The rebound

So i just started getting back into the rythm of playing lots of poker after my recent large downswing. I took a few days off to clear my head and have some fun and now when i sit down for a session i don't have that stress lingering around waiting to be outdrawn to go on tilt. I have been playing really well, i'm not running amazing either but i've made about 3500$ this week i think in only 6000 hands of 1/2. After cashing out 2k for Vegas my BR is back up to $17,400 and i should be receiving somewhat around 2k for rakeback.

With all that in mind i have been trying to consider my poker career for the next month or so. I really need to buy a new Truck, i'm almost certain it will be a Toyota Tacomba, unless i win lots of dollars in Vegas. I'm going to finance the truck (if i can get a loan) that way i can preserve most of my BR. What i have been debating in my head is if i should rush back to 2/4, or just sit back at 1/2 for a few months and try to grind out a good living. I'm pretty certain i can beat 2/4, but the 1/2 game is sooo much softer. Anyways, here is a really funny hand from the day, apparently 200$ is nothing to this guy...

Best Drunk Session EVER

so... played somewhat drunk b/c i thought I could beat the games... Played like a ninja.. obviously.. 3- .25/.5 tables 1-.10/.25 table and 2-2/4 tables. Played 404 hands total +750$, So needed, a couple one or two good sessions and i should be back at the 2/4 tables!! Funniest thing ever.. a guy made fun of me at a .25/.5 table b/c he had stats on me and in the last week i obvioulsy lost some money. Point of the story, don't make fun of people if your bank roll is less than 1/10th their BR.. I busted that guy if you couldn't guess that..

So i found out I'm not going to the keys this week, long story that I REALLY don't want to talk about. Worst case scenario i'll get to play a decent amount of poker for the week before i go to Vegas. Anyways, i'm almost certain i'll be in the keys for about a week or so during the July 4th period, if anyone wants to make a trip to the keys i'll take yah fishing... lata

to get caught up

So i haven't posted in a while... I apologize again. I was just catching up on my comments, i love the debate you guys have going there. I think the coolest thing about your comments is that you can all respect each others opinions w/o calling people idiot's-(a common theme in interet forums). I personally think all your points make sense. You can't generalize love/marriage into one category, everyone is different, and everyone wants something slightly different. IMO all girls want financial security like i do b/c i want a family some day and i don't want to live day to day when i have to support my family. This doesn't mean the girl is materialistic or only with me b/c i have money. The biggest part of my plan that i think i failed to mention however is that my criteria for the girl i'm going to marry is that she is going to be RICH!! Absolutely LOADED.... hahaha..j/k.

Anyways, onto another story line. So, the past few weeks have been extremely stressful for me. I had big plans for the month leading up to my Vegas trip.. I was to play 60-80k hands and make between 10-20k. The first week went pretty smooth, about 21k hands and +4.5k! Not bad and considering i wasn't running all that well i'll take it. The next week wouldn't be as nice, I played around 14k hands and ended at -10k! Not so much fun! BR dropped to 15,800 and i started playing 1/2 again at about $17,700. While this was crushing my morale, i took a few days to think of the situation. All in all its not as bad as it seems. I still have a respectable BR, plus I should be getting around 2k in rakeback in a week or so.. I looked over the hands in Poker Tracker to make sure i wasn't making terrible mistakes with a certain hand range. Suited connectors were considerably losing for me over this stretch mainly b/c i continued to flop 13+ out draws and hit about 1/10 on average.. This leads to a losing streak with me b/c i tend to play my draws VERY aggressive. Also in a lot of my sessions there would be 2 or 3 pots that i lost either being a heavy favorite or right at 50/50 that had i won those i would have been even or winning on the session. What can ya do.

So Tomorrow i am going to Key West for a few days before the Vegas trip to satisfy the itch i have to go diving. Will be in the keys until friday and I fly to Vegas on Sunday, So excited!

WhoDat- I'm way to lazy to ship fish out, but if you come to vegas or florida anytime soon i have a freezer full of fish, let me know if you want some.
