Lessons of the day

I originally created this blog to help motivate myself to 'wrap-up' every day with the lessons I learned from that days sessions/videos + my thoughts on an interesting hand. Once again, I struggle with maintaining a more-than-rigorous 12 hour schedule, so to end my day with ONE more productive task is very difficult for me, considering my gaming/degenerate history. I've always had the bad habit of: work about 70% hard for a few hours -->> end day with a blunt and some TV. It's hard to break out of old habits.

The last two weeks have been good though. Me and Joe finally developed a schedule we really really like and it looks a bit like this: up everyday at 7, session 75 minutes, do p90x (totally amazing home-workout program, for those interested send a PM I'd be glad to help), shower/eat/session before 12:00, then HH review. From 1:00-3:00 we work on anything business, from contacting companies/finding potential partners/investors to working on our site and formulating other business plans. Then basically from 3 to 8 we do 2 more sessions, HH review and generally watch a video/discuss. Saturdays & Sundays are very casual, since our goal is to eventually reserve every Sunday for some comedic PUA show we've been dying to start filming. It's a busy day, but it's invigorating to be learning so much everyday and being so productive at the same time .. not to mention feeling extremely healthy and getting more ripped everyday.

Anyway, on to poker:

- 3betting hands like JT92ds in SB vs a LP raise is better 150bbs deep than 100, since people won't be raising gay flops as light.

- ALWAYS ALWAYS give a bare minimum of 10% of their range to be complete monkey BS in SSPLO.

- Generally, people who lead in 3b pots are trying to get folds out of hands with similar equity.

1) Conversely, in 3b pots, vs a range that mostly consists of aces, we can eliminate the aspect of 1) trying to maximize equity, and focus primarily on 2) try to bluff him off a better hand/hand with similar equity. So better to lead a board like T83 2-tone with a wrap because, with proper bet sizing (bet a good amount on flop so we can shove PSB on the turn), we can get him to fold any diamond turn, since nobody is just calling there with AAxxdd.

2) With a hand like JJQdd, we should consider other options since we're allowing him to play turns so well - basically folding all the cards that complete our draws. Regardless I like leading there anyway with that specific hand since a) most the money is probably going in regardless so doesn't really matter what happens, and b) if he folds a non-diamond Q or 7 turn.

3) IP in same situation with AAxx, we should be shoving the flop 90% of the time.

- GTO demands that somebody who bets the flop and then check-calls the turn when a flush comes, we need to be barreling 100% of the time on good rivers since he's c/cing there with a lot of sets + lower flushes + some 2pairs.

- Start 3betting some double-paired connected hands for deception + bluff value.

1) Pay very close attention to the hands and the situations we get in when 3 betting OOP. The main issue is most people turn their hands face up by the turn.

P.S. Laptop died and lost ALL my hands/programs/convo histories/cdkeys . What do you guys think about this badboy:

Note I mostly use an external monitor, play 90% poker, 10% games, and move around a lot.

P.P.S. If you go to tigerdirect through bing.com you get a 15% discount on EVERYTHING.

i'm super interested in the p90x workout, mostly because i don't want to sign up for a gym membership

can you blog more about your workout in the future?

Looks like really good stuff, if I could add anything it would be, take a shower asap when you get up. Your body squeezes out crap when you sleep, dead cells that kind of stuff, and a shower right at the start of the day is top notch.

And if you have problem with watching movies, browsing, not doing much end of the day, learn about meditation, it kinda starts when you get bored/restless, and meditation teaches you to never get bored, and you can refocus and keep on with what you want to do.

Oh, and sounds nice to have those "free" days in the weekends, but purely from a poker standpoint, it's not smart, games are most profitable during the weekends and holidays.
