I was just going over some hands and I decided to do a post about how things are going pokerwise.

I got in about 10k hands really fast at NL10 and did alright. I was fucking around a bit but still did well. I was getting so fucking bored of NL10 and one night I won a satellite to the big Sunday tournament on UB. I said fuck it and took the monies so I could get back to NL25 and tell NL10 to suck it.

Nl25 has been going very well so far but I find myself making a lot of terrible calls on the river the last few days and its really making things harder on me then they should be. Most of these hands are sets or big pairs and I just have trouble laying them down when I know that Im beat but I still make that stupid call just so I can see something I already know. I would be up WAY more this month if I could stop that shit. Im workin on it.

I was hoping to get in 40k hands by the end of the month which I think will be easily reachable still. I plan on putting in a ton of hands the next few weeks so I can have a healthy rakeback payment heading my way and possibly moe up to NL50. Im undecided what I want to do when it comes to moving up. Im pretty sure I can beat NL50 but Im just not sure if Im ready for it yet. Originally I was planning on moving up to NL25 after I get in 100k hands at NL25 and see how she goes or when I get my roll to $1500. I want to have a very comfy roll from now on because it can be stressful when you are considering a move down. I will for sure be very close to $1500 at the end of the month with rakeback but I think Im just going to cash out my rakeback earning so I have some extra money kicking around and just grind up to $1500 playing. Once I get to $1500 through strictly winnings then I will move up. Who knows tho Im still undecided becasue the money I can be making up at NL50 is nice.... hmmmm.

Alrigt so some hands here... fml lol.

This is my worst hand of the month. Its vs a reg at my game and I should have known this deep that he is not re raising that big with anything other then the straight. I dont really know what I was thinking but I mean Im pretty sure all I was thinking was OMG I HIT A SET OMGOMG but really it was the worst card for me. This is an example of what I was talking about early about bad calls. I mean I do have the re draw for the boat but for the amount of money it was going to cost me to get there I think this was a fold on the turn sadly.

This one just sucks. I read the player to my right perfectly. I knew he was making this raise with top pair so I figured I was good and would isolate him to myself. To bad buddy flopped the straight.

I really hated this one. It went down today and all I can remember was saying this guy has AK I should just fold. Sure enough...

Those hands are what are killing me lately. Half the time the initial read I make is dead on... I just cant talk myself out of it lately lol. But anyways its a pretty easy fix imo so after I make it I will crush :D

Going to roll a joint and go joint to roomies at a baunfire.

I commented on your hands, not very elaborately, but it might help a little anyways.
