We ended up making up in the end after he blasted it all off and said he learned a valuable lesson.

Just got back my KK money at 2/5 with 55 on KK56Tccc against AKcc.
I meant he had $3,000 and returned with $300.*

Wrapped up losing around $100 at 5/T, got AA two times but no terribly big pots with them. Got over 11 hours of sleep last night, fresh and ready to go again.

May not travel until (possibly) Vegas, if I suck it up and get on a plane again.

Rough session so far, was up some until lost AQJ93 nut diamonds on 478dd to naked 56 in a 3! pot. Been somewhat card dead too, never helps. Will chug on, hopefully games get better as the day goes on, morning game was mediocre.

Made quads against top boat again, flopped it this time on K33. Wild.

Had some of the best sleep ever last night, probably because no noise woke me up in the middle of the night. Had a cool dream I was in nature with wild animals climbing trees and such. My mom was randomly in a car too.

Ended up losing at plo, but made most of it back between 2/5 hold 'em and 10/10/20/20 plo, hold 'em won AA versus flush(?) on Q53hhAh3 and the big plo game just chipped up here and there for a small win. Witnessed someone accost a player who owed him money in front of the entire table ("I'm done with you, have you no shame?"), it was wild, especially when the dude claimed he didn't know what he was talking about...right. I enjoyed seeing this as this person owes a lot of people money, including my friend. I decided I was too tired at this point to keep playing as I'd been there all day and this was a good time to leave to make a statement.

BR challenge: $21,002 to go.

Currently in a good plo game upstuck a few hundred from my peak and regretfully card dead. Need a hand!!! I could be printing in this line up, it’s quite soft.

Splurged (for my standards) on another top, on sale though. Happy to treat myself for all the hours. 2,600 hours this year so far already.

Amazing that’s over 50 hours a week and you had a job on top of that? Did you sleep? That’s some admirable work ethic.

Thanks ya'll, it was a lot doing both and I'm glad my routine is more reasonable now. I was not very happy working and playing at the same time and I don't recommend it. Now I feel more rested when I play and I am playing better too, hopefully reflected in the recent hot run.

Weird dream last night I was in a dystopian future where people get killed for misbehaving. Then I was playing plo...made for quite the rest! 15 hours of zzzz's.

Last night's session was very swingy, started up $2k, lost it all, was even stuck at one point losing AAQ98ds to a maniac all in pre for $900, but grinded back around $1k profit in the last hour short-handed. Lost the biggest pots I played for sure but still did ok! Moved tables to my buddy's as my game was playing very tight and he wasn't too happy to have me on his left (only seat open), unfortunately I stacked him and the maniac pre and he got very upset with me. We talked it over later and smoothed things out.

BR challenge: $20,075 to go.

Rough session today, seemingly getting rivered, AA not holding, set cracked by open ender, card dead. Pretty tilting session tbh. Made some more investments while I folded, which has been the only good to come of today’s session. Not really making any blunders while playing though, think I am making good tight folds postflop as well. Ran AAs full into probably quads, and K7 into probably KT on KK73T. Didn’t pay off rivers though.

Have a little more play time in me before I have to take care of some business and get some sleep. It’s been a great month regardless of today’s outcome and I’m quite happy to have turned things around after starting the month stuck around $8k.

Wrapped up whiffing to a 3! squeeze with KKQJ9ds, 3! whiffing AJT87ds (went runner runner nuts but too many all ins on the flop), and losing AAQ33ds in 3! pot on 822 my flush draw to 2x and after that one finally threw in the towel quite peeved down a couple thousand after a 9-hour session.

Lost an AA early on then chipped up and then back down again, started playing a few too many hands, missed my nfd three times, once against a wrap, getting outdrawn and bricking my own draws. Going to hunker down and play extra tight now, gotta focus on the goal! Let the game come to me.

20/40 mix might run this afternoon, will see if I want to jump in.

Lol your friend got very upset at you for beating him? Are you expected to not play on his table and not play hands with him? Don’t see how that’s feasible for any regular player with friends who play too

He’s been running bad and left my table earlier. He was just annoyed I was on his left again. Funny because the tables have been turned where I’ve been downswinging and he’s been winning and stacks me but I didn’t complain as much although I was of course annoyed just as much.

People get upset sometimes. Emotions and human stuff.

Hunker in it could be a non eventuous day but just lock in on the goal and if you make it with good intentions towards the end it won't matter if you don't hut it only till January I think you said so that's a lil bit of your life if you decide it's not worth it than drop the goal and don't even think about it

Well I quit plo as the game got bad and I was stuck, joined the mix and up around $1,800 here, running fine. Will play a little longer before calling it a night and getting some well deserved rest.

Couldn't improve after the flop in a single hand in plo, super frustrating, and action left and I did too stuck just over $1.1k. 20/40 Mix ran and I jumped in, quickly made a 6-dugi 8-low in badeucy in a 4! pot with a 1-card draw and scooped a nice pot, held with a 9 low in single draw, won a couple in big o like AAJ53ds and AQ832, ran well in the big bet games for a change but lost a little back during my last round of triple draw, losing with a 7 in one hand (#3) to #2, still ended up around $1,500 for a small but respectable profit on the day.

Super entertaining vlog with the Buffalo Bills: , courtesy of Wolfgang poker.

Would like to make a few hundo today to round out the month up $20k, no pressure though, been a great run in November after a rough start.

Rough start, at a good table but lost AA in 4! Pot to crappy kings then bricked nfd wrap to a made hand. Lost top two open ender back door fd to mid set. Grinding awayÂ…the day is young. Action player is taking a break down in the pits. Hope he gets back here soon. I’m losing fast and super annoyed. This is not how I was hoping the last day of the month to go.

We are grinding it back up thanks to the maniac who enjoys 3!ing us pre. Gave him the 4! twice and got him both times after the flop with AKQJ7ds and AQQ97ds. Neither a gto 4! I am pretty sure but against him they were a pretty clear value raise. Exploitative poker for the win! F off pure gto nerds. :P

Was going really well and was even up a couple hundo until lost AA to maniacÂ’s nut flush draw and a gutshot on A24 and missed with my wrap in a 3!/4! pot. Probably going to call it soon on an L. Getting tired and going on 9 hours of play.

Edit: just won top two gutter and second nut flush draw so only stuck a little. There might yet be a win in the plans for me tonight.

Rounded out the session on a W, albeit a small one! Ended up $550 or so thanks to AAQ56ds on 834r, three way all in, A on the river to beat top two wrap and top pair open-ender for a larger side pot. I'll take it! Nice was to end the month.

Decided to start the month off playing the big plo game again, feel like I’ve been running well enough lately it was time to start playing again more consistently like I did earlier in the year. So far running decently well, even though I had a rough start at 2/2.

What I did for a living came up again, used to be a lawyer and now I just sleep,
I said. “Do you live in a little house?” asked my millionaire neighbor. “Yeah, I carry it on my back,” I quipped.

Waiting for some good spots, it’s a pretty good game.
