What a day! Ran extremely pure tonight, except for one hand as shown below as hand 2.
H1:
Very first hand of the night, $500 eff.
Very loose player opens BTN $15, hero defends BB w/ A2o.
Flop: 752dd
Hero xc $20
Turn: 2o
Hero check, villain $60, hero $175, villain calls.
River: Tddd
Hero jams $300, villain calls and MHIG
H2:
Vs same villain except $1.2k deep.
Villain opens $15 MP, hero 3! JJ to $50 in CO, villain calls
Flop: QQ8hh
xx
Turn: 5o
Villain bets $100, we call.
River: 7o
Villain bets $225, hero calls and we lose to KQss.
Kinda sucky spot tbh because villain will be opening EXTREMELY wide and almost never folding to the 3bet pre. And on the river it really doesn't feel like he's bluffing but vs this guy there's just no way in the world we can be folding imo.
H3:
Just that A4dd hand I posted earlier where I flopped the nuts. Wondering whether we just raise flop or call.

Bitter sweet week poker-wise this one. The sweet: we managed to pull ourselves tf out of this downswing and post a good win approaching Christmas. The sour: didn't quite stick to my schedule. I wanted 40 hours of volume at the casino this week and it didn't happen. I missed 5 hours AND I played tonight's session at EMP - I'm glad I did though, was the softest game I've played in for a loooooooooong time.
Volume needs to be better in future and we simply need to stick to it. It's easy to get slack when there's plenty of social events going on and whatnot. But like I went out Saturday night and literally slept for 24 hours. Like I woke up at 5-6pm on Sunday, decided I didn't feel like being productive and just went back to bed. This is woeful. So for next week we'll definitely be looking to set some goals and stick to them.
Crypto
I do have to post a separate update for this this week because it's simply bonkers at the moment. Bitcoin is up well over 30% today. When I went to bed last night 1 Bitcoin was US$12.3k. 24 hours later we're looking at $19.7k and it's still going straight up. This is absolutely unheard of and it's honestly a little unsettling. So I now have a AUD$26k asset currently. My Ledger S Nano hardware wallet arrived yesterday and I set that up. Now I just need to figure out how long I want to hold onto this for. I THINK I'll definitely hang onto it for the time being, maybe reevaluate around January before Aussie Millions and then again in May.
Absolutely mental stuff.
Goals for Forthcoming Week
So no real events this coming week. Last week before I have parties etc, the calm before the storm if you like. That means we should look to get some good volume in. I have lunch with Dad on Tuesday and breakfast with a girlie on Thursday, so that may slow things down a little bit but we'll see.
Friday - 8-10 Hours
Saturday - 8-10 Hours
Sunday - 6-8 Hours
Monday - Off
Tuesday - 6-8 Hours/Off
Wednesday - 6-8 Hours/Off
Thursday - 8 Hours
Should hopefully leave us with 40 or so hours of volume for the coming week which will be nice before we lose a ton of volume for the rest of the month. So main goal this week is 40+ hours volume. Also need to not slack on gym. We've lost a ton of weight of late which I THINK is good? Still bodyfat percentage slightly too high for my liking. Also don't want to spend too much money this week if I can avoid it. So one more solid week of volume and discipline and we'll be onto the home stretch for the year!
