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.
