What I've been up to

0

Damn, updating this blog frequently is much more work than I expected. That's probably because of all the exams and random errands I had to do. The good news is that it's all over until March 3rd!

With some extra time in my hands, I plan on getting an In-Dash navigation system for my 2008 Nissan Altima. I'm trying to look for one of the best navigation system out there (that hopefully comes with a rear-view camera & an IPod Integrator that goes into my Glove box . My threshold on how much I'm going to spend on the equipment is going to be ~$1500 unless I absolutely love what 'm getting. However, I haven't done my research on this and suggestions on what to get would be great. I'm also planning on getting a new cell phone and suggestions for that would be great too. Requirement for my cell phone is that it has to look very cool and have a qwerty. An added bonus for the cell phone would be if it has a touch screen.

Poker: Below is the results I had since Saturday.

The action has been crazy good for me. I know I was running super hot, and that I had to cool down at some point. It happened when I faced a villain who bought in for 100bb and built up a stack to 690bb. However, I didn't quit him since he wasn't a good player at all and of course after grinding 600 hands against him, I took back all my money + $60 of his. (Rake took $40 off the table!). There wasn't any super interesting hands during our session. He built up his stack through hitting pairs all day all night, and many times I decided to try to bluff anyways.

However that doesn't mean that I'm not going to leave you guys without hands!

The river by all means was a value-bet. This was early on in the match, but villain showed many fish like tendency for me to justify that a shove was +EV since his line signifies many weaker hands than mine. Hands that I was looking to be called on was any diamond and also sometimes Ax. However, that is to not say my bet was good. In retrospect, I prefer betting half pot and folding to any further action. With this action, villain is much MORE likely to call me down and might even call with a pair of 7s or some worse junk. Unfortunately, it didn't go well.

This was the 2nd time villain l/minraise me out of 5 to 6 times I raised it up oop. When I got this board, I decided to go for a c/r since villains range does not consists of many 7s. When he called me, I still felt comfortable that he still didn't have a 7 and put his range as any pair, flush draws, and maybe even gutshots or overs. By shoving, I am forcing so many of these hands to fold that I felt the shove is +EV as villain would be scared that I am going to have a 7 with the way I played it.

Well that is it, hopefully I can update more frequently with what's been happening.
