Nice Sesh

Just played a good 800+ hand session, winning a little over $500. The games were so good that I only really recognized one reg, and he's not even a consistent reg. Oh, it also helps that I got the best of him in a couple of pots.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4927741 - I decide to flat here with the AKdd just simply because I think it nicely disguises my hand, I'm not fond of playing AK in a 3-bet pot oop and I don't want to fold out the hands I dominate, like AQ, AJ, KQ, etc. Anyways, I decide to c/call, lead which I think is a cool line to take on this board. It helps me get a couple more streets of value vs. hands that would check back the turn like AQ which is what he had. Not sure what he's doing on the river, but I'll take it.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4927754 - Not much to say here cept that I get the best of that guy HIIIIIIIIIGH again which is cool. This was actually 20 mins before the above hand, and after that hand, he went off in the chat box.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4927758 - I flat QQ behind, which is something I'm becoming a bigger and bigger fan of. Suck and re-suck, and I get the $$$

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4927760 - Sick, sick bvb hand. Keep the coolers coming!

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4927763 - Pretty cool hand. This guy was playing 39/17 with a pretty high steal percentage. I def like this 3b against a normal 3x or 3.5x raise. Seems to me, though, that min-raisers don't like to fold to 3b's. So I made it a little more than pot, and he called. I decided to just c/call flop then check/reevaluate turn. I honestly think these types of fisher players' ranges are so polarized when they do 3 barrel that I felt compelled to pay off the river, esp considering everything missed.

There were really no significant lost pots. Good session overall, and I hope that the games are always this good.

I'm going to the Apple Cup tomorrow in which should be a pretty ugly game. Should be fun though.

Until then,

First in the Silly 1.5k gtd

Just took down the 11pm $10 1.5k gtd tourney on UB for like $750 or something silly. The whole situation was so so so ridiculous that I am sitting here laughing to myself. The past three days, I have been at home being extremely unproductive and playing a ton of poker. I had been down a decent amount playing in a 2-20 spread game at the Silver Dollar. I went deep in a FTP tourney last night only to essentially bubble the FT which obv sucks.

Then today we had happy day with the crew which started out at a new Hooters Casino in Renton. I insta dropped $100 in the pit and the four of us successfully busted with no cash in the one table TURRnament. So I'm pissed off, but w/e we decide to go back to the SD to play some more 2-20 spread. I successfully lose another $100. We had been drinking since about 11, and I am worried that if I continue to drink beer, I will become very sleepy soon, and I'm not that drunk, and it's 4pm. So I decide to start drinking some hard stuff (probly not a good decision). Anyways, we take some shots and then go to Roxy's to play in their 6:30 TURRnament. I go busto in that, and then decide to take whatever I have left to the pit and drop about another $100 or so there. So I'm in super depressed/drunk mode.

We leave there and head home, and I decide that I have the decision to go to bed or play in the 11pm TURRnament. I click register and proceed to cruise through the field en route to the first place finish. That cash is actually pretty big for me just in terms of overall confidence. Losing sucks, and I'm happy that I was able to bounce back from the rough last couple of days. I know that it's not a ton of money obv, but it's fun to know that, after all of the events in the last 72 hours, I'm actually showing a slight profit!

Anyways, it's almost 5am, and I need to go to sleep. REAL Thanksgiving soon!

God Bless,

JG
