This is going to be a pretty short post so here goes. I played for about 3 hours and was immediately down about 900 dollars after the first half hour. I was playing this idiot heads up and he was just hitting every card against so he took about 900 off me. Then i played 3 full tables and won some nice pots/lost some big pots that really prevented me from making any money. So as hard as i tried to get back to even i came up a little short but thats ok after being down 900 to start. I also played in the 20 dollar heads up tourney that i took 2nd in the day before and managed to finish 11th this time but it only paid like 60 bucks so it was pretty much a waste of time. Anyways here are some hands from yesterday, i dont really feel like explaining any of them so im just going to put them up and im out.

Day #24/ 1st real session since Vegas
Today i finally managed to get together a session that was longer than 2 hours. I played for about 8 hours and had some pretty good results to show for it. I played about 4 hours of cash games seeing around 600 hands and the other 4 hours was in a tournament. The cash games i played were 3 tables of 5/10 nl and 2 tables of 10/20nl on stars. I played pretty well in the 5/10 games and picked up some big hands for some nice pots and in the 10/20 i played well on one table but bad on another. I am pretty mad about the 10/20 because the table i did bad on was really soft and i just wasn't able to get anything going on there. I quit playing cash games around 8 to watch the red wings game and Lost but decided to get in a 20 dollar heads up tourney. I really got in this tourney just kind of as a joke and kind of just something to do while sitting on the couch watching TV. There were 189 people in the tournament and it paid the top 32 players. Spots 32-16 only made like 50 and 16-8 paid like 110 so in my mind it would really be pointless unless i finished in the top 8. Top prize was like 980 and second was 540 then spots 5-8 got paid 250. So with that being said i ended up taking 2nd overall but really really really wanted to take the first. I guess its ok to make while killing time watching tv though haha. That was probably the worst competition i have faced in a long time though, it was like i was playing against monkeys haha. Anyways i am going to get some sleep and hope to get together another good session tomorrow I'm out. Here are some hands from today but it sucks i don't have the final hand of the tourney because i played on my laptop.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804162 - this guy was playing pretty poorly so once that flop hit i was praying he had a big over pair and he did. The rest explains itself.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804165 - trying to pick up the blinds here but at the same time i make this raise with big hands too. Once the flop hits i represent at least ak in this spot and unless someone has ak i get away with it.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804180 - Here i think i am value betting the river and get check raised where i make a bad call i guess. I thought he had ak in this spot and put me on ak as well so just tried to take it instead of splitting the pot with me and i was wrong.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804186 - here is how u snap off AA haha. No but really the preflop reraise threw me but once he bet the 150 on the flop i know he has a big pair here. So i figure i have 9 outs and if i hit one of them i am going to bust him so i call the flop. Now the 9 on the turn is a really good card for me because it now gives me 13 outs. So once he bets the 300 out on the turn i thought about check raising but at this point i know i am going to be called so there is no real point. So i just call and if i miss the river i check and fold but i hit my card and push hoping for a call and i get one.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804193 - pretty nice pot here for a 5/10 table and i find a way to not get rivered.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804196 - rivered.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?804199 - this guy just makes a nice bet on the turn which i can not call. I know his play and his bet on the flop just screamed of some type of draw so I have him on a club draw and raise to 330. He calls and once the club hits i am done with the hand. He made a nice play but i was right about him being on a draw on the flop so if the club doesnt hit the turn and say a blank like a 2 of hearts comes it wouldve been very interesting to see what he wouldve done then.

Day # 23
Well today i played poker for the first time in a while and had some okay results. I played 2 tables of 5/10nl and 1 table of 10/20 and was absolutely card dead. Today was a really boring day of cards. I don't think i played any big pots and it really felt like i was just sitting around getting blinded away. I did only play for like 3.5 hours but after hitting the fold button 84940934 million times it felt like an eternity. I have been really slacking off the past week on this goal and really plan on playing a lot over the next few weeks. I was on a pretty good pace before going to Vegas and it seems like since i have been back i haven't been able to get a single good session in. I am for sure going to play at least 6 hours through the next 3 days and hope to get back ahead of schedule for the goal. Right now i am right on pace to break it in 100 days but i was really hoping that i could do it before that. With that being said i am going to get some rest so check back tomorrow and I'm out. Here are some hands from today.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?800935 - Interesting hand here against a super aggressive player. His bet on the river is a total bluff that he missed on or is a real big hand. I took time and thought forever on the river but finally folded because i have seen him make this bet many times with huge hands so i decided to let it go.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?800944 - another hand against the same player that i was not going to fold. I knew if i kept checking to him he would just keep firing at it on the flop and turn. I was planning on betting the river but there would be really no point because i didn't have him on an A and he wont call with anything unless i am beat and also i give him another chance to bluff on the river.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?800949 - I really have him on a hand like aj/aq when he pushes here so i call. He could have a mid pair here but if so than i am about 50/50 anyways so i call.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?800951 - This guy would've got some more money out of me here if he played it stronger. Once he raised the 100 on the turn i was pretty sure i was beat but wanted to see it anyways so i call and goodbye money.

Daily total- 453.98 Not bad for not really playing any hands

Day # 21 i guess.............
I have fallen into my old ways of not having time to play due to my drinking. I didnt play yesterday or today due to the fact it was the weekend and i dont wake up before 2. Today was the STUPER bowl and it was fucking awesome as usual. We had a party and by the end of the 3rd quarter it was pretty much a total gong show. I didnt even want to bet on the game but ended up betting 50 on the colts just to make it interesting to watch. I knew the colts would win but i really didnt think they would cover the spread of 7 so it was pretty sweet that i won a big 50 bucks, ballllinnnnnnnnnnnn haha. Rex gossman shouldve been thje mvp of the game he is such a piece of shit and completely fucking sucked just like i figured he would. haha i am being stupid blastign techno at like 4 on a sunday morning and i fucking love it.. I was really drunk and about to pass about but now im fucking rocking and might get on Stars and hand out some money haha. I just got into my techno playlist so i will probably be up til tuesdayhaha, download some benny benassi immediately and some old schoold MJ and some ricky james to get shit poppin aka my favorite song, give it to me baby..anyways i am drunk and i plan on getting this blog back on track within a few days so check back for that and im out......... and by out i mean i am probably going to play a few tables and hand out money.
