61

I am drained. Today was a rough day at the tables with rampant 3betting and fish just making hands. It felt like FD's were coming in left and right. I stayed solid through it all and booked a win I think. The roll is growing which is nice and my game is getting stronger everyday. I feel like one weak spot in my game at the moment is dealing with villains who exploit my fold to 3bet%. Will have to work on it obviously as I cant avoid it forever. Anyways glad to be taking a day off tomorrow and just enjoying family time. I will leave you with a few sweet hands from today.

Really?
~From 1st to worst. These hands dont bug me but rather amuse me.

Wtf are the numbers for in your blog titles?!?!

If you read the 1st blog of the month you would know. I am counting down how many sessions I estimated I needed to play 50k hands. I think I under estimated but I will still be quite satisfied with 77, 90min sessions. Or 115hrs in a month. Honestly I think 120 hours would be optimal.

I did read your first blog post of the month, I just did not make the correlation between number of sessions and blog titles which is not in your post.
