Hey,

Sitting here at 4am on my birthday enjoying some inevitably timed run good, and i've decided to set myself a volume challenge, which is kinda strange for someone who plays 80%+ headsup.

However if i can get supernova in june, it would really set up a good foundation for the last 6 months of the year, (which will ill go into more if this goes well.) however this will require earning about 40k vpps, which obviously means im currently at 60k vpps.

This in turn means ill be required to pay 3.3x (or something my math is bad at 4am) as much rake as i have been doing on averge a month this year. Actually, as i write this, considering how lazy ive been this year, that doesnt really seem like a huge leap, but it looks like a challenge on paper.

I should probably write about my situation and how i got to where i am, because its kind of a funny one (im 20 today, and i mostly visit the full tilt containment thread, etc.) but i may forget about this in 3 days because i run bad or something so we shall save it for now.

Numbers!

Not much interesting to share, hard to find bit pots that i lost because theres so many hands, plus only playing 50-100bb deep most of the time then ratholing, there wont be many interesting hands posted from 6 max. ill be back on the headsup soon enough though, and headsup PLO is the most interesting varian of poker IMO.

Nice little hand to round off the session. Bankroll was at 5200 and decided to take a nice little 1 buyin shot at 200PLO zoom full stacked (i like round numbers/im a degen etc.), villain seems to be a decent reg from what ive seen of him.

Note the turn sizing is basically designed to make the SPR exactly one on the river, as the villain either a) has the nuts and wants to set up a river shove* or b) air/weak showdown value which he plans to turn into a bluff on the river, so maybe check/shoving the turn wouldve been a better play given this sizing tell and how difficult it can be to play the river.

*(unlikely in this case, as 89 is vunerable to nearly half the deck on the river, if not more, so he would likely bet bigger, unless he had nut hearts or a set to go with, which is highly unlikely)

As youll see, it actually works perfectly for me as i bink the old 3 outer for the nuts, and it seems like a clear check given what was said about the turn sizing, paired with the fact that lead-shoving looks suuuuuuuper strong and barely ever gets paid off by worse (IMO), sure enough im lucky enough to get bluffed into to win a massive pot.

*Puke*

Super-call-every-cbet crazy mother****er sits with me and crushed me for about $700, won about $300 back playing some 6 max, then he sits with me again and takes another $600 off me in super retarded fashion. lost $1k, think imma have a joint and maybe a nap, definately should take a little break after that!

This sounds like a nice challenge.
