Oh Goodness.

This is the week from hell in the college world. 3 Finals, One paper, and one HUGE project away from finishing half of my undergraduate college career. I have crazy procrastination skillz. Poker just allows me to procrastinate without having to battle myself as I am sitting at my desk trying to get legit work done. That is why I banned myself yet again on both stars and tilt because I apparently just want to find other means at which to waste time. I get a lot of crap from my friends from my constant self exclusion, but I really do have trouble not playing to procrastinate.

I went to the Sox-Yankees game on Friday night. It was the first of 3 games of this wonderful weekend. After Jason Bay tied it up with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and Youkilis's walk-off dinger, I practically had a religious experience and reflected with my friends on what we just witnessed. All I can remember is screaming so loud that my throat hurt for the rest of the night. Fenway was electric. The crowd was actually not incredibly into it all game until after Neil Diamond's lovely "Sweet Caroline" and that promptly pumped the crowd up for the rest of the game. After the game, they were giving out free "yankee hater" bumper stickers and I prompted to take four or five because I am sure I can find uses for these (like covering the douche bag's door who lives above me who's a big yankee fan).

On a poker front, I've been 6 tabling sng's for a nice profit over on stars. the 650 turbo's are pretty soft with on avg like 1-2 players doing the same thing as me. I just so can't wait till I can play over the summer where I don't have school in the back of my mind.

A Recap

Yo! Do I know you? I am glad I don't feel pressure to write frequently on this thing cause I sure as hell don't post too often. Anyway, I have been really trying to get some hours in online and I definitely have some legit results to prove it. 3.5 weeks of cash so far and I have seen my roll rise from 165--406. It is now at a healthy 381, which is a result of donkey plays and consistent suckouts in the mini FTOPS satellites that Full Tilt runs as consistently as my donkitude right now. Cash has definitely had it's ups and downs. Pretty much what I learned so far is that 3betting regulars is a lovely tactic (with the help of Poker Copilot) and to never play poker at 3-4am. I have really gotten down playing 4 tables of 6 max and have been working in the fifth table from time to time. One example of a play I like to do sparingly, but has worked very consistently.

I raise to .30 from the button with any two cards (this scenario happens to be with K2).
a regular (whom I identify using poker copilot with his VPIP at 20 with his PFR to be close to the same thing as his VPIP) notices ive been stealing a lot and 3 bets me to 90 cents. I think for a bit, but knowing exactly what I want to do all along, I confidently raise to 3 dollars and he almost instafolds. Yeah, this is uber aggressive, but that's my style. Soon I hope to be able to organize all my hand history to break more hands down for analysis by anyone out there. I've had great experiences talking to my roommate about stategy and he always seems to convince me that I should have thought it this way, despite it sounding completely counterintuitive. Below is the update of my br. Have a good rest of the week!
