Back Home

Hey Guys,

Sorry about the delays. I decided to drive up (down?) to Georgia for the weekend to visit my friend from high school. It was awesome and basically the best weekend ever but I came back swamped with shit to do and just got through most of it today. I was up till 5am last night doing problem sets and almost missed my 9:00 class to even turn in the damn thing but I managed to get there before class was over.

After a nap and a three hour accounting lecture, I decided to get nxtwrldchamp to sweat me at 2/4 since I haven't played in a week and I've been meaning to get at least one live sweat at 2/4. It seems from our discussion that I was playing well, but somehow amongst my opponents raising every single turn bet I made I lost $2k. Some sample hands from this abominations of a session:

Nothing really to say here, obviously I could flat the flop but given how huge my equity is on the flop and also the fact that SB was a fish who might not stack off on some scary turns makes me think raising is slightly better.

Here i decide to slowplay my aces against a spewy reg but the turn doesn't work out so hot. I'm pretty sure it's still a push given how often ppl bet the king simply because it's a king, and also that nobody ever folds AK and they always play it this way. Meh.

When it came down to it stuff like this is what was hurting me most (and running KK into AA to end the session ldo), I just couldn't pull off a bluff without someone repopping me on the turn.


So...I'm down 5 buyins and this day sucks so what do I do? I go get a sandwich and come back to play another two hours at 1/2. Obviously crushed it. Here goes:

His call took about 0.023 seconds in this one. These are actually v. TeejayorTJ if anyone knows him from 2p2 or whatever, seems like he was pretty bad. One more hand of his before bed...
