Schneids's Blog

December 31 2007

It feels like two days ago I was typing my blog, when really it was 9. Anyway since the last blog, I had a marathon HU session vs Tuan Lam (2nd place WSOP Main Event finisher, formerly Babyhan on Stars) where he won just over $20,000 against me. It was an up and down session, like most HU sessions are and especially as they will be against him since he plays extremely hyper-aggressive at times. I also had a session on Christmas night when I could do no wrong and won $25,000 playing 100/200 and 200/400.

Last night I played a long session where I got stuck $25,000ish in 200/400 and then came back to win $8500 total on the night.

Here are a few hands (actually, a lot...) from the session last night. Again I'm running short on time so I'm just copy/pasting them. I avoided pasting too many of the beats/reasons how I got stuck $25,000 super quickly, though a majority of them were from me being in a big lead on the turn and then getting rivered:

What is super positive for me is as we end 2007 I honestly feel like I've been playing better LHE than ever and have been getting the best of almost every opponent I am playing against in 4+ handed games. I hope this confidence and continued success carry over into 2008. I'm also pretty happy that quietly quarter number four has turned into a really good 3 month stretch for me, especially considering how little I played online in October and November.

To everyone, I wish you a happy new years!
