And Merry Christmas. I hope you spent some time with friends and family today instead of grinded at the poker tables like me. I just couldn’t help myself – games were real good today. This month has been just sick for me and I’m on pace to have my best month ever by a lot. I am running red hot at 6.5 BB/100 and my bankroll just broke $30k. Right now I am 9,000 VPPs short of supernova on stars so my main goal for the month is to finish that up so I’m hoping I can eek out ~13,000 hands before month’s end.
Since I got home to NC I bought a decent desk and I’m really liking my setup. I’ll try to get up some pics of it next time. I also got enough FPPs finally to order me a 40″ LCD tv from stars – shiiiiiipppp it(in like 4 weeks when it gets here lol). I’ve found with no obligations I can really devote myself to the game better, play longer sessions, learn the regulars and figure out their game and ways to exploit them.
Timing tells can be so huge when other people are playing like 16 tables. Here’s a big bluff I pulled off today that I was particularly happy about. He instacalled my flop CR so I was pretty confident he did not have AK or a set. The river was a pretty perfect card for me.

I’ve also been learning some card tricks in my free time. They are great to practice while watching tv or doing whatever. I think I’ve actually got a few blisters on my hands today from cutting the deck so many times. The jumping gemini trick is one I learned awhile ago and its very sick. Anyways, here’s a link to the guy I learned from, but there’s plenty of others if you just search youtube.
