Thing have been going very well since my wife and i moved to Las Vegas but that is not due to my work ethic. I have done well but all I can think about is how much better I could be doing if I were more disciplined and putting in more hours at the table instead of just ducking around all the time. So I have decided to implement weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual goals for myself. Self discipline is something that is very important to me although I have struggled with it in my life. I have also let fear and doubt guide a lot of my decisions. I joined the navy because I didnt want to go to school and didnt know what to do really, poker seemed like a pipe drea.. Then I got out and did better than I expected online but as soon as black Friday happened I decided to go to school because it was the safer choice. I really hated school and never liked the jobbthat I had chosen. It was extremely secure but all that meant was I was guaranteeing myself that I woupd spend 40 hours or so per week doing something that I didnt like. I dont mind that if I didnt have other options but I always have but was too "realistic" to go for it. Now in doing it and it feels very good. Instead of being nervous about having a bad runni have decided to put any of that worried energy into improving my game and myself, especially in the discipine area. I believe that the path to freedom starts with self discipline. I'm working on my actual goals right now and will post them here so that they are out in the world as soon as I have them. If anyone has suggestions feel free. These goals will benpoker oriented with diet and exercise in there as well.

Well we had a deep run in the Venetian 3500 cppt. Took 20th getting it in there w AQ to A10 and he turned a 10. Would have had about 50bb going into 2 tables with 185k to first. Cash games have been going well also. Starting to meet more people out here also. Really finding my groove and having a good time. Gotta grind and build and build and grind.

First off I like your thread and will follow. Im planning on making a move to Vegas in the next few years.

You might want to try and include starting stack sizes in HH's. It helps the reader get a better understanding.

Hand 1, I am also confused my these bets as your bet sizing is odd on the turn. What range are we putting Villian on. Out of position and betting 2 overs is a bad combo. This flop hits his range way more than ours. Sometimes you have to let these go or taka a different line. A bigger turn bet will define his range much more than 20. At that point you can let it go if he calls or raises. Anything other then a fold to a turn bet of 50 ish and your pretty well beat.

Hand 2. According to your flop, trun river. He did turn a straight. So was it a typo or? 3,4,5,6,7 is a straight so. Unsure about this 1. Also calling off with an over pair in to 2 players probably is not a line yiu want to take everytime. Your still losing to straights, 2 pair, sets. Only a small range of 2 players will be the flush draw.

Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps. Good luck
