Day 25

I woke up today and actually felt like playing some poker. The end of the month is coming up so I need to make sure that I stick with it so that I can make sure I accomplish this goal. I basically had it in the bag if I had kept playing a lot, but I've barely been playing at all lately. Now that I'm totally settled in at school and my partying should start to decrease a bit I can get back into my normal routine.

I started off really bad today. I don't think I was playing all that great and I was running pretty bad. I was probably stuck almost 10k in the first 30 minutes. I was only planning on playing for an hour and a half so I almost just quit then. I didn't want to get stuck really bad when I knew I wouldn't want to sit here all day and grind out of it. Anyway, I decided to just keep plugging and hope to catch some cards. Luckily, I was able to do just that. I started running pretty hot and ended up winning 5k on the session.

I should note that I ended up playing more yesterday and lost about 2k back. It was all at 5/10nl. I was making a video for cardrunners and just ran awful. It's a two part series and I think it's pretty good. The first part is already posted.

Green tea does not quench thirst at all. I will have to avoid it on hungover mornings.

Here I just tried to control the pot size and make my hand deceptive. I felt like there was a good chance he'd have me in really bad shape if we played a big pot.

This hand was pretty bad.

These opponents are both crazy players. This was an easy call. I'm glad it held up.

I decided to slowplay this one and I'm sure glad I did. He tried to make a thin value bet on the river that basically got him comitted to the pot. I don't think he should bet that river.

Today: +5158.23
Overall: +74592.58

5842.58 AHEAD of pace
