Well folks it feels like Christmas over here. The day finally arrived where I'd make some gains towards profiting again. Today I put in a 7k hand session and ended up 6 bis. I would attribute it to a couple of things. I have now become a lot more aggressive post flop, always making sure I have control of the hand. I am finding that you can really bluff the regs with a fair amount of ease by just bloating the pot and barreling huge on the river. This was not the case before as I'd just check behind on the flop, flat a turn bet etc etc. Another adjustment I've made is my 3bet size in multiway pots. Before it was way to small and I'd be semi confused with huge hands post flop. But now by juicing the 3bet size up a bit the decisions are pretty clear cut. These tweaks are thanks to some discussion with friend and fellow 100NL reg krissyb24 and also 2+2 pro lyda12345.
I don't think I ran particularly well today - no set over sets, I did get As vs Ks. But I also got coolered a bunch of times. Basically it just seems weekends are way more fishy. Instead of having like 6 regs at the table and 1 fish, it's like 3 or 4 regs at the table and 5 fish. It's pretty much the nuts. So yeah playing on the weekends is mandatory from now on.
I am kinda disappointed with myself in regards to my lack of volume. Today was my first session since Tuesday and although I do have legitimate reasons for not playing aside from a lack of desire, I need to truly realize this is my job, and to earn a income I have to play. I was privileged enough to be able to look at Nicks graph and over 2.5M hands I was able to see more than 1 300k breakeven stretch. 300k breakeven stretch, I haven't even played 300k hands lol. So essentially what I'm getting at is for me to reach my true winrate, I need to start playing more or at least at a consistent rate. I'm really just beating myself up right now, but anyways lol.
This has been a pretty crazy week for me. Wednesday night I hosted the cash game at my University and it's safe to say that it was a success. We had a good turnout and we were even able to open a second table at one point. The game has never been fishier now that all the good players have graduated. Some good friends OTT CANADA and SPEKTAH even rolled through for an hour and that was pretty fun. Our table ran more like the FT of the Sunday 500 for that hour ;). But yeah all in all it was great and I hope it runs as smoothly next week.
A lol story at 11:59PM a security guard came around locking all the doors. She comes in the room where we're playing and says there no Poker on campus. I'm like this isn't Poker we're playing Euchre (lol even though we were using Poker chips and everything). She's like well there's no gaming on campus. I'm like k fine we're just finishing up. She says ok and leaves. Everyone was panicking not knowing whether we should pack up or not, I smelt a bluff so I asked someone to check if she had locked the door. If she locked the door it means she's not coming back because no school police or whatever is that dedicated to come back after doing their primary tasks. If she left it unlocked however I'd suspect she did it as a reminder and she was going to be returning to bust us. So the guy checked the door and it was locked and I ordered to stand ground. Fast forward 15 minutes and we declare victory. I called the bluff and we were obv goot.
Thursday was a pretty meaningless day. I had to do some school things which ultimately tied up my day. Friday was one of longest days in history.
So next Wednesday my hockey team is putting on a fundraiser at our schools on campus bar. We have a band playing there, a raffle and silent auction. I was asked to help sell tickets on Friday. I was up at 9AM to hand in one of the forms for school, and I had planned to go back to sleep especially since I only got 3 hours the night before. But that wasn't going to happen lol. One of my fellow teammates calls me up at 10AM telling me they needed me at the stand right now. All I could think was fml. I literally felt like crap, no shower, my shaver broke so not shaven and running on 3 hours of sleep Lol. I wanted to say no but I knew my team needed my help. The average number of tickets sold per day up until Friday was 6. I on my own sold 50 LOL. $3/ticket that's $150 aka 1.5bis in our game LOL. My team was so happy and I felt like a IRL sicko which isn't a normal feeling as I'm not usually part of IRL LOLOL.
After I was done at the stand I came back to my place and it was 9PM. I told my buddy Adam (fishbones11) and Krissy (krissyb24) that I planned to go to sleep within that hour. sfobv not if Adam had anything to say about it. I ended up staying up till 2:30AM railing his deep run in the Nightly Seventy Grand before eventually falling asleep on Skype lol. I hung up with them and crashed in my bed insta.
But yeah that's pretty much my week in recap. Tomorrow I have my hockey practice at 6 and I plan to put in a solid grind up until then. I wish everyone GL in the Sunday majors hope one of y'all ship it. And if you do, don't forget your buddy Free Advice ;) LOL.
Oh yeah, you know how you know you run good? Tonight I got a $115 transfer out of nowhere, from someone I don't know. Mistyping usernames ftw. Felt like I was playing Monopoly for asec, on some bank error type shit lol. Anyhow guys and gals GL!
