Today was the first day of my goal. I wanted to start out yesterday but was way to hungover/tired to play. Today i played about 1200 hands and couldn't really get much going. I played for about 6 hours and was playing pretty well/running kinda bad. Every time it felt like i was getting some momentum and really going to put up some big numbers i would run into a big hand, which i would lose. I really feel like today would've been a lot better than my results show but the cards were not on my side. Today i felt pretty good playing for a longer period of time than i have been lately. I am going to be putting together 5+ hour sessions everyday until i achieve my goal. My stats show that i have a lot better results when i play for longer amounts of time opposed to playing for an hour and trying to push the action too much. Anyways day 1 was ok i guess, and here are some of my key hands during play. I'm out
Showing this because usually im the one with KK here- http://www.pokerhand.org/?710211
This is an example of both of us knowing how each other plays. He has me on stealing the blinds from the button so reraises which is a fine play. I knew by coming over the top of his resteal here i am taking this pot unless he has kk/aa because he thinks of me as a fairly tight player.

such a sick hand here- http://www.pokerhand.org/?710226 I smooth call the flop to reraise the turn until 1 of 2 cards came i didnt want to see, the A. I have him on aa once he bets out the small amount on the turn so i just call again knowing im paying off his river bet. Then I hit a very nice 1 outer, pretty sick set up by stars here.
Knew this player was on weak pair and still couldnt get him off the hand. So i semi bluff all the way down and needless to say i dont get there. I even value bet the river here playing it exactly like an over pair, yet he calls me all the way down. good call i guess.... not really http://www.pokerhand.org/?710229
sick set up/almost a really sick fold- http://www.pokerhand.org/?710236 I used up all my timebank and almost folded this hand on the flop. I know he has qq here but just am not good enough yet to throw my set away here even though i know im beat. good thing is a lot of top players go broke here too, just one of those hands you will go broke on.
Another bluff where in my opinion the guy makes a terrible call. I had been playing fairly tight and there is absolutely nothing this guy can beat but a bluff. He thought for almost a minute on my river bet and still calls when i know hes thinking hes beat. http://www.pokerhand.org/?710250
Brad kondraki from the 2006 wsop final table getting owned by me haha. Not really just figured i would show it cuz everyone kisses his ass. http://www.pokerhand.org/?710256
The 1 hand i am really mad at how poorly i played it. I tried getting way too cute here and shouldve taken the pot down on the turn, instead i let him hit runner runner. i suck
