Grindage
September has officially arrived and I need to play a shit ton this month. I crushed August but slacked off in the volume department. This month is 40k hands or bust. Speaking of busting my engine blew up on my ride while away on a trip which is going to put a dent in my BR for sure. Anyways just more reason to play play play. One thing I am lacking is study time as well. My biggest downfall is time wasting on the web. This month I am going to make a conscious effort to minimize web surfing and put a greater emphasis on pre game study and post game review. Hopefully this blog will be a place for some of that. I will be keeping a count on my sessions and hands as well.

19.5k
Thats all the fucking hands I played this month after flying out to a sweet start. My kid being without daycare and camping/LA weekends amount to slacking. I killed it for like $50+ an hour playing mainly 100NL though I did manage 2k hands at 200NL with a very small win rate. I am actually a bit disappointed in my performance at the tables as of late and have some minor tweaks to make as well as some deep thinking to do. Sept should be a month for productivity with my little man back at school and no major events planned. I also plan on restricting myself from Sun-Thur drinking which will mean poker at night.
I will leave you with a few hands of interest. But real quick I will try and post on DC and link hands for you guys to comment either there or here.
Call,call,call?
~I was bulldozing the table and villain was the mark playing like 60vpip. I had a note that he liked to slowplay though it did indicate that he VB small. By the river my odds were to nice to fold. Thoughts on all streets appreciated.

~No reads besides donkish stats and a uber low AF. Turn I consider raising for value though I am not super stoked getting it in at this point I dont think. River is an easy value raise based on bet sizing. Again thoughts are welcome.

40
So I played quite terrible yesterday and was overall just not pleased with play from my 1st session which lead to me not playing anymore. This is something I know Taylor used to do and I just felt like regrouping and starting fresh today was the best idea. Unfortunately I decided to make some less then par decisions today to start my session and was near quitting because of my play but decided to play through and turned it around with some sweet hands. I posted one hand on DC
Biggest BB pot?
I was playing insane on this table just pounding on the donk limper and I think preflop is an easy call. Flop is standard I think. WOW!

3bet potsky.
~Villain is a light 3better with a polarized range and he likes to pound on my LP iso's. I flat OOP which is a bit fresh for me and I am not to sure of it in general. Flop I excpect him to play straightforward given he knows I fold a ton to 3bets and when he chxs I know he is weak. Turn is a perfect bluff card for villain and I do actually consider leading it to take that option away. I decide to c/c instead with the idea of c/c the river. River is air though it does give me the nuts vs his semi bluffs+P and I decided if he jammed I was calling because this guy is super aggro and will try and make me fold TT/QQ and other weak 1p hands here a ton. I really wish he folded for his last quarter. (This may have been terrible poker but I was thinking)
