So I don't blog much but for 7 days starting tomorrow I'm going on a hardcore grind session so I thought I'd try blogging on a regular basis a shot. My dad is flying out to texas to visit his parents for their 50th anniversary so I'm heading up to his house to look after the chickens while he's gone (thank god the dogs are gone, I couldn't handle them for one night =[). But since there isn't much to do there I'm taking my comp and dedicating all my time to poker. A few nights will be set aside for drinking with old friends but other than that it's grind time.
I guess a short update on my life since my last blog should go here too. I accidentally got a job in April and had to stay at a place with no internet or cable for that time. It was really nice having set hours and doing actual work, reminded me how much I miss it. I definitely need to get back into the construction business. Anyway, that lasted until early june when I had to move back to our new house. Me and my roommates were working at the same place but someone had to go back and be at the new house and I was the only one who could make a living while being there so that was set. I actually did some work with my old land lord for a month, which was nice. Since then it's been back to poker.
I did fuck up pretty bad by not grinding while I had a job so when I came back it was still the nl25 grind which sucks but whatever, money is money. I was actually playing n150 the end of last month/this month but variance hit and cashouts means its back to nl25 for me. I feel I was playing well and running bad, but I have a ton of room to improve so it's all good. It was a huge confidence booster to win at nl50 and having a lot of stuff make sense to me when I know it wouldn't have in the past.
So that's pretty much where I am now. I'm heading up tomorrow afternoon and I'll try to update each night with graphs and maybe some hands.
A little under 3 hours of 4 tabling, I couldn't take the swings anymore. It's not like I had huge swings, but it such a short period it was fucking with my head. Much love to tom for straightening me out though <3
I played like... maybe 50 hours this month when I should be playing 150+, oh well. I played pretty well except for a couple thousand hands in the middle (kinda obvious where). 4 tabling has helped my game tremendously. nl25
not much else to say. The -115 session I was being a bit over-aggro I think (squeezing with 78s, 2barrell shoving, etc) and it was going well for a while but I don't think this style works at nl25 because shit hit the fan pretty quick. I just hate watching my redline die because I know there are spots where I can pick up pots. IDK if I'm just hitting a patch of variance or if I really do need a severely negative redline to crush nl25.
Ugh. May was hell. I played like asshole and ran about the same. Most of it was definitely my fault. Need to work on not being a station or getting it in when I know I'm behind.
