Structure

Well for the past month or so ive been off and on with my daily habits...such as the time i wake up, to what i do when i wake up, how many hands i get in during the day and the time at which i get those hands in, the time i work out and the time i just sit and read...these are all things that i want to have structure and a time that i can get these done that way i have time to do all the things that i want to do...so for the next month im really going to try to be up by 9 at the latest so i can be at the gym by 9:30ish and be out of there by 11...soon as i get back from doing that i want to put in hands for about 2 hours or so then eat some lunch take a nap and then get on the grind again that way im not up till 2 in the morning getting in hands...that way from about 5 or 6 on i will be able to do kind of whatever i want whether i just go to a friends or watch some sports on TV i will have some free time for that....and then also i want to get some reading in at night ( my goal is to read through the whole Bible by the end of summer, ive read a lot of it but never just straight through)...alright so thats enough with my rant on to some pokers...

alright so yesterday was a pretty good day at the tables i got in 1700 hands and won a lil over 6 buy ins which is nice....i played about 24/21/4 on the day which has become my standard...(this is all at 400nl btw because 3/6 is rigged)...nothing really crazy happened it was just a normal day of grinding i picked up some hands in some good spots and people did some pretty dumb stuff along the way...i would post some hands but im kind of lazy right now

well im off to take a little sleepers then be back at the tables for some more

God Bless

the beginning

THE FIRST BLOG!!! OH the excitement.

Well today started off pretty good i was able to get to the gym nice and early, (9:30) is pretty early to be working out but i'm trying to be consistent with it. after i finished up working out i got home at some foods because i was starving, and then got on some tables and for the first sessions i managed to lose a cool $1600. so i took a break and hit up the golf course with some friends (i did horrible as expected, but i am determined to get good at that game). Then i got back home and put in another little session and i think i won about $600 back so i wasnt in to bad of shape.

So i stopped playing for a bit and hung out with a friend and we watched some of the playoff games(which are kind of pointless because the lake show is taking it for sure). So while my friends was here i decided it was time to pop up some tables and start to try and get into the green for the day...well i failed and i got down $2400 for the day. but i was able to make a strong recovery as one of my poker buds wanted to sweat and i was able to get into some good spots and bring it back so i was up a cool $300 for the day.

here are some of the hands from the day

Some losers:

here the villain had been fairly aggro in our blind battles so i decided to throw a little back at him...he shove on the turn was a pretty easy because i think he has air a lot here and as you can see i beat that and if he does show up with an over pair i do have pretty good equity with 14 outs

my aggressive image pays off here i was playing 32/29 and he was playing 25/21 so it was bound to happen i just couldnt hold
http://weaktight.com/186544

the villains play here was pretty atrocious he is never ahead of anything that calls and he is really banking on me folding out all my air

Some Winners:

This was the hand that really turned my night around...this was the player i was just waiting to get into a good spot against
http://weaktight.com/186546

here was a spot against a nit where i really thought he had 22 but i just can not find a fold here...just a sick cooler for me when the money goes in but lucky i find one of those 4 outs
http://weaktight.com/186547

the bet sizing here by this player just tells me that he has a draw and is just looking to ship the money in...so its a pretty easy shove

alright so thats about it for the first blog...hopefully i can get some reading in before i go to sleep...i want to try to read the bible from front to back...something i have never really done before even though ive read a lot of it in my lifetime...

God Bless
