September 24 - Back to it...

Just wanted to put something up since it has been a few days. I'm in the process of trying to learn HULHE. I currently suck very much at it, and it's fun because in seeing 80% of flops, and like 40% of rivers...I get to see how truly bad I run! Only down like 50BB playing 2/4HU (I have a severe stop-loss in the learning stage to a.) control the “loss” feeling differential than NLHE, b.) not get super frustrated over 100BB downs that happens, and c.) it's good for ya)....but it really is amazing how often people will hit 2pr when I have a piece. Or how often I get notched...O well...just keep on grinding.

Finally starting to put in more sessions. I got very lazy for a bit there, and I'm finally back to putting in like 2 sessions/day at a minimum...playing through FTP and PS. It hasn't been fun by any stretch (more set < set, set < flush, notched trips, etc), but at least I'm getting back in the swing of things. I also figured out a huge transitional leak I had. So in fixing that, I now either 1.) put in a 35min-1hr session playing my normal aggro game...or 2.) put in 45min of aggro, then super tone-down. I realized I wasn't adjusting as well as I should against people adjusting to my stealing and such...and that should pay off well in the near future.

I've recently pumped my FR stats up a bit. I'm running like 16/12/3.5 on average, ATS of 60%. It's actually kind of fun, and people are just so passive it's amazing. I just need to either 1.) cooler people more or 2.) dodge more often...and all will be gravy.

Other than that, Kingjamen got neutered the other day. Poor guy. He's still a bit sluggish...but he's starting to get his swagger back...slowly but surely. Not really sure what personality changes I should be noticing, but I'm really hoping he stops marking on furniture. He doesn't really do it in the house...but he will in a new place (or...did. I haven't taken him any place new since the operation). So I'll keep an eye on that and hope all goes well.

Things to do...make a video for my site (whoops...been awhile), finalize my Stox video, and finalize my Poohbah.

And a hand before bed (“mis-click”...I guess I got away with it because I was running 42/35 over 45 hands on this table?):
