Here are the facts:
Party Poker gave me 70$ for free! I played some NL10 and turned that into 300$ in one night. Then started NL25 and so forth over the last 2 weeks and now I am @ NL50. I have been destroying the tables on a very juicy site. Not a hole lot of aggressiveness needed to succeed - maybe on NL100.
Since I am back at the tables I want to set myself some goals:
#1 Only play 4-6 tables whenever I play and FOCUS.
#2 Get back to NL100 with a 30+ BI bankroll.
#3 play 30k hands over the next 30 days(starting today).
#4 Post on a regular basis on this blog.
This time I will really push myself because discussing hands and so forth is the only way to GET better in the long run and since I have nobody to talk with(about poker  ) in my rL I will stick with LP!
Poker surely will be the main topic here but I will also discuss University life, NBA basketball and some literature(I study Business+ Eng/Am literature).
So lets start with today, here is my performance:
Here are some interesting hands:

I am not really sure if a third barrel is appropriate here. I figured that I could represent a flush or JJ/AT and get low pocket pairs to fold. Board paired and the river brought another flush card so no sense in firing again...

This is just awful. I have no idea why I called his 3bet. I did not even have the proper implied odds(about 1-14 needed...). JUST awful.

I think I have made the correct play on the turn(ignoring the showdown). This guy was 70% vpip and his turn bet just looked so damn weak that I had to punish him.  Maybe trying for some pot control next time around...

Villain was very capable of making a squeeze play since he had solid TAG stats. Looked like a weak squeeze play, but turned out to be a pot feeder. What to do in those kinds of spots? I 4 bet and he shoved, felt comitted and called anyway.

Looking at this hand, it makes me want to puke. I would have folded to a river bet. Thanked the gods above for those donks having both a flushdraw and me having a king of diamonds - thus taking away couple of outs. 
Overall I feel that I give boatload of value on the river when I play... ned to work on that. Well thats about it. Tell me whether I should post the full hands here or only a link directing it to a hand history page...
I will go to sleep now - tomorrow will be another day. I will talk a little bit about NBA Basketball and other stuff.
