Well I played some more poker today. Woke up pretty late, around 1, and called up my boy Mario who I haven't seen in forever. He came over and watched me play for a little bit. It was pretty much straight down at first, but I started fighting back. I was mostly playing 3-6, 5-10, and 10-20 cap, but then some good 25-50 games broke out and I couldn't resist.

Somehow, I managed to run 11k under EV playing mostly small stakes. I killed it once again at 3-6 cap HU, but didn't do so well at higher stakes. I guess at higher stakes they play better.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?5084424 This was the biggest pot I played. It sucks losing the 7500 ones when I have that much online. Perhaps I should wait to play 25-50 until I have a little bit more to work with. Nahhhhhh, the only way to run up a roll is to take shots! I am going to keep updating with my account balances and maybe I will do a super run good and be back in the bigger games without having to deposit.

On stars I have like 3700, ftp 6500 for a total working BR of 10.2k. I think this is sufficient for the monkeys at 3-6 and 5-10 cap HU assuming I play mostly fish. I also don't have a problem sitting for 1/3 my bankroll in a game primarily because I don't have a problem quitting after I lose a buyin, and the upside is huge if I run good or just slightly not awful. Anyways, here is today's graph.

I am grindmoding pretty hard, but my volume will go down a bunch once school starts back up on Monday. I have to read the first half of Thucydides' Peloponnesian War, as well as do a good 6-8 hours of Greek translations before Monday, so that will probably eat up a decent chunk of my time. I also need to start getting back in shape, as I have been super lazy over the break doing a lot of travelling and fine dining.

I better get going, I have to pack still, then leave for the airport in 6 hours. Later.
