Just grinding..

Well this entry probably won't be very long as I just did one yesterday. Today I put in another session at 100NL, dropping a nice 2bis. I'm very proud of myself since dropping only 2 bis after the type of complete and utter bullshit I went through can almost be considered an accomplishment. Let's take a look at some of the lol hands.

Oh a boat? Obv flatted Ks in the big blind. They play good.

Hand of the day

I have been trying to incorporate more bluffing into my game as it seemed like I wasn't bluffing much if at all. Here is a hand I played today against a semi-nitty reg.

Among all this bullshit I am excited for one thing and that is the rebirth of my University cash game. The old club head graduated and I volunteered to take over and run the game. This past week I have hustled hard to find some new players and I fully expect there to be at least 2 full tables to run. We play lower stakes as that is usually the only thing University kids can afford. But yeah the game runs every Wednesday, 0.25/0.50 100 Max no rake and is usually fairly juicy all things considered. If you are in the Ottawa area, comment below if your interested in dropping by.

It's like 4AM right now and I just finished watching my good friend mysterio6044 get butchered on the FT of The Nightly Hundo. He busted 5th I think but lost like 8 allins where he had the opp crushed. It was gross. But yeah I'm off to bed. I won't be grinding tomorrow as I've got a shitload of things I've put off and really need to get to.

So Peace and GL at the tables all!
