Steady as can be. Should obviously play more. Anyone want to stake me for 200nl?

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.

I am bringing it back

Time to stop being a slack dick and actually put some fucking time in away from the tables. If you arent getting better at this game you arent getting richer. That being said I will begin cross posting some of my HH to a private blog which I will be setting up. Private because I know mofos google my ass. Hu for that. Fwiw I have played a fuck ton this month but am basically even after some fun swings. On a side note, I actually have a job interview tomorrow for selling insurance. Who knows!

It is true!

I can do anything I put my mind to. 35k hands in the books, time for a new goal. I am thinking 30hrs a week and limiting myself to 4 tables in order to improve my hand reading dramatically. Actually, that will be my main focus for June, hand reading.

The home stretch.

Played 33,373 hands with two days left. This past week I have played poorly and outside of myself which results in, well you know. Anyways a good things is I have managed to become more comfortable playing slightly longer sessions and will be looking to play 90min sessions in June. Big things going down in June.

So wack

Fuck it. I am not going to post a whiny as blog about how ass I run. We all run like dick. Work harder, whine less and own souls. If all else fails break shit. Basically I am back at 100NL for awhile and will be working harder than ever before. May has proven one thing to me. If I grind I will make money. Now I need to study and grind and play my A-game.

Swongs are a real thing.

~27k hands thus far

So it has been a steady up hill month till this week. I have begun the home stretch and been running whatever and playing about there. TBH my emotions have gotten the better of me again. I am determined to make the 35k mark but will be rethinking my approach to June. June I believe my goal will be in regards to mental game rather than volume.

Now in regards to my goals I am way off track. Surprise! I have about 25lbs to lose to reach 200lbs and an insane amount of 200NL play to reach the hand sample I wanted. Reality is shit happens and I havent given my all.

I intend to drop 10lbs in June and play 5-10k hands of 200NL at night when the games are the softest.

Hand 1: Villain is playing 51/4/3af The guy was donking every pot and just owning. Pot was always value from this guy and I saw him pot bet AT on AKxxx 3 flush riv IP after flatting flop and turn. basically he is capable of making thin value bets. Easy value shove?
