Yesterday's results: +282

Profit would have been double had I made 2 river folds that I should have.

Hand 1
Old turbo Donk limp, I think there was another limp before. I posted blind in CO after taking a break. I iso to 23 with AJo. Old donk calls with about 250. Sb C

AT9fd I 40 only old donk calls.

T Donk donks for 30 I c

9 He 100, I tank and C. Seen him do some weird river bluffs. I'm fairly certain he doesnt have a T here.

He has 95o

After this I'm about 15% tilted which amps up my aggression, but still on at least my B game.

I own his soul at least 3 times over the next 2 orbits and get most of it back..

Hand 2-

Cally donk on my left, well known donator to the 2/3. I knew this information even before I started playing 2/3.

I iso AKs over a limp. Donk to my left calls IP

K99 I 25 c
4 turn I x c 45
4 Riv I x c 65 His QT no good and he racks up and changes tables.

Hand 3- this was actually earlier on in the session
Open Button over utg straddle to 20 with J7s
Sb C, straddle (solid reg) calls

732fd, checked to me I 25, sb f, reg C
K checks through
9 He 65 I snap he shows Q5s for busted fd.

Feel like I can read this reg's thoughts: Played with him the night before and his read on me was weakish tight. Now he views me as TAG /capable.


Hand 4-
A few limps to my sb i complete 97dd.

Td9c2d. I check and am a little distracted by the waitress. UTG bets and I call a small bet, someone else calls.

Turn 7 gives me 2p to go along with my FD. I lead 15. UTG and other player call

Riv is a diamond, giving me a flush. In my mind i'm like I'll bet big and fold to a raise because he has a bigger flush all day.

I 35, UTG 105

I call with my flush, even after saying in my mind I'd fold.

His A8dd good.

I turn around and grab a rack to rack my chips but change my mind as the next dealer coming in I have the hots for.

It's pretty obvious we're into each other but i'm not sure if I should just number close at the table or try and find her in between dealer changes. ****kk

.....

at 2/3 i'm still only buying in for $600 and keeping my sessions on the shorter side. Need to pad the bankroll a bit before I start buying in for max 1k.

I'm running decent/average at 2/3 so far, have yet to go on a sun run or some horrible **** me in the ass donation session.

Totally fine with me!

You see some absolutely crazy hands at 2/3. Dude barrelling off on TT3xx with KJ and getting called on the river with 32o in a ~$1500 pot

Non-nut Flushes are good in $2500 pots.

pretty mind blowing that i wasted so much time at 1/2

Got a haircut yesterday and was chatting up all the hair stylists in there. Studied Adobe at Star****s/ Barnes and Noble and some milfy latina was eye ****ing me but was with her daughter. Her daughter wandered off into B and N and I slipped the mom my number on a piece of paper. Felt a bit uncomfortable (good) but she didn't call or text me (bad).

It's okay though. i'm not here to control female reactions. Let the cards fall where they may. Latina milfs are my weakness and my spanish is on ****ing point for a gringo.

Gonna try and go out with a dude to approach some girls at the bars tonight.

Yes i'm sober and yes i'm closer to 40. but **** police and white knights.

$$$
time to study adobe

Peace

Don’t let short term variance distract you from getting better at poker. You might be down since buying gtowiz but nothing bad comes from learning more about the game. Just understand that a lot of the time you want to adjust your strategy when your opponent deviates from equilibrium (which is mostly always the case in live games)
Thanks buddy! Ya I feel like my somewhat addictive personality is +ev once I handle the bullshit!

Ya I can see how GTO has it's place, especially online and at the higher stakes. But for Low stakes Live just exploit til the cows come home.

I no longer sub to GTO wiz, at least for now.

Yesterday's Results: -$900

Had a pretty horrible session yesterday. Was completely off my game, card dead, and getting owned by the regs.

My mindset was just off, I felt very impatient and on edge.

Took a pretty big dose of Testosterone, 250 mg, before I played and didn't hit the gym. Very displeased with myself.

Went and banged out Whip-it hoe and then went out with a buddy of mine to some bars in downtown PHX. Stayed sober and got my ass handed to me by little 23 year old girls all night.

Going to take the day off from poker, hit the gym, study a bit of everything.

Might meet up with Latina milf from B&N the other day, she ended up texting me last night and we talked on the phone for a bit.

Hopefully I can turn poker around this week, if not will have to find another job.

Going to get back on the grind tonight. Got someone to stake me $500 and they want 20% of profits.

I play a lot better when I'm on other people's money. I love making people money on my stake, It validates me in a way.

B&N Latina Milf flaked on me yesterday for some reason. Last time she responded was Saturday night when I was asking for a pic of her, "just to remember..."

Couldn't give a **** less though; she can carry on with her boring little life. Not my ****ing problem.

Today going to hit the gym (push), talk to babby on Facetime and grind us us some loot.

Even after my last shitty session my results over this month are still at $39.07 an hour. Only 29 hours though.

Broke out my synth yesterday and ****ed around with it for an hour or so...

Sounds like the best stake ever? You get a free $500 to play with and only give back 20% of winnings plus 100% your buyin if you win? Your staker sounds like he may want your number

Well the $500 is hers, we're just splitting the profits...

Probably just going to grind it up to a few K, hopefully then get back on my own dollar..

Yesterday's results: +$69

Had a good start to the day, playing solid TAG, running well... and then ... it happened......

Hand 1-

Red Aces in LJ open 20, CO and BUT call

8Tx 8 Q

45, 75, 100, called on every street and I'm good vs a gambly Indian.

Hand 2-
Button Straddle two limps I limp with 55 CO
993fd I 15 , Indian from hand 1 calls
Q i 30 and fold to his raise.

Thought this was a decent board for me, maybe I should give up on turn.

Few Hours into the session, I'm chipping up nicely. Started with 500, up to close to 1k...

Hand 3-
Iso KTo in CO after two limps from a fish and a late 30's WG

QJ8css I bet, WG calls

turn 9c, I misclick bet 35, meant to bet 75, I mutter "****"

AFter about 10 seconds he shoves 585 I snap with my Nut straight

... River K.

He says "Ace ten" and flips it over

I'm like ****kkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Cue Norman Chad: So you wanted to play poker for a living...

I'm a 93% favorite and it Felt like the sickest beat in the world, but it's still 3 outs...

I'm jilted as the dealer changes and I get up to take a walk.

I still have 300 and some change so it's not the end of the world.

I get over the beat pretty quickly , but it did sting. We get to 5 handed and play for a few orbits before we break the game.

All in all happy with how I played yesterday. Ran well in other spots and booked a slight win so I can't complain.


%%%%%
Meditation is up to 9 minutes a day, am starting to feel that "buzz" . God it's so worth it! ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


Where I can improve:
Going to try and start waking up earlier. Usually rolling out of bed at 10-1030, gonna try and get that to 9am and ultimately maybe 7 or 8.

Got to get off the sleeping pills( just over the counter bs)

Need to focus more on my music

Want to start a business of some kind.

Should stop edging my piener.

Killing it in: Fitness, learning adobe, meditation, staying clean and sober, Facetiming baby a few times a week... so go me!!

proooooobably going to have to be taking a break from pokers.

might fire a 1k bullet at 2/3 and see how that goes..

given the baby mama drama, the weight is just too heavy to be grinding some low stakes trash for income. especially when i'm getting it in good and coming up short.

I'll keep updating the thread but for now, looking for a real jerb.

Yesterday's results: -229

Officially going to take a break from pokerz.

Sat 2/3 yesterday with 900$. Made some **** / lazy calls and donked off 200.

Even if I went on a tear and 5x'd my buy in, I'm officially in the position where I have to get a job or have a source of income that I can show the court.

And poker is not that.

So back to the job hunt, going to try and slap together a reel to showcase my video production skills, even though I'm still a newbie at Premiere.

Even if I had the heart/skill/mindset to grind poker as a sole source of income, it still looks like **** to the blood-sucking lawyer of baby mama.

I'll still update this thread a few times a week, but it won't not be very heavy on poker action for a while.

If a mod wants to move this thread to the regular blog section, I haven't any problem.

Also, number closed the hot dealer that I've been crushing on for a while. So that takes away more of the reason for me to hit the poker room.

welcome back from the break. as i've decided to start taking shots at poker again, i figured i would come back to this thread.

have a few other exciting ventures in the works as well... a trenbolone cycle, writing an album, and likely trying some crypto development on the meme chain Solana.

-started a tren-ace cycle but i haven't gotten to that place of feeling like a God yet. been munching on some thc edibles which may counteract the cycle and moods a bit. have been feeling a bit hornier though.

-went three months sober, from dec. 30 to about a week or two ago.

-got a poker coach, just a cheap one: 150$ for 5 hours paid up front. i paid him and he ended up disasppearing for a weekend, leading me to believe i''d been scammed. but he came back. i just played some fast tables at 5nl on ignition, sent him the video and he talks over it. simple.

he sent me my review yesterday and i watched it and then went to the casino and won about 440 at 1/2. was up to about 1000 from a 300 bi but gave some of it back.

here's a HH i sent my coach yesterday. he said my turn fold was good:

i open to $7 with TT in mp, villian who is a competent player, calls with about 300, blinds call

792 with a flush draw. i dont block the fd. sb donks 10, bb calls, i raise to 40, button cold calls, blinds fold.

off suit J, i check. Villian bets 80, i fold. should i have continued firing?

also, the play right now on crypto is solana and a memecoin on sol called hami:

yesterday's results: +380

went and played 1/2 with a $300 bi.

first hand im dealt AT and call a raise from indian (asian indian) dude and one old timer in the blinds call.

T8ss2, i have the As

check, indian dude 15, i call, fold

turn 3s

indian 20, i call

river brings in my nut flush

indian 20, i raise to 50 he calls and i show him the nut flush

he shows 99 with a spade.

he comments that my raise size was good and he wouldn't have called more. he probably would have though.



next notable hand:

called T5dd in the bb vs an ep open and two calls, one of them the indian from prev hand.

AKQdd i have gutter and FD

Indo in sb leads 15 I call, two folds.

turn off suit 8.

he 20 i c

riv 7 i fold vs 50


next notable hand: im down to about 250

indian villian opens ep i call with 76cc on his left, 3 calls behind. loose but im trying to play pots with this guy.

234ccc, i flop a flush

indian leads 5, i raise to 15, guy on my left who just sat raises to 45, cold call from later position black dude, fold and indian folds.

back to me i put one of them on a weird set or two pair and one on a big club, hopefully im not drawing to just the 5c but if i am there's a high hand promo for $500

i ship for 250 total, guy on my left calls, black guy calls. this is both of their first hand at the table and i thought i was crushed at this point. the table is very excited about this 3 way all in.

over card on the turn and they both get the remaning $100 or so between them all in.

guy on my left proudly tables A5 for a straight with no clubs, im waiting for black dude to show, he doesn't so i flip over my flush. black dude mumbles something and flashes K5o, with i think (and hope for his sake) he had the Kc

but the river bricks out and i triple up. ship it.


definitely doing shorter sessions than i have been in the past: between 2-3 hours. but im always worried about running it up and then giving it back. i try not to rack up immediately after a big pot but it definitely crosses my mind to gtfo there and book a profit. after last nights triple up i stayed for about another hour before racking up.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

was at a work meeting yesterday and gave my number on a piece of paper to a chick i work. it's kind of a bitch boy approach but she's in a different department and we're always around other people basically. otherwise its obviously much better to just grab your balls and ask her out face to face.

there's definitely an attraction as we always lock eyes and flirt when we're near each other.

the note just said: text me your number with my #

but she hasn't texted me. mildly awkward.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


need to release another song that i've been lazing out on. the tracking is done, just need to do a bit of editing then send it off to get mixed.


xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


hami coin is pumping, up to a 15m market cap. send.

yesterday's results: +150



over limp/ call a small raise to 10 with 96s after another flat and me closing the action.

J78

ch ch 12, f, i call

turn J

i c/r 20 to 60

riv q i shove for about 100 effective

********

overlimp JTo, 6 ways to:

89T fd, i don't have fd blockers

20 is bet, i call, raise to 60, a call and i fold

********

played the nut flush a bit trappy oop the previous hand vs this villian. and then:

i raise to 10 with 99, he 3! to 25, i call

J8x i ch/f to 60
********


very pleased with how ive been playing and running lately. i think it's the 4th session in a row where i book a profit. yesterday was a bit sloppy but made a good quit after i made kind of a shitty play.

i cb 643 with J6s after opening in late position and folded to a c/r vs an asian player eating noodles loudly. i should have checked it back if i was going to fold top pair to a c/r. but all good. im okay making tighter folds than looser calls and giving away my session's profit.



********

Going to release my next song soon, will have it shipped off to be mixed this weekend, hopefully today. going to work banquets at a hotel tonight and tomorrow so not sure if ill be able to get some grind in tonight.
