September Results

Well, it's been a while, and now I'm in Las Vegas. The move went pretty smoothly and I'm having a great time out here. Still waiting on my couch to be delivered, but I picked up some nice things for the place and it's really starting to shape up around here. The weather is great out here, and I'm starting to settle into a routine.

I clearly didn't play a ton of poker this month but I had great results despite that. I'm going to look into a new laptop, and I found a sick 24" sceptre monitor with better specs than my 30" dell which I might get for $360! Crazy sick price, and would go well with the new lappy. It's 1080p res, 2ms response time! (my dell is 12ms) and it has 4000:1 contrast ration which is ridiculous.

Next month I really want to play as many hands as possible, now that I'm almost completely settled in it should be much easier to get the hands in.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1540328 The only really interesting hand that has come up in a while. Put yourself in the heat of the moment. Your opponent is a 14/5 regular who you've played with a bunch.

Here are my results for September.

The Opponent in the hand ended up having QQQ.

Goal Complete!

Took a few weeks longer than I had expected, but I got it done. Pretty big day for me. I will keep updating the blog periodically, but I doubt I'll give daily updates for a little while. If anyone has ideas for another goal let me know. I may start one up again in a few weeks
Maybe I'll write a little more about this goal being over later...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1440604 Funny hand.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1440606 Weird hand, but when he insta leads the turn, I'm not sure what I can beat?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1440609 I kinda froze as to what to do, but I didn't want any card coming on the turn to kill my action. Big pot for me.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1440614 If there was ever an "easy" fold with KK preflop, this was it.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1440616 What a dream flop. I guess I could have checked.. but look at all those people!

No goal yet / End week 24

I've been all over the place lately, and not playing too much. Running bad on fulltilt right now but breaking even at least. I'm really looking forward to finishing this goal within the next week or so.
I only played 3 days in week 24.

Week 24 Total +$14
Since 8/25 +$469
Total Goal Left $1,052

Ugh

So I guess I really didn't even have a chance yesterday. I ran bad all day, and I couldn't buy a pot with a set or overpair. I think I got stacked 5 times yesterday, so I guess the results weren't as bad as they could have been.

I don't feel like posting any of the hands because it will just frustrate me. They aren't interesting at all anyway.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1409142 Oh wait, I forgot I made another royal flush.

100th Post / End Week 23

So I guess it's pretty cool that I have kept up with the blog for this long. And while I still haven't reached my goal after 100 posts, I'm well on my way to it.

I put in a relatively short session yesterday, but a good one anyway. I've almost completely recovered from my worst session since the blog started. It's clear I won't get 60k hands played this month, and I guess I'm not too upset. 40k hands is still in reach and will be good enough. As far as september goes, 40k hands will be my goal for that month as well. Between the move, and setting up the new place, that might prove to be my toughest hand goal for one month yet.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1406185 I really can't explain hands like this. Every once in a while, things just seem to make sense to me. He's representing one hand in my opinion. His timing also suggested the same thing. I don't think many people could have saved money here.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1406193 Crucial river check by me after two INSTA calls.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1406195 In this hand, "Arcadefire" had just made a monster noob bluff. He utg min raised with Q4o and called my raise. I had KK vs his Q4o but gave up on the hand after my flop c bet on Axx all one suit. He then over-shoved the river for 250
on Axxxx 4 hearts with Qhi and showed. I had no heart of course. Since "patient" is a tight regular I was willing to play arcade all in and sweat a non spade turn. Wootsauce.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1406199 I guess Q2 and Q4 are possible in the BB but I really felt like a shove was necessary by me. Still had to think about it though.

Week 23 Total +$365 (not including yesterday's net) - not bad considering -$1300 on 8/20

Yesterday's Net +$584
Total Goal Left $1,026
