Ak mp r $10, all fold. (+3)

So predictable to see you whinning like a bitch 1 day into something you planned out. Let's be honest, you need to lose all this money because you are way to lazy to send $$$ back to all these stakers. Gl.

Probably should have 3bet to $45 here. Close decision.

Jh8hs otb, 4 limpers, r to $15. One caller. Flop 10h 7 2. I cbet $20. Called. Turn is Ah. Pick up back door flush outs...plus that is scare card. Release 2nd barrel. Villain folds. I am not triple barreling if called and I miss. If I hit my inside straight or backdoor flush Id overbet bomb. (+35)

First big hand of the trip.

Nit opens to $6 from utg. All fold to me otb.

I make it $15 to see where the nit is at.

Young guy who just sat down in bb w $140 makes it $50.

Nit tank folds.

I figure nit put down Ak or Aq.

Slight chance guy has AA then.

I figure it has to be kk, jj, 1010 or Ak.

I flat with intention of getting it on all boards except if A flop and he ships into me.

If A flops and he checked to me I am shipping for value from jj to 1010 and deception if he has kk.

Flop is 9 8 2 and he tank ships.

I call. He has KK.

I have QQ.

(-140)

I didn't lose a dollar on this hand, but I wanted to share it.

Nit raises to $10, his largest of the day. I fold AK otb.

Guy in sb calls.

Flop is 9s 8s 3d.

Nit bets $15. Guy goes all in for $30 more.

Nit calls and wins with AA.

I lose 0 by folding AK.

Best to give nits action only with pp.

One compliment I'd like to give this nit is he actually smartest guy at the table when it comes to raise sizing.

He's adjusted accordingly and he is getting action on his opens.

I have been stubborn and sticking to $10 to $17.

Always be aware of the max you can raise while keeping fish in.

A5s utg limp/f (-2)
88 mp limp/c raise. Brick (-12)
33 utg limp/c raise. (-6)
79s bb, call raise/miss (-7)
K10 mp limp (-2)

Playing this 1/2 session out and if $2/5 session is to happen it will be next week.

Just was going over my hh with a friend and he said I was exactly right...I missed value by not sizing my opens with premiums lower. Obv keep raises w trash higher because stealing limps/blinds is fine.

Also just met knucks...

Finished up $205.00.

The People's Bankroll is currently at $1180.00 and I still owe 14 hours of action.

Going to grab some food before Weezer and I plan on playing more 1/2 tonight as long as I feel good.

Just saw Weezer in concert.

They went with a greatest hits setlist, but that's ok because it's a casino show and no need to tend to your cult followers like me.

Was fun to have a few beers to and happy PuraVida came out since he doesn't go to many shows.

Now I am going to smash some Waffle House, get some rest, wake up early, work out, and then play the $365 as planned.

Will update in morning.

Proof of entry has been posted to my Lotgrinder Twitter account.

Sipping on a myoplex shake and waiting for action to begin.

A friend of mine and his gf will be leaving hotel room tomorrow. So, I'll have my desktop set up then and can post more thoughts on my 1/2 sessions/etc...

Level 1: 25/50

77 mp -150 set mine
97s otb -1100
*Double barreled since I flopped 2nd pair, then turned backdoor diamonds.*

Level 2: 50/75

Kk otb 125
Aq +2900
*Got 3 streets of value from kq..*
66 sb -250 set mine
A5s hj r 250, but finish-250, fold to 3bet.

Level 3: 50/100

AJ co r 250, +150
Aq utg r 250, 2 callers, take creative line and lose (-1350)

*Flop Kc 10c 2

I check...other guy checks...otb makes it 350, I raise to 1100. He tank calls. Club comes and I check again. He quickly bets. I had no clubs in my hand. I fold. Thought my tight image and c/r could get a fold out of him. Was leading all non club turns. Guy was a tight/competnent player.*
A7s 3bet 225 open to 700 (+375)

Level 4: 75/150

Qj sb, call 350 open. Flop top pair. Check..it checks through. I bet 400 on turn. Guys calls. Q comes on river. I pot it. Guy calls. (+1500)

I raised and took down a limp+blinds or blinds in a few other spots, but I can't keep track of everything.

Please feel free to post any constructive criticism on my lines.

Going to be taking way more chances now than during Wsop in an effort to build a stack.

Do not give a fukk if I go out early as long as I am playing properly vs villians range and feel I have an edge.

That being said, I am not going to take small edges vs complete fish tho...

Also, I believe 2.5xing early is worthless. These people call too light. I am 3xing and 4xing early levels from now on in these smaller buy ins.

I could have got the ladies entire stack with an overbet river shove I think on the AQ hand.
