Messed Up Day

0

I had 5 hours of sleep today, and I felt like shit. I slept through my first class (Intro to Politics, lol). Stats was next, and I found out I got a 73 on an exam I took. I looked through my errors and found out that I made the most careless errors ever that cost like 17 points! An example would be that I solved and got an equation correct (Let's say 1.5 < x < 7). All I have to do now is to write down the given numbers for this problem that are between these numbers and what do I do? I write down all the numbers between those and also numbers like 16 & 19! It was definitely because of my lack of sleep that night. I only had ~2 hrs. Pretty wack. At least I got one of the highest scores in my orgo exam (105). The cool thing about this score is that it is better than my tutor who got a hundred. Pretty kick ass brag imo.

While finding all of this out, I was in a crappy and emo mood. It's weird since nothing in life went wrong yesterday, and I won $500! I'm pretty sure it was the lack of sleep. I was very down on myself and reevaluating life in a very negative way. The sad thing about my thoughts is that most of it is true (Don't want to reveal this incase my friends find out about this blog). This mood I was in hasn't happen for a long time as I've been somewhat happy recently. At least now it's gone, and I've caught up on a lot of school work!

Poker: Another great day in poker. +4 buyins. Things started off very slow as I slowly lost 2 buyins. However, somehow cards came my way again, and I was value betting like crazy! It was a very poker day as I am really satisfied with my plays I've been making.

-First hand on a person that is tagged as a fish for some reason. I don't know much about this person, but since he was tagged as a fish, I'm going to bet/fold the turn as fishes no matter what kind loves to call if they aren't going to raise.

-This was a very fun opponent to play with. After playing him for ten minutes, I noticed that this person is playing very straight forward. Calling with his marginal holdings and raising up his made hands.However, he was calling a lot of my 3bs. So of course I 3b AQo and I get a good flop, so I cbet. Once called, I really hated the turn and was going to c/f, however, luckily he checked, which signal to me that his hand is only one pair. The 9 on the river completed some 2 pairs + 99, but I strongly felt I had to best hand, so I bet and get nicely paid off.

-This is probably a hand you guys think is standard, it is, but I thought it was funny. This is the same villian in the previous hand. We've been playing for quite a bit now, and it was me pretty much dominating him by raising 95% of my btns + cbetting all flops & even 2nd barrelling a ton since he stopped 3b + raising flops after I showed aggression back on the times he did raise me. He did however adjust by c/c with top pairs, so I was more selective with my 2nd barrels. On this hand, I hit the nuts and I fired my std cbet size. Note that I was one tabling and he hasn't raised my btn for quite a while, so when he c/r me, I accidently CiB, and he shipped it! I was cracking up since the only time he raised me, he walked right into the nuts!

-And finally, it's always nice to win coinflips :)
