Okay Okay

Well here is my graph for the last three days.

I guess I can say with some certainty that my epic downswing has stopped. Both today and yesterday I skyrocketed in my first 5k hands. The last 2k hands though have been heart breakers. Oh well at least I am profiting. I am now going to post a series of hands.

An interesting hand:

Villian is an 11/7. I should of just got it in on the flop as I put him on either AK or kings cause his 3bet was super tiny too.

I had 4bet Dooley like 5 times, finally I got him to ship super light against me and obv he gets there. This hand happened right before the Aces hand posted above.

A marginal hand with LP dynamics:

Villian was a 5/7 but a 3bet of 7 so I decided to stick it in.

I ran some really good bluffs today as well, but I can't post the HHs because I don't remember the cards I was holding. I've also added a new technique into my arsenal and that's reraising raises when it's apparent they are isolating a limper and reraising raises where the hand includes a button flat. There is so much value in this it's unbelievable. For example MP limps, a LP reg 4xs and button flats I can repop to 16 with, I guess just about atc and they'll fold just about any anything. The button flatter almost always has a pocket pair imo and does not have the odds to call the 3bet, and the original raiser is scared to come over the top because the move looks powerful and also because they don't know what the button will do. The MP limper will fold because their terrible lol. It's just an amazing play I'm going to start doing more often.

I'm actually feeling way more confident in my game. Part of it is probably credited to not getting butt raped every time I play a hand. But also I think I'm adjusting a lot and really trying to think differently. I use to play tournaments and be so sure of every move, and usually be right most of the time. With cash games everything is so intricate, their stats and like trying to wrap everything together is crazy.

So yesterday I did half my grind in the morning. At 6 I went to my hockey practice and really killed it this week. I scored 4 goals, and proudly got my first goal from half court. My stick game is crazy and I'm now able to do some really sick dangles and lifts. My accuracy needs some improving but that will come in time. This week they paired me up with a huge (huge as in large in size) offensive player and we actually worked well together. He'd block the vision of the goalie when I was getting close to the net, and we really just read each other well. This is my first year playing but I think I'm pretty good so far. I'm excited to see how I fair against the teams participating in the summer tournament. It's kind of going to be like calling a huge river bet you perceive as a bluff, I'm either going to be way ahead or way behind lol.

After I came back from practice I had to witness catastrophe when my friend SPEKTAH busted 66th in the Sunday Million Special Edition A9 losing to A2. 500k was first place prize which is almost 300k more then usual. He's been making some pretty deep runs in some serious tournaments for some time and I know hes going to bink one any day now.

But yeah, I think I was asked to sell tickets again tomorrow so I guess that's the plan. On Wednesday the fundraiser is going down and also my regular cash game which I am excited for. Oh also, I haven't shaven for like a week which is pretty bad when your arab lol. I should be getting my new shaver tomorrow. It's gonna be like Edward Scissorhands up in this shit.

Anyhow that's all for now, GL at the tables!
