Dodgy is a punk!

Hope this gets his attention. Dodgy and I used to go way back.

Fuck! I cant believe how long I have been at this poker/blogging thing. Long story short I am a nit ass dealer gone net pro who recently returned to rnning the felt.


Live poker is uber soft but comp poker is insanely convenient. I hope to pay the bills with live dealing and plan my vacations with my net winnings. Hopefully the retiremnt and furniture too.

Last but not least Dodgy is a punk!


PS: If you play FR rush get at me. I want to talk strat.

25NL

At my table now, 26/14, 23/19, 15/12, 29/23(Me), 16/16, and 11/11. How is the state of poker? BTW yhis is at 9:55PM PST on a Thursday. Also, I deal live poker and have to say the games are 1000 times softer.

25nl

On the grind.

My backer yanked my stake because of his financial needs and I am left with right around $600 online. Given that I no longer deped solely on poker for income I have decided to take my roll and try and grind it up using a semi aggro bank roll strategy.

I plan to start at 25NL and move up when I have 15BI for 50NL moving back down if I drop 5BI which will have me at 20BI for the stake below. So basically my strategy is 15BI for next level or rather 30 at current move up. Down to 10BI at current level or move down. Should I be more aggro? To encourage growth I plan to use minimal table selection as well and force myself to learn to beat/adjust to the table I am at.

BTW online poker is seriously drying up fast. I mean even at 25NL I find tables full of regs. Not to say the game cant be beat or the regs know what they are doing, I just assumed I would be able to sit at any table and find a 40/10 donk.

I will probably keep some sort of updates on bank roll and stake and post a hand or two for discussion as I rise to the top.

Villain in this hand is playing 29/17 have him marked as a fish. Only history I have is when he flatted a 3bet and showed TT and folded on Jxx board. Given there is not a FD I feel villains range is sets, Kx, or an OESD. The problem I have is at these stakes I am not sure what villains thought process is. Call or fold?

Here is a possible range.

Board: Kh 7d 5s
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 53.587% 44.08% 09.51% 13964 3012.50 { AhKd }

MIA

IT has been a long ass time since I blogged. A ton has changed in my life too. Where to start?

I gave selling insurance a run and quickly realized it sucked while in the process I lived of my poker roll and was forced to find a job that actually produced a steady wage. Given that I went back to dealing at the local casino. It is nice to go to work and know I will walk with cash money every night.

On the poker front I feel like the online game is on a steady decrease. Basically the number of fish is slowly decreasing thus increasing the fuck out of variance and reg wars. I did acquire a stake in Sept and made a decent profit on my 1st 50k hand stake. Currently I am playing another 50k hands and swingy all over the place. Havent been running the best which obviously leads to making some less than par plays.

Live poker looks super juicy fyi and I plan on logging some hours on real felt as soon as I get settled into a normal schedule at work.

My family is doing great. My kid continues to learn and grow and provide joy to my life. We got lucky and found a place in our neighborhood that has everything we want in a house therefore we will be moving in about two weeks. Besides not doing well at poker I really have little to complain about.

It is crazy to go back and look where this blog began and all the different times of my life which I wrote about. I cant promise I will write all that often anymore. But I continue to read others blogs.

When all else fails smile and be happy imo.

Insurance

Been taking a small break from poker and studying/working my ass off to prepare for an exam which I took today. I passed! I am now licensed to sell insurance in the state of California. I plan on crushing it and making a nice living allowing poker to return as a fun pass time from which I make a decent amount of "fun time" money.

Will be payed 100% commission based so poker will be my main source for a few months to come I imagine.
