Decided to play a lil higher and looser with game selection lately.

I have been overrolled for these games for a while and need to stop being a bitch and let it ride a lil and see if I can move up and make some real dough. Not to say I'm not happy cause overall poker has been a blessing, but being too conservative prolly isn't gunna ever make me enough money to justify making poker a career after school (this semester and one more!).

Now is my time. Money now is different now than it will be later imo. I feel once I get a wife and/or fam. my risk tolerance will decrease a bunch.

So I should grind and study hard and move up/ take shots in some 5-10 or super soft 10-20, while I can and while the money is still here and I'm able to do it.

N e way. Like I said..... I have been game selecting a little looser recently and playing a lil higher. Lately, as long as I don't have many (5-6) tables running (which lately has been never), I'll play N E 1 HU to start games at 2-4 6m tables. Sometimes even 3-6. To be honest I'm not sure how I compare to other solid 6m regs who start HU games with me. I feel like I have an edge on everyone! But I KNOW this can't be true. I don't pride myself in HU play and think it's actually a weakness of mine........ However for some reason I feel fine about hu play when it's to start a 6m game. idk if the dynamics are diff cause of the likeliness the match will end when more people join in.....? idk but I feel pretty confident that esp over small sessions (such as starting tables) that I am profitable against most players.

Took my very first "shot" at 10-20. Bankroll wise, I am not comfortable playin these stakes, or even 5-10 for that matter. Buuuuuut..... I was watchin a 10-20 game cause it looked soft and there was 2 players in the game which I had notes on. I don't remember exact notes but they meant they were fishy. After seeing a few donkish plays from another player, I couldn't resist.

I took off "auto reload" and sat with 2K. Which was my only bullet. If I remember correctly 2 players covered me and there was 2-3 weak players with stacks between 1-2K. 15 hands in I pick up AA in the sb and squeeze a c/o open to $260 total (pot) after the button flatted. He tanks, and shoves! I call after bracing myself and quickly reminding myself to stay calm no matter what happens (ready for a beat!). He showed 33 and my hand held for the biggest pot (by a long shot!) of my life! Without rake in was $3,900! Holy cow! I tried my best to stay cool and act calm/professional-like when my hand held...... but I wanted to do cartwheels!

Roughly a few weeks before this hand the previous biggest hand I've played, and also won happened. 3-6 I got in preflop, 3way, pairs against my overs (ak) and I got there obviously! :) For $1,780ish........ Been runnin so hot lately.


N e way.... been ramblin, and drinkin. Please exuse my awesome grammer. As I read it.....lol.. probably should fix some run-on sentances but you get the idea. N e way... peace

P.S. Even though this is super braggy..... I'm havin a pretty bad month :(
