Well I have been busy with a lot of things both starting and completing. Two Sunday’s ago I graduated with my BA in Marketing and now starting the job search and trying not to have to relocate, but will if need be. All while trying to figure out a company or service I could start up online on the side and attempt to turn in into a full time gig, find a job with a start up or newer company, or in some facet that deals with poker. I have the work ethic, but just need to keep brainstorming for an idea I’m passionate about.
I have been playing cards pretty much all online but do plan on going out to a charity poker room this Friday night, but haven’t decided on whether to go to a new one or one we have visited previously. Online has been up and down, I seem to been playing too passively on the turn in the cash games, since everyone has been getting there on me very cheaply. Will need to review some hands and see if it’s variance or my fault. The pattern has been to get myself stuck pretty good and then grind back to even or small profit. That needs to change since it’s very hard to make a profit with that game plan. Trying to get back in the groove I have been attempting to take more screen shots to post along with posting some hands replayed, but haven’t went thought them yet so only these two pictures:
On the picture on the left is my bust out hand in a $1 re-buy tournament a few before the bubble, all the money went in on the turn and would have game me a lot of chips to make a run.
On the right is a hand in a cash game where the villain called me down every street. I mean I like playing against players that are such POW, but it hurts when they rake a pot like that with a 6 high flush.
Shortly after the re-buy period ended in the $1 re-buy, I get into a series of hands with this guy who seemed to have a good hand for three of my raises I did for like two orbits. He laid down is hands for the first two which happened to be AK suited and Aces. I limp with JJ in early position as the big stack and we have two more limper’s before the villain raises to 1.5k – 2k with 8/9k behind, folds to me and I raise 5x with a 20k + stack, and he tanks before calling with AsQs and flops top two and doubles up. No problem I know how he feels, probably thought I was picking on him and had to put a stop to it, but after he types something like “see too aggressive”, while I agree its quite aggressive this is a $1 re-buy so people call off their stacks with hands that make you double take. I usually don’t respond but simply typed “too lucky” and he types two or three quick response calling me an idiot and that it doesn’t take luck to win races and finishes calling me another name, at this point I don’t care and figure I will shut him up with the simple comeback to which he can’t retort, “your momma” and he didn’t type a single thing the rest of the tournament.
Anyways this should be the beginning of many more posts.
