Solid Day
Got to Hardrock around 11:30 this morning, ready to play like a super nit. I played solid, nothing too spectacular. I made $65 in 2 hours. I had some errands to do, before I had to head up to The Isle in Pompano for my coaching session. I got to Isle around 3:30, met the 2+2'er that offered me his services and sat down at $1/2 to play. Thanks a ton for doing this with me, if you read this. I really appreciate the time you took out of your day to spend it with me. Looking forward to diving deeper into our session and figure some things out.
I played solid and won $226. The big hand went like this. A new player sat down in seat 7, who seemed competent. He was a younger guy, mid 30's. He was UTG and limped in. MP1, MP2 limped in and I was in the CO and looked down at JJ. I raised to $15. Only the guy in seat 7 called. I was about $180 deep, I thought he only had $80 (red chips and a few white), but he really had two blacks(more like grey) that I didn't see.
Flop ($38) 344 r - he checks, I bet 10, he calls
Turn ($58) 7 - he checks, and I take most of my stack and slide it forward (it was about $120)...
He looks at me and says, "do you realize I have two blacks?" "Why are you so scared? You bet $10 on the flop then $105 on the turn? What the hell?", I didn't say a word, but I really didn't see the blacks (more like grey/white, they were really hard to tell apart from $1 chip). I'm praying he calls me at this point as I know I have him smashed... He did something even better.. He then tanks for about 2 minutes and finally puts me all-in. I snap call and he flips over 55 and he says "man I just leveled myself with you"...
River ($380) K - dealer ships me the pot.
I played for another few orbits and cashed out, +$226 for the session and almost +$300 for the day. Huge day for broke me. I had about $80 in expenses today that I had to take care of. I'm getting everything paid off, so the only thing I have to worry about this month is my bankroll for the poker table. No other outside expenses will have to be taken out of the roll for the rest of the month, which is awesome.
***1st PICTURE COMMENT*** This week, not spewing.
Tomorrow I plan on playing a real solid session. I'm so happy with how I have been playing $1/2 lately. I'm taking great lines, making good reads, putting pressure on in the right spots and just playing solid in general. Not like the spewtard at $2/5 I was playing like... My winrate isn't going to be nearly as high as it was, but the downswings shouldn't cripple me like they used to.
***2ND PICTURE COMMENT**** Last week, Spewing.... **** me... Idiot Tyler...
