Villain bets 75 and I come over the top ridiculously for 350 and he shrug calls after a minute tank with pocket Aces. He genuinely thought he had ran into a set I could tell but once he called I knew I was toast. Villain was a 30 something year old semi aggressive player. Was definitely the table "bully". Honestly thought I could get him to fold an over pair but really thought he was just C betting with AK or AQ. Didn't think he was as strong as he actually was.

I know this isn't a strategy/HH thread but there's a lot here to think about in terms of plugging leaks. Sounds like you already see why, but we can take it to PM if you want to discuss.

I like strategy/HH, so feel free to discuss it here!

It makes sense since this thread looks more like a "goals & challenge" one than a "casino and cardroom poker" one.

Back from Houston. Ended up not playing poker in Texas. Went ahead and spent the week with my friends relaxing, catching up, and eating amazing food. It was a very awesome trip! My best friend and his fiance asked me to officiate their wedding out in San Diego next May which is a real honor. Life is good.

Back in North Carolina for about 10 days before I hit Vegas October 3-7. Don't have anything else on the calendar quite yet....Pondering a possible trip to Austin mid November to play at The Lodge. Also toying with the idea of a week trip up to MGM National Harbor. Decisions decisions...

Hope everyone is having a great week! Hope you guys have been grinding and making some bucks! Talk soon.

In a city the size of Raleigh, there are local poker games. I guarantee it. You just have to find them. Hang out in sports bars and pool rooms to find like-minded gamblers.

I lived in a much smaller city in the south for a few years and eventually found a network of home games in the area. They were incredibly soft beyond my wildest dreams. It was like having a money tree.
