Again?

Yes sir!!! I was seated the table where a Bad Beat Jackpot hit. Unfortunately AP has switched the fashion in which it pays out and I netted 2.8k instead of 12.5k. I guess the old cliche beggars cant be choosers works well here. Anyways was pretty sweet to hit again and was a nice boost to my online bank roll. I am now near 60Bi's for 1/2 and have devised a new plan for my poker future. After some discussion with my coach i feel the best path for me is to simply grind out some good money at 1/2 and string together a few winning months at which time I can re access my situation in regards to moving up. 

Something else which my title pertains too is my drinking. I enjopy alchol but i definately overdo it and need to take a break. I wont say that I will never stop drinking or never not stop but for now I know saying I am quiting drinking is unrealistic. What I will say is drinking in extreme moderation is my new plan. Also I will only drink when I know I am done with poker for the day. This saturday I had a few beers and then I wanted to play but couldnt. I much rather have not drank and been able to play then vice versa. Basically my plan is to only drink when there is a special occasion and when I do drink to do so in moderation so not to have any grey moments.

HAND OF THE DAY-Thanks for the feedback please keep it coming.

Villain is 27/21/2(1.1k) I feel like my 3bet will get a ton of folds and I decide his range his mainly88-QQ when he does call. 

$1/$2 No Limit Holdem
6 players

Stacks:

UTG		($282.05)
Hero (UTG+1)		($263.10)
CO		($380.30)
BTN		($118.72)
SB		($264.45)
BB		($378.40)

Pre-flop: ($3, 6 players) Hero is UTG+1

UTG raises to $7, Hero raises to $22, 4 folds, UTG calls $15

Flop: ($47, 2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $24, UTG calls $24

Five high is going to have a hell of a time winn ing at SD so i cbet. I size it so that I can DB and possibly jam the river in an attempt to fold out the range I assigned villain.

Turn: ($95, 2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $48, UTG raises to $236.05, Hero folds

I gain some equity but so does villains range. I again size my DB to jam the river but I am thinking I should take my shot at the FD by checking rather then getting blown off it if he CRAI. Thoughts?

Final Pot: $379.05

UTG wins $375.55 ( won +$93.50 )
Hero lost -$94.00

DAILY THANKS

I am thankful that my group meeting was pushed back an hour because that is the reason I was seated at the BBj table in the 1st place.
