Almost 6 hours=$877.24...

best part is I ran above EV (not that I care). It is funny how I hate running below but now I am like wait a second does running above mean I am making bad decisions.

Today was a hectic day at the tables with me going up up up to 1k and then back down down down to near even only to turn it around and end with a very uneventful/gay night session. I nearly booked 6 hours but I am not overly concerned that I didnt.

As for improvement goes I have made two choices in that department, 1)I am going to get me some coaching, 2) I am now Hudless. I honestly see a TAG and get emotional when he has position and 3bets me. I do very spewy things based on HUD and need to focus so much more on game flow. I will be 4 tabling obviously. Anyways nailed 2136 hands today in just under 6 hours and am in the green for the month.

This is a major leak of mine. Check calling. I opted to c/c vs a reg on a wet board knowing he is firing here and also that I would check fold here alot. The river is a fold imo.

This is another gross spot where I should fold even though I flatted the flop to allow villain to spew. Problem is Ax is a big part of his range and I doubt he DB it on a bluff often.

Now the Hero call of the day. At the time I was sick but i think in retro this is a pretty easy call as villain is repping very little.

Came up a bit short but whatever. The truth is I wanted to play more but decided against it as this was my 1st real day back grinding and I didnt want to over do it. Logged 2104 hands while dropping 3BI. I played good overall besides a few too many bluffs and river calls. I really need to focus on hand reading and trusting myself to fold. The truth is I still am blown away by the suckouts on AP. Honestly playing at FTP for a stint I swear I didnt see as many disturbing turn and river cards. It isnt just against me either its while watching other players SD too. I definately need to snug up just a bit and learn to pick my spots better. I have two fun hands for the day.

Villain is a super lag tard opening everything everywhere. I should focus mainly on 3betting for value but instead I decide to make a retarded 3bet. When he donks the flop I wasnt sure what to do. I feel like he never has it but do I want to raise call it off? I opted to make a 3x raise and he calls. The turn is where it gets interesting as we have picked up some added equity. I think this is my biggest leak. Bet sizing. I should basically have 4x the flop setting up an easy turn shove. Instead I check like a bitch because I really hate bet calling it off with J high and I wasnt exactly sure what villains range is. The river is gin but is it? I considered flatting but then again he could have gotten tricky with a set or 2p and I need to ship. GG me.

Not sure how I feel about this hand. Turn check min raises tend to be stupid strong but I didnt want to fold just yet. When he bets uber gay on the river I really wanted to fold but I decided against it.

To close, I love this game. Everyday something different, no two hands alike. Soon it will equate to me booking some wins.

Day 1

Quick note: I am seriously disappointed in myself but at the same time proud of my poker friends. 2 players whom I started talking poker with more then a year ago are now leggo pros. 2 other players whom I started talking with early this year are crushing the game and 5 figure months are standard. I have decided that I will no longer stand for it. This is my month to get on the right track. I am going to be grinding like a beast and if results are showing come mid month I will be looking for a coach.

Today I did not fulfill my daily goal as the fam was home and we did the x-mas tree thing. I booked 1.5 hours and lost just under a buy in. My main focus this month will be 4 tabling with a random 6 table session mixed in now and then. Tomorrow I will play 5.5 hours. If anyone who reads this is a DC member I highly suggest you start using there forums. The midstakes are awesome as many of their pros give feedback. Also the forum is very user friendly imo.
