Cool

So these past few days have been pretty prosperous. I finally gathered the courage to look at my overall Poker Tracker and starting from the -$300 mark I've turned it around and am at a total of $1.8k profit for 100NL. This made me very happy and although a 60k hand sample (the time from my initial downswing) is no indication as to whether I am playing good or bad, I truly feel that I've made some good adjustments to my game. Hopefully regs fear me a little more which will allow more hands to give me action rather then just Ks+ Lol. One recent thing I've made a part of my game I flatting high 3bettors in position. If they have a high cbet % I can either float them or raise them on the flop. But basically the point is it really puts regs in a tough spot when they have to play a big pot OOP. Especially against such a card shark like myself Lol.

Today I decided that I really want to be able to 24 table so I added another table. 22 tables wasn't actually that difficult, in fact by the end of my session I didn't even notice a difference. So I am going to play like this for another week then add another one on. So on and so fourth. I'm also happy with the speed at which I'm obtaining the stellar rewards. I've unlocked around $400 worth so far which I know is pathetic compared to my high volume colleagues but I am satisfied. Free money is free money right? Once school is finished and I am at home, my plan is to be putting in 40k hands a week. Right now I'm averaging out at about 21-28k hands which isn't too bad imo.

On Wednesday I didn't grind I instead went over to my Moms for dinner. She was going to make some of her special potato pancakes but I instead requested we have tacos. They were obv sick lol. We had a real nice evening. I really love my Mom and sometimes I ignore her cause she bugs me about all the things I neglect to do. Booking appointments, paying bills etc when instead I rather be grinding. But she is filled with such warmth I feel bad and that is one thing I want to change. Whenever I tell her it's fine Mom, you don't need to remind me. She then always says a Mom can't stop being a Mom, and I guess she's right. But yeah after dinner we watched American Idol which was awesome.

Below is a video of Andrew Garcia singing Paula Abdul's "Straight Up". This guy is definitely getting Top 5 at least. If any of you readers likes to do reality show sidebets, holla at me lol.



On Thursday I went into Motion Specialties to get a bunch of things fixed on my chair. Firstly, I need new tires. The ones I had were so old there were holes beginning to form. I then got my footplates readjusted. Footplates are prone to bending and what not because of all the doors/hard objects you run into. New batteries for my chair was ordered, arm rest cushioning replaced, and the operating system on the chairs computer was upgraded (half robot imo). On top of all of that I reprogrammed my speed, torque and a bunch of other things. So yeah you can basically say I'm a new and improved Roddey lolol. Maybe we'll see it translate onto the tables eh :P Lol.

From Thursday night up until now I've been grinding putting in about 7-7.5k hands a day. Looking to crush it again tommorow seeing how it is another day off for the donks to lose stacks. I am now a firm believer that anyone who does not play on the weekend is losing massive EV spots they should be taking if they are a grinding. The level of play is just THAT much worse.

I'm kind of disappointed though cause on Friday I was supposed to have a impromptu hockey practice but I had to cancel it. A friend was supposed to come over that night and my room was still a mess. She ended up bailing which made me very upset because not only do I like chilling with her but I also canceled on my hockey team. I instead invited my Poker student over and spectated his SNGs. After reviewing HHs, he then watched me grind 100NL and kept warning me that I was playing for real money. I lol'd.

Tomorrow I plan on doing another full grind. I also have my hockey practice at 6PM which I am very excited for because of all the upgrades I got on my chair. I should leave my competitors in the dust with the new speed I've acquired :P Lol.
