So I haven't blogged for a while and thought that I definitely need to get one in here seeing that I have officially dedicated myself to playing $25NL for my cash game. I think I have been getting a better understanding of the game from here. One of my big hands was where I was in the CO with 89ss. Action was folded around, so I made a standard 1.00 raise. everyone folds to the BB who calls (he was running like 40/17). flop came out Ah 6s 3s. BB checked to me, and I threw a cbet of 1.75 and he snap called. At this point I really didn't know where I stood and wasn't planning on putting a bet in unless I turned the flush. Turn hit the 10s. Villain leads for 4, at this point I put villain on a big ace and I just flat the turn. River was the 7s (woot woot). Villain ships and I snap off for a nice 40 buck pot.
I have been playing a lot of Mtts as well and thinking I have been playing well in them, though I seem to be getting bored and lose focus in the midstages. I definitely need to get better with that and keep focus throughout if I want to FT one of these someday.
Last night I get a little drunk and got online to see Aimhigher online. Him and I talk a lot about strategy and poker. He said he wanted to get back into mtts, so I threw him a stake to the $11 buyin 5k gtd tourny and he finished 12th, shipping me about 50 bucks. My BR right now stands at 599.48 which is awesome. I definitely want to get that up to about 1,000 here this month and think if I get more help, I can definitely accomplish that!
Non-poker stuff:
Today is my mom's annual Christmas party which is usually a good time. I have a few of my closest friends and my girlfriend here and get drunk and have a damn good time with all my parents friends. We seem to be a huge dysfunctional family (lol).
The girlfriend and I have been apart for a bit of time because of break. I decided to come back to my parents place in Willard and she stays in Cleveland. It just sucks not being able to see her as much as I usually do and we seem to argue a bit more now because of it, though tomorrow we are going to Athens to party and see about her house that got broken into. So that should be fun
I think thats all....I will be back later this week talking about my sessions.
