August

I believe August is off to a good start though I didnt actually check my results. That isnt why i started this post though, I actually want to set some goals again and aim high.

This month I want to play 50K hands of my A-game at 100NL with the possibility of mixing in some good night time 200NL games given my BR is accepting. I average roughly 650 hands per 90min session thus I will need to book roughly 77 sessions @ 90 min in length which equates to 115hrs of poker. I truly believe this is achievable. Its 115hrs of poker or 40hr work weeks of some crap job making dick and being told what to do by one. My plan is to aim for 3-4 sessions a day M-F with some weekend hours mixed in as well. Given my BR is healthy at the moment I am going to try and shy away from results as well and make decision making my main focus.

I have created a new 2+2 screen name as well and intend to flood the MSNL forum with responses since my aim is to reach 400NL by years end. Along with this I will continue to blog here as often as I feel fit with some HH for your viewing pleasure. Plus you will be able to find some of my troubling hands posted on either DC,LP or CR. I will try and link my hand posts on the forum. Now for some fun.

Easy game: I have the nuts and I go for three streets but this clown decides to give it all to me on the turn.

Really bud? Villain is a 19/15 who folded to cbets a ton so I am not sure I love my 2nd barrel though I think he calls 77,88,TT,AJ and QT on this flop and all but AJ folds the turn. Also I think I may be able to get all of it to fold by the river if I so choose though I am not sure that would be a great idea. TBH in retro think one and done is the answer without any added equity on the turn. Still baffles me when he c/jams. I imagine he had the nutz though he might just be some kind of sick who c/jams a oesd here. Curious what people think of c/jamming a oesd on thew turn if you are villain?

Value town! Villain was a mega donk who had been folding a ton to 2nd barrels. Here he insta calls flop and turn bets which means he has a K like 110% of the time. I decide he cant ever fold and overbet the river for value. Something I stole from D2k actually. Villain like insta snapped which leads me to believe he didnt even look at my bet size which means I could have bet evern bigger.
