September

I really only played the first week of September, then the next two weekends and stopped after that. School took most of my evenings, and my attention shifted to learning/studying. I also felt like I couldn’t afford to lose. I had to cut back on my work hours, and wasn’t sure if I’d fit my [...]

Not feeling that great

I haven’t been feeling all that great about poker recently. When I restarted, I was excited about moving up and it was crazy how fast I was progressing. It’s like the 9 months I spent out of the game let all the strategy I learned cook and settle down and I had a completely new [...]

addictive personality + library = supernerd

I haven’t played much poker over the past two weeks because I’ve gone over to the dark side and become a library-dweller. I used to think it’d be crazy to have 5 books checked out, but now I’m asking them to raise my limit (they refused ).
Currently reading The Concept of Mind by Gilbert [...]

Meanwhile, back at the ranch: http://weaktight.com/377474
- not entirely donktastic. I took a while to call the turn, so I thought he’s more likely to bluff riv based on that. Also had a feeling he’s blocking the FD. I was right on 50% of my reads and getting 2.5:1 [...]

A couple of hands

http://weaktight.com/364569 vs donk min-raiser and 23/19/4.1 reg 3-bettor
I thought I played this hand well. A bit unorthodox and you guys may not like it, but I’d like your thoughts if you disagree. PF is debatable, but I thought there was value; downside is I thought a bit long, so it’s pretty obvious I have a [...]

Enter September

My school started this Tuesday. My schedule for most of the week now is morning class, go to work, come back for an evening class. I usually get home at about 8-9, except Fridays where I don’t have an evening calss. Plus I have to get up earlier now because of morning classes, so I [...]

August Review

This month went a lot better than I expected. I was thinking of maybe taking a shot at $100, but ended up moving up to it permanently, and even got close to taking a $200 shot. Unfortunately, I was hit by an 8 buyin downswing yesterday and today, but I managed to recover a few [...]
