I have been out having a great summer so I really haven't played much poker at all. I tried moving up to 50NL again and ran bad for the 4 buyins I allow and moved back down. I am trying to get a real job as well right now so I can stop having to take money out of my bankroll consistently.

I have been hanging out with a lot of really great people lately and I love it. It feels so good to be able to hold educated conversations with the people I am associating with and party with them too!

Almost all the running bad was extremely standard. KK vs AA, Set over Set, etc so there really is no point to show most of the big losers. I have been really crushing skill wise which feels great!

So over the last 4k hands I have been running at -2bb/100 no biggy just an obvious return to a more resonable winrate. In my dreams could I continuously beat any cash game at 20bbs/100 lol.


I had one hand that I really hated the way my thought process went about during the hand.

It doesn't show in the HH, but the original raiser posted the BB out of position after sitting out and then made in .75. I had been three betting a decent amount, nothing crazy and if I remember correctly I had been a little tighter than usual but I usually play 19/18/4 so if I do enter an opened pot it is almost always to a three bet.

I really had no idea what to do here...I wanted to fold preflop lol but that just felt SOOOO weak. I have played with BangMusa before and he is relatively solid, playing 14/12/2 over a few hundred hands, so he probably has HUD stats on me or some kind of note.

Well I posted it on the forum as well. I usually always know what I want to do and why at this level so I figured I'd share it to get as much input as possible.

I am about to put in another couple thousand hands right now...and possibly hit up the live scene for a while!

I'll keep you updated!
