Fridays LOL!

Seriously though Fridays are just bonkers. I used to love the hell out of them and I know why. You can make a killing if you catch cards and run right because of the insane amount of tards online. Tonight I think I dropped a BI or two though I must admit I made some poor calls and ran semi wack too. Kinda off results though I seem to catch the cashier window on occasion but not caring much. I play so much better when I just try and focus on decision making and not the outcome. Here are my two Friday freak night hands.

Was kinda sick when I get c/r but villain had show that he liked to lead his big hands so I put him on mainly draws or weak made hands. I feel like maybe I should just 3bet the flop and go with it but not sure given our stack depth. Turn is gin and I think shipping is my only option. GG river.

Honestly not to pleased with myself here given that villain was like 65/20/1 and seemed semi passive though he had c/r me on Q66 and c/r twice more following this hand. My hand is clearly under repped though I am not sure he goes ape like this with a T. Probably should fold flop or at least turn.

Anyways I got an app in to the electricians union so the ball is rolling now. If I get accepted I will give it a go and possibly get a career going. Starting wage is 18 an hour with potential for 46hr after 5 yrs. While I do that I can keep at poker or go back to school. Probably going to get a resume written up and apply for a server job in the meantime so I can make some cash to alleviate financial stress.

I have been nailing hands already this month and hope to finally reach 40k hands in a month. 3.9k so far Going to be playing from like 9am-5pm all month hopefully with some night play mixed in if I feel good.Later!
