Day # 11

Today was a pretty uneventful day. I played for about 3 hours and saw around 600 hands without much success. Today i was really just card dead. I couldn't pick up any hands and when i would try to make a play it seemed like i would get re raised every time. There really isn't much else to say about today's play other than the fact that i didn't catch any hands and when i did they didn't hold up. I plan on putting together another long session tomorrow as well as playing a few tournaments. I am going to play the 215 buy in on stars and maybe another but we will see. So with that being said check back tomorrow night for hopefully a nice score in the tournament and cash games. Here are a few hands and I'm out.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?736961 - This was the only decent pot i won today. After that flop hits i know the money is going into the middle. Once he bets the flop i know he has aa/kk/ak and in this spot i am 50/50 or even a slight favorite to win against these hands. So i decide to get it in the middle and i will gamble with these hands everytime against a big pair.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?736974 - here i guess i shouldve taken the free card on the river. But i had him on a weak Q or possible spade draw and will take the pot down most times with my bet on the turn. Unfortunately he was stronger and i cant continue with this hand. I could push but i think hes pot committed at this point and i could even be drawing dead.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?736985
http://www.pokerhand.org/?736991 - here i just decide i feel like gambling. A10 is pretty weak but he could have any mid pair and i am still around 25% to win against jj qq kk. Also i know the players behind were pretty weak and i can isolate the all in and try to hit an A. I was also getting around 3 to 1 on my money so i think it was a good play that just didnt work out.

These hands are pretty lame but they were really the only "big" pots i was involved in today.

Day # 10

Today started off pretty rocky but i was able to crawl out of the red and back into the green. I only managed to play for about 4 hours and was down about 2k after just an hour of play. I kept playing my game though and was able to turn my 2k deficit into a pretty decent win for starting out so shitty. Somebody recently asked me how come people couldn't leave comments on my page and i didn't even realize it was turned off. So i fixed that for any of you who want to leave a comment or just harass me haha. Anyways i am in the process of getting drunk/ready for tonight so check back tomorrow, I'm out. Here are some hands from today's session.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?734758
http://www.pokerhand.org/?734761 - pretty poor play here from me. I knew he had to have a set in this spot but stupidly talked myself into him having 67 here. Very poorly played hand.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?734771 - this couldve been a lot worse.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?734780 - me trying to get to tricky again. The one card i didn't want to see on the turn hits.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?734784 -This was my 1st hand dealt at this table and i accidentally sat down with 600 instead of 1000 which sucks because i feel like i lost 400 here. At the same time though the guy probably doesn't push all in if i have 1k instead of 600.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?734790 - this guy always overplays over pairs and here is a perfect example.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?734791 - 3 handed play i flop a monster hand here and he attempts to bluff me off it on the river. I instantly called here and that was the end of him haha.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?734799 - slow playing kk here and it worked out exactly as planned.

Daily total- 1,257.22 (feels like i won 5k after starting off down 2k)

Day # 9

Today was kind of a break through day in terms of the goal. I was playing well and running pretty good too. I played my longest session in a long time of 9 hours and saw around 1500 hands today. I am pretty pleased with my results today because i am now ahead of schedule on achieving my goal. I have been trying to play a lot of smaller pots lately and i think it has really improved my game. Instead of getting involved in a lot of all in pots i feel i can outplay people after the flop. I also played my first tournament tonight in a long time and got fairly deep in it. I played the $150 buy in on pokerstars and ended up finishing 59th out of 1145 people for $481 so that was a good confidence booster. I really haven't played any tournaments in the past month and wanted to see how i would do. I have final tabled this tournament 2 times in the past (3rd, 4th) for a couple nice pay outs. I really want to improve my tournament game and i think after this goal that is something i am going to focus on. Anyways it is pretty late and i will be back at it tomorrow so check back. Here are some of my key hands for your viewing pleasure.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?732828
http://www.pokerhand.org/?732830 -No way i can call this reraise but i think he just smooth called the original raiser with a big hand.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?732833 - absolutely sickening. Just glad he only had 500 i guess.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?732835 - me getting pretty lucky here.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?732836
http://www.pokerhand.org/?732838 - pretty good lay down here i think. I dont have him on the hearts but more likely a set. This guy was only showing close to the nuts everytime he was betting big like this. Might have been A with the k of hearts but i think i made the right play.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?732841
http://www.pokerhand.org/?732846 - once he bets out the 120 here on the flop i am absolutely positive he has qq here. After that i just try to extract as much from him as possible.

Day # 8

Today i was able to put together a pretty lengthy session with some alright results. I played for about 6 hours and saw about 1400 hands. I put together some ok results but lost a few big pots towards the end of my session which really cut down my winnings. I really feel that i play my best game when i play longer sessions and really get a feel for how the table is playing. I am really going to try and play for at least 5 hours+ from now on. I am a little behind pace on achieving the goal but i have plenty of time left so I'm not to worried about it. I was close to putting up some pretty good numbers today but ran into a few big hands towards the end of the day. Well anyways here are some key hands from today and i will be grinding it out again tomorrow.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?730088 - I couldve got away from this but hes a pretty good player and couldve easily had qq or ak in this spot.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?730094 - 2 bluffs going at it, unfortunately he got the last move in. Like i just said he is a good player and just happened to have more moves on this hand than i did.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?730104
http://www.pokerhand.org/?730112 -no idea how i didn't get rivered again.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?730119- this guy was playing horrible and knew i had him beat. The other caller behind me actually folded JJ which isn't that bad of a fold.

Day # 7

Today was pretty much another wasted day in terms of poker. I had to wake up early (by 1) and do a lot of running around during the day. Then after that i got side tracked by how sick tiger woods 07 is on ps3, and thats without the HD cable. I was planning on playing after that but watched the red wings game instead. I couldve watched it in my room and played but i dont have a plasma in my room. Besides all that though i actually squeezed in about a half hour of play haha. I played about 100 hands and nothing exciting happened during the half hour. Here are a few of the "key hands" during my marathon session haha. I am for sure playing at least 7 hours+ tomorrow to make up for the past few days. So with that being said i am going to get some shut eye, check back tomorrow.

Day # 6

Today was one of those days where i wasn't really in the mood to play poker so i only played for about 2 hours. I guess the fact that best buy replaced my PS3 today with a new one didn't help in me wanting to play either. I only saw about 500 hands but had some ok results for not really playing that long. I am pretty tired so i am going to go get some rest for a big session tomorrow. Check back tomorrow for hopefully some big numbers and another day in the green. Here are some hands from today and I'm out.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?725089
http://www.pokerhand.org/?725096- thought he was trying to steal here and i know he thinks i play pretty tight so he has to put me on aa/kk in this spot. So unless he has aa/kk in this spot i will pick this pot up almost every time.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?725099 -me getting pretty lucky. Once i re raise the flop i have to call the 140 more even though i knew i was beat. Lucky me
http://www.pokerhand.org/?725106 - This hand i really out tricked myself. I check the flop here trying to represent ak and hoping someone bets out so i can check raise it. Once that turn hits i try to get value out of my hand and get 1 caller. I have him on mid pair like 99 or clubs once he calls, not the 10. I really hated to see the club on the river but i bet out anyways because i am going to call anyways if i check and he pushes in his last 200. I don't think i played this bad i just tried to get too sneaky and it didn't work out.

sorry for the lack of hands but there weren't to many worth posting.

Day # 5

Today i played for around 6 hours and saw about 1200 hands. I had some pretty decent results today but still feel like i couldve been up so much more. I keep running into 1 or 2 big hands each session which i cant get away from and end up getting stacked. The thing that sucks is these are hands that there really is no way that i am not going to go broke with. I keep running into set over set and theres really no way you are not going to go broke with these types of set ups. I am pretty happy with my play today and think overall i would give myself an A- on my play today. I really shouldve been up much more on the day but ran into another set over set right before i logged off. So instead of being up around 4k i am up only around 2k but eventually my luck will change and ill be the one with the higher sets, hopefully. Anyways here are some hands for your viewing pleasure and i am out.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?722898
http://www.pokerhand.org/?722902 - shortstack morons that just push all in everyhand
http://www.pokerhand.org/?722903 -bad read here but he either has a monster or missed diamonds, i chose the wrong one.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?722907
http://www.pokerhand.org/?722910 -idiot trying to push me around
http://www.pokerhand.org/?722912 - my aces actually holding up for once.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?722917
http://www.pokerhand.org/?722918 -The hand that stopped me from having a good day.
