. But whatever in the long run I will get the best of them.

This guy I played last night actually sat down and we had a session. HU is a lot of fun and I really enjoy it. This guy played pretty aggressive and was doing a number on me at the start. I had about 11BB left and then I found a few nice exploits on this guy and turned it around. He played so cautiously... too cautious on flush/straight draw boards. A couple of times I would raise the flop and he would usually fold the river. He also had a hard time playing me on dry boards like K74. I started to C/R him on these types of boards and he had no clue what to do and couldnt take the pressure. He wasnt really calling me down with bottom pair or middle even though sometimes that should be a call down. At the start He was running pretty sick too. I was making good calls but he was fucking me on the river. I knew I would get him eventually.

I really outplayed this guy at the end of the match but he wasnt a great player by any standards. I won all my money back and cleaned him right out. I seriously dont think there is a better feeling then making a sick comeback and cleaning a guy out. I was pretty proud of myself lol. Ive been doing pretty good in HU despite that fact that I get hit and run quite a bit. Im still up a lot in it so thats cool. Im going to start studying this game a lot more and hopefully get a lot better at it and make some serious dough!

I guess Im going to chill out for now maybe play a bit later.

Today I started playing the next limit up for me which is $.5/$1 6 Max LHE. Didnt have a hell of a lot of success. Played around 1.5k hands so far today and Im only up 2 BB. I think Im running pretty bad though so its alright.

Some people just play there hands terrible man. A couple of times I thought I was ahead based on the way the action was going but then some guy shows me AK at the river to beat my AJ that I raise on the turn. I had KJ run into KQ a few times AJ into AQ, AK. All pretty standard stuff so Im not really phased at all. Here are a few hands from the session.

NOTE - LHE not NLHE

HAND 1

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=575603

I think I played the hand alright. If I were to play it again I would probably 3bet preflop. He played it pretty bad Id say. I just got unlucky there and he luckboxed me.

HAND 2

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=575606

This was a shitty one where he had KQ over my KJ. I tried to show my strength on the turn with a raise and he ended up just calling me down. He probably should have 3 bet unless for some reason he put me on AK or two pair which might be possible from the BB I suppose. Pretty standard again.

HAND 3

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=575607

Again I got out kicked here this time my AJ ran into his AK. I really hate AJ in the SB. Its really hard to play from there. I actually really odnt like AJ that much at all period but what can you do? I raised the turn here to get him to fold any pocket pair or the flush draw. He for sure should have 3 bet this hand after I raised him on the turn. So yea just running a little shitty here.

HAND 4

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=575610

Pocket aces FTW. Good thing I had the Ad or I would be shitting bricks on this river. Still would have bet/called down here no matter what if I didnt have the Ad though.

HAND 5

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=575612

I cant say that I always run bad though. Love hitting sets then Quads on turn lol. Got max value out of this one.


A lot of pretty standard shit so Im not discouraged or anything. Going to take a break for a bit because the tables are pretty shitty right now. Probably play a bit later tonight when the fish come out. Sucks that I got hockey though because we are getting bag skated tonight so Im going to be pretty tired when I get home and might not have the urge to put in some hands.

Anyways hope everyones having a great day.

EXCELED

UPDATE

I knew I was running pretty bad today. Just figured I would play through it and eventually variance would come back in my favour. I managedt o get unstuck and rebound makin about 50BB but I am only up about 15BB. I think Im done for the day. StarWars is on right now and then Im going to to hockey. After that I think Ill go smoke a J with my buddy and pack er in for the night

I know I already did a blog today but this got me excited. Ive been grinding my nuts off at $.25/$.50 LHE for this whole month. I started with $250 and told myself that I would not move up until I had 500 BB for the next level. I finally go there today and it feels pretty good.



Tomorrow Im going to give the $.5/$1 game a shot. Its pretty close to the same game as the $.25/$.5 but a little bit more aggressive so I wont have to change my style to much, maybe just showdown a little bit more and I should be good to go. Hopefully we dont have to drop down and its just smooth sailing. If I lose 100 BB at anytime Ive decided I will drop down and stay discipline no matter how much that might suck.

Later folks,

I started working where I work right now in September. I work at a Loblaws Distrubution centre and I am what they call a "picker" A picker drives around a "Jigger" which is pretty much an electric pump truck that you drive around on. We get orders through our headset and we drive around picking the items and putting them on skids, the wrapping them and shipping them away. Its not really a great job and the hours are just shit. They have such a bad turnover at this place and I really can see why.

You could call in sick once every wee and they wouldnt give a shit as long as you showed up for some of your shifts. New guys are hired and trained every week and I bet not even half of them end up working there for more than a month. The part that makes this job shitty is the fact that you are timed on everything you do. You target goal is to pick at 95% for the week which is not that easy. Ive been there for 2 months and just last wee I fianlly started to hit that number. If you pick over 95% then you get a bonus on your paycheck every week. To get over 100% you have to bust your ass all day everyday. Its not like you get a shit load of extra paying by doing this so right now Im fine with hitting the standard they put out for you.

Lifting things all day can get pretty strainning on the back. My back started to get a bit sore after working there for 2 weeks. I stretch before every shift but that only does so much. What makes this worse is about a month ago I hurt my side in hockey which was not fun. I thought things were getting better but on the weekend I managed to fuck my side up again the same way. I was pretty happy because my back/side was starting to feel really good and I was planning on getting back to the gym this week but my back is just to sore and lifting weights + work definitly will not help it get better. I think Im going to start going back to the chiropractor again and get a massage or too. Hopefully this helps a bit.

The good thing is this job is only a temporary thing for me since Im moving to London soon. Im only going to be working there for about one more month. This reminds me, gotta hand in my two weeks notice soon. Its actually more like 3 wees because Im going Snowboarding at Mt. Tremblant in December for a week. Im pretty excited for this trip because the biggest place to snowboard around here is Blue Mountain which is alright but Ive head Tremblant is way bigger. I just got all new equipment so Im pumped that I get to try it out soon. Its been snowing alot here too lately so hopefully they are getting a lot of snow out at Tremblant so the conditions are good when I end up going there.

My hockey team played 2 games this weekend and we went 1-1 when we should have gone 2-0. The first game we played was vs Wellsley. There coach is our old coach so its a pretty big rivalry. We ended up beating them 6-2 but the end of the game gott pretty ugly and there was a few fights. What bugs me is Im never on the ice when any of this shit goes down. Havent gotten in a single tilt this year The league just isnt the same as it used to be. Full of a bunch of younger guys now who think they are going somewhere in hockey but havent gotten there reality check yet. Its hilarious because they think they are so good but there is no extrordinary talent in our league anymore. The second game we played was for sure one we should have won. We were up 3-1 and ended up blowing it and losing 5-4. We even got a penalty shot in the final minute to send it into OT but buddy missed so we lost Shouldnt have even came down to that moment though. Apparently now we are going to get bag skated at practice on Tuesday which fucking sucks because I hate skating all practice.

Big weekend coming up. We play the team who is in 1st (were in 2nd) in a home and home series. We also have the ROOKIE party Saturday night This year we decided to get our rookies to wear diapers only at the party and tape 40ozs of shit beer to there hands so they have to drink them all before they can take them off and go to the bathroom or they can go in there diaper haha. Shold be a lot of fun drunk times. Ill put up pictures if I remember to take some lol.

I didnt play much poker at all this weekend because I was so busy with hockey/work. I dont have to work again until Friday so I should be able to get in some serious hours too. I only need to make 35 more BB until its time to move up in limits. I should be able to grind that out tonight, if not for sure tomorrow. Today Im aready up 65BB so I dont really feel like pressing my luck to much tonight unless there are some huge fish sitting and the tables are exceptionally good. Heres the graph for today:



I recently put my stats up on 2+2 looking to get some feed back. They basically said that right now my stats are good for the limit I am playing and I wont need to make much of an adjustment when I move up. The only thing they said I have to improve on was something that I kinda knew on my own. They said I have to increase my WTSD% a bit,raise a few more hands in late position and defend my BB a bit less. All easily fixable imo.

A few hours ago I watched the most recent episode of ENTOURAGE. Just when you thought Vince and crew hit rock bottom things managed to turn themselves around. Love this show and cant wait to see whats going to happen next. The season has to be over soon though doesnt it? They are already 12 episodes in and they just put Vince in a new movie? Maybe they are going to do make the movie this season and then priemier it in the next one. Sorta like last season. Actually... is has HBO even confirmed a 6th season yet? I really hope they do. If anyone knows the answer to this let me know.

I started up the 2nd season of DEXTER too. I really like this show and at the end of every episode I always want to start watching the next episode asap. The shitty thing is that the site I watch it on has had a pretty laggy feed lately so hopefully they fix this soon so I can start watching again.

Not sure what I am going to get up to tonight. Might go for some beers at Boston Pizza and watch the Monday nighter. Maybe just smoke a joint and chill out because tomorrow I have to head down to London to give my lasts months rent to the Land lord. Hopefully we can get into the place sooner then Januaray so I can start painting the place.

Anways... hope alls good with everyone.

I went down to London last night to look at a couple of places with my buddy who is going to be moving in with me. We decided to drive seperately because I needd to come back the next day for work and he wanted to stay at his g/fs place who lives in London already. I got to London around 4:00. It was a shitty drive because it was snowing like a mother fucker in Woodstock and people were driving so slow. I tried calling my buddy but his fucking cell phone was dead... nice lol. I called up his g/f too see if he was there already but he wasnt even. His g/f said she thought he would have been there a long time ago but he still wasnt so I went over to her place to wait for him. Finally he shows up about 1/2 hour after I got to his g/fs place. Turns out I must have just missed an accident on the highway which made traffic 10x worse. So we went out and I showed him the apartments I look at when I was down there Tuesday and he really liked the first place I showed him. We looked at a few other apartments but they were all a bit over priced and really didnt have anything special about them.

Anyways we ended up deciding on a pretty nice 2 bedroom apartment pretty close to the college im going too. We decided this place would fit our financial situation best and it was close to everything we needed such as grocery stores, food joints, banks, BEER STORE, etc. The guy who was showing us the house said if we decided that we wanted this place tomorrow he would take $100/month off the rent! So after looking at all the other places we took the best offer. We are getting this place at a steal of $700/month or $350/month each. With the extra money we are going to save on rent we decided we are going to buy a SICK tv for the place. Pretty pumped for that.

This place doesnt really need a lot of work which is nice. I mean we definitly need to paint it because some of the colours in this place are nasty. The kitchen is a teal colour and one of the bedrooms is painted a blood red. Im glad that painting is the only thing we really need to do.

The biggest problem that has come around is that one room is bigger then the other! Who should get the bigger room? We decided that we are going to draw from a hat to be fair... but I think its kind of bullshit because I need to be able to get a desk in my room for all my school shit and to study. My buddy isnt going to school instead hes going to work. We are both paying the same soI guess the only real fair way is to do the draw out of a hat. I better fucking win the big room thats all I have to say lol.

After we got done looking at the houses it started snowing like a mother fucker outside. I wasnt sure if I really wanted to make the trek home because it would have for sure been white out conditions on the highway which means an hour ride would for sure turn into a 3hr drive instead because people would be crawling on the highway doing like 40kmh. The only reason I wanted to go home was because I had to work in the morning. But I figured I would drive all the way home and go into work today and get sent home anyways at like 9am anyways so I said fuck it and called in sick and stayed the night at my buddies girlfriends place.

So we were stuck in London for the night so we decided to make the best of this snowy night and get drunk as fuck and celebrate finding a new place. My buddy, his girl, all her roomates went out for dinner for some grub and drinks.(Her roomates are all good looking girls and the one still wants me. I hooked up with her last time I went down there and havent talked to her since lol.) We went to EastSide Marios because it was really close to the LCBO lol. We went into the restaurant and it was packed. We put are name on the 20 minute waiting list and went over to the LCBO while we were waiting. I got a 12 pack of tall boys and a mickey of Southern Comfort to get me going for the night. We go back to Eastsides and we asked the lady how long before she called our name and she says they already did and took our names off the list... sweet. Thankfully they were nice and gave us the next table open.

Im not a huge fan of Eastsides because my brother works there and he always brings me home shit so Ive had probably everything on the menu and there arent any amazing things on it lol. I ended up getting a seafood pasta. It was alright... 6/10. Our waitress was seriously so stupid. She comes over with our drinks and she had a few other drinks for another table on her trey. She gives us our drinks and puts the other tables drinks down on our table so she could take our food orders. Anyways when she left she ended up leaving 2 beers and a cranberry vodka on the table. We werent sure what to do so we decided we would wait until she came back and see if she took the drinks without us saying anything to her. She comes back and doesnt say shit and leaves them there. So of course we drank them and didnt get charged for them on our bill. We all got our bills and had to pay debit but the waitress was no where to be found. We go up to the bar and they say we gotta go to the back to pay debit. Our waitress is there and says to us "Oh there you are I thought you gusy left already and left the money on the table." Seriously? lol. We could have left and she wouldnt have had a clue. Not that Im a cheap ass or anyting, it didnt even cross my mind until after I paid lol.

We went back to my buddies g/fs place and started throwing back the boose. A six pack later and a few shots of Tequila and Im shittered and ready to hit the bar. We all got pretty drunk and that same girl from last time was loving what I was selling lol. The girls wanted to go to this country bar called Cowboys. I dont have a problem with country... I mean I dont listen to it on the regular or anything like that but Its not to bad and its a good time when you are fucked up on liqour lol. So we called up cabs and off we went.

We got to the bar and it wasnt overly busy probably because of the weather. It was still pumpin and I was thirsty. Me and this girl went straight to the bar for some shots and drinks. Around 12:30 I was buzzin hard and this girl was bugging me to dance so I caved of course. Before I knew it, it was last call at the bar. We went over got some quick shots and one last drink. Back to the dance floor for a bit and then it was time to head out back to there place. When we got back everyone was pretty tired and wanted to go to bed except for this and me.. we wanted to stay up for a bit and have some fun if you get my drift. Everyone crashed, we went up to her room and yeaaaa baby lol.

What a fucking day man seriously. Found a new pad, went out got drunk as fuck and got some action. Hat trick lol. I got up this morning around 10am and went out for breakfast with her. She started talking about how excited she was that I would be living in London soon. She also said she wanted to start hanging out more too. I said that would be awesome but then I started think and Im not too sure how I feel about this lol. I mean Im finally moving out of my house and Im going to be living on my own with my buddy. The last thing I want is to get tied down with some brod I hardly know. I wanna party meet new brods and wheel everything I can man. Fuck having a g/f right now seriously, its time to live it up!

After this interesting breakfast I went back to her place and my buddy and I had to meet up with the land lord and sign some shit and give him some cash. After that I took my buddy back to his g/fs and drove home. It was fucking snowing like crazy again halfway home and it took way too long to get back lol. Oh well I made it.

Long blog but seriously I had such a sick night. I havent played any poker todya nd Im probably not going too because I got hockey pretty soon.. ugh. Anyways I hope everyones having a great weekend!

Take care folks,

I just wrote a huge fucking blog about this and accidently hit the back button on my keyboard.. fuck me. Anyways I wrote it up again.

Today I finally hit my first 10k hands that I actually tracked. So far Ive been doing very well and fixed a lot of problems in my game thanks to Poker Tracker and help from others on LP and 2+2. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone. Anyways here are my graphs and stats so far on the 10k hands:

NOTE: All $.25/$.50 LHE 6 MAX

STATS





My stats are pretty standard for a 6 Max LHE game. Id say I play a pretty solid TAG game, maybe a little ABC at times but really its what you have to do to win at these levels because people play so bad that its hard to get tricky.

WINNINGS



Very Happy with my Winnings here. I think that 5BB/100 is probably sustainable at this level because people spew massively and its really easy to get your big hands paid off.



Dumb red line. I really dont think its possible to get it above the even line playing LHE because often people just call you down to the river because they have some "value" in calling.

SUMMARY

Ive put a lot of hard work into my poker game over the past two months and its paying off. I knew I could win consistently but I was really running into the same problem over and over again. I used to go on a nice run and win a bit here and there. Then I would go on a terrible losing day and end up donking off 2x what I should trying to make it back beacause I would move up limits trying to make it back. BIG mistake. Ive become a serious BR nit and this has helped a lot. I am fine with winning a little bit everyday instead of absolutely having to win a lot each day. Its better to win a bit then to be in the red at the end of the day.

Poker tracker has helped my game A LOT over the past two months I was able to see that at one point I used to call way to many hands. Instead I started to raise more instead of calling and those hands that I would sometimes really want to call I throw them into the much. Although I still sometimes make calls that I probably shouldnt hoping to hit a monster flop but I am getting better at muchking those hands. (stupid suited cards )

Another thing that I think has helped me out a bit is actually blogging. I can get help when Im not sure through my blog and it also helps me vent somewhere when things arent going so well. For some reason blogging can kind of be de-tilting for me. Thanks to everyone who has helped me out in my blog.

WHATS NEXT?

Well its only 10k hands right? I know I know. My actual winnings for the month is a bit more then it shows on that graph because Ive taken a few shots at the next level as well as coming out on top in some HU sessions. I played in a few tourneys this month but didnt make any money at all but sometimes donkaments are fun so Im going to keep playing in the odd one here and there.

I plan on moving up limits after I make about another $100 or 200 BB which is easily doable. I think the comfort in my BR will help make things easier when I start taking the shot at the next limit up. Also I plan on improving my HU game. I really enjoy playing LHE HU. There are a few players who have made a killing playing LHE HU so there is definitly some strategy behind the madness. I plan on finding this out one way or another and hopefully do well along the way.

All in all things are pretty kick ass right now in my life and I cant complain at all. I hope everyhing is going well for you guys too.

Just writing about how things went for me today. So yea I had to work this morning and only managed to get in 4 hrs before we got sent home again. They said they are going to be posting jobs over in the grocery area which is more hours but Im not really interested in going over there because its too dry and hot plus the skids are a fucking bitch to make. Other people who have families to support etc. deserve the chance to take those jobs before me because they really need it. Im only going to be working here for about a month so I said fuck it might as well stay over here for now. Good managers, good guys to work with, just not enough hours.

I got off around 10am, rolled up the last of my buds and smoked a j on the drive home. So by the time I got home I was pinned and wanted to hit the tables. I was up a bit at the start but for the most part things were pretty even for the start, only winning a few hands here and there. I lost a couple big hands, all pretty standard stuff, nothing worth crying over. Then I went on a quick heater and ended up 64 BB for the day which is great in my books. Here she is:



Also I just check my pokertracker database and it turns out Im really close to my first 10k tracked hands. (Actually Ive already played over 10k hands with all the levels included but Im really close to 10k hands at $.25/$.50 LHE) This is a pretty big accomplishment for me because for some reason in the past things in poker havent really gone super well and I used to always go on tilt and blow away my BR. Ive put a lot of discipline into my game over the last while and made a lot of adjustments and its really paying off a lot. For the first time I can honestly say I am winning on a very consistent basis and its not just because Im on some huge heater either. Ive really put a lot of work into my game and for once Im really glad I did.

I need about 75 more BB and then Im comfortably rolled for the next level up and can possibly start looking into taking HU a lot more serious because the lowest level heads up tables start at my next level on Stars. There is some serious dough to be made at HU and I intend to take full advantage of this when the time is right. Im pretty excited to be able to move up soon. Ive taken a few small shots at the next level and Im only down like 7BB which is nothing. I felt pretty comfortable playing there though on those shots so I know I can crush it too. Might take a few adjustments here and there but for sure I can do it.

Tonight Im probably going to go out and play some pool with my buddies. I wish I was a dirty pool shark but sadly Im not. I hold my own against my buddies but they are nothing special either. Im not even confident enough to put money on myself in pool lol. Should be an alright night. A few of my buddies went down to the Casino and I couldnt go because I need every penny in my bank account right now for school. Kinda sucked that I couldnt go because I would have loved to go there and own the $5/$10 LHE game but I gotta save and right now the Casino and the possiblity even of a losing day at $5/$10 is something I dont need right now. Hopefully my buddies do well and clean up.

Since I dont have to work tomorrow I get to sleep in. When I get up Im going to murder my chest at the gym. I havent been going very consistent lately. Been taking off a week here and there and I hate that I have been doing this. I went 5 times a week all the way up until the middle of October and then I just started getting injured here and there. I slit my hand open at work and had to get stitches, hurt my back at hockey after my ahnd healed. Just been one set back after another and my back is feeling really good latel so Im going to get back into it and get back up to 200LBS again. Im sitting at around 188 right now so with some discipline and eating right this is very easily reachable.

For sure tomorrow Im hitting the 10k hands at one level point. Im going to post my graphs and stats too see if you guys can recommend anywhere for me to improve. Who knows, maybe I can wreck tomorrow to and get my roll to where I want it to be for the next level and start killing it this weekend. Im pretty sure I got a hockey game tomorrow so I might not be getting in a hell of a lot of hands tomorrow either.

Hope everyone is having a good day today and it continues through the night.
