About Me:
25 yr old poker player looking to take my game to the next level. I have been playing since Moneymaker won the Main Event. I have had long periods where poker was my only source of income, but due to overspending and other stuff I would always end up getting a job again. I mostly play in underground card rooms in the city with the occasional trip to the casino. Most of my play will be @ 1/2 500 cap uncapped after midnight.
I plan to put in a bunch of hours throughout the rest of this year as well as work on a few business ideas I have. At the end of the year I want to decide where to go from here. I am currently mulling over a few options.
1) Move and play poker full time (Vegas/Florida/LA)
2) Move and play poker part time and work on getting my business running
3) Stay here and work on business full time while putting in 1 session a week of poker
Goals
[ ] 1000 Hours of poker by the end of the year
[ ] Take my time when making decisions. I tend to play fast and sometimes don't think of all my options.
[ ] Play my A game as much as possible and quit if I feel myself tilting.
[ ] Post hands ITT and in LLSNL for review
[ ] Keep expenses low so I can boost the bankroll
First session is tonight. Will post updates afterwards.
Game was great. Table full of action players that don't like to fold. Most flops were 4-6 ways. Got into a lot of situations where I raised pf would get 5 callers and the flop would be horrible to cbet. In all in pots had a few go my way and a few go the other way. Need to work on ability to put in long sessions. Was real tired towards the end of the session.
BIG HANDS
v1 $300
v2 $170
Straddled pot I raise KK utg to $25 get called in 4 spots V1 in BB shoves for 300. I reshove and V2 tank calls. Board runs out V1 shows AKo V2 shows 33 hero scoops with KK
V1 180
Double straddled pot v1 opens to 45 utg+1 Hero 3bets AQHH to 110 utg+2 folds around and v1 shoves for 70. Board comes out A high V1 shows AK and takes it down
V1 235
V1 opens to 10 2 callers Hero calls in BB with A2ss. Flop 10s8s2c Hero checks v1 bets 20 everyone else folds. Hero makes it 55 more villain shoves for 150 more.
I hate to overplay a pair and a flush draw, but against his range once he 3bets all in on the flop I am getting the right price to call it off.
Game was pretty good. I was card dead most of the night. It was no showdown poker all night. I would raise pf fire a cbet or a second barrel and take it down. Chipped up without ever seeing a river.
