I've been pretty lazy this month, both in blogging and in playing. I started out well with a nice little 5k upswing in the first few days, but then I stopped putting in a lot of hours. On Friday and Saturday I had a confidence-deflating couple of days. I played a few hands poorly that put me in tough river hero-call spots. I called all 3 and lost all 3. That equated to about 6k worth of river calls all going the wrong way.
I think getting myself into those call-down river hero spots has been a big leak in my game for quite some time. I just can't help myself...the feeling of scooping a big pot to a river bluff is just too satisfying. Really trying to work on it though by getting more aggressive and avoiding the passive lines that seem to creep into your game when you play too much live poker.
These annoying pots resulted in an early end to my Saturday night session, followed by Sunday and Monday off from poker to get my mind on something else. We had a relaxing Mother's day, complete with swimming and vegging out. We even watched the series finale of Desperate Housewives to cap off the day...IT WAS MOTHER'S DAY DON'T JUDGE ME. I haven't seen a ton of the episodes but I thought the ending was kind of lame...ok let me put my penis back on and get back to poker...
Today is the halfway point of the month, and I've only put in 58 hours, which puts me well off the pace of 40 hours per week. Pretty terrible, but given that the WSOP is coming up and I'm going to be grinding like a madman, I'm not going to be too hard on myself for not playing much; especially when I've been making bad/questionable decisions at the tables. It's probably best that I took a few days off.
Truthfully I don't feel much like playing today, but I think that's a function of having a couple days off to relax, and the amazing weather we've been having, so hopefully sitting down at the table will kick-start my focus. I'll need to average almost 8 hours per session if I stick to my normal schedule of taking 2 days off per week to hit the 160 hour mark for May. My current average session length is 6.9 hours...Hopefully I can pull it off.

live poker players dont bluff rivers (statement mostly meaning they dont ever bluff raise rivers but for the most part its true all around)
ever
yet i still hero call
it is the hardest fucking thing to do because everytime its a stupid nonsense line but its cuz they r live garbage
even the younger "internet player" live poker players. they dont EVER bluff. infact most of the time it's them barreling once and giving up and then getting there |

he means that most players at the game he plays are not capable of making a bluff move on the river. espesially if you see them take like a call call reraise line. i mean they dont ever have air,so you can exclude such a huge porition of their range. |
