So I’ve finally gotten moved out to Seattle and settled in somewhat. It took 4-5 days of driving to get out here and another week before I could move into an apartment. Another week later cable guy finally shows up for his appointment to hook up internet and what do you know I haven’t played poker in like a month.
I’ve been playing alot recently though and am going to do my best to keep it up. My gf has a 8-5 job and its remarkably easy to get hands in when you know you won’t be able to play much post 6pmish PST 5 days a week. I’m definitely off my game a bit, I truly believe poker is like any skill/sport in that you need to “practice/train” everyday in order to stay on top/play well(that is you might say I’m out of poker shape at the moment).
I started off playing like one session of 2/4 to get back in the groove lost like 4 buyins, said fuck it and I’ve been playing mostly 5/10 & 10/20 since. Lately I’ve noticed the games either been playing alot deeper or I’ve just been playing longer sessions and building up big stacks. Either way I’ve been playing alot more deep poker lately and it’s definitely something I’m still adjusting to and thinking alot about. I’ve lost and won some of the biggest pots of my career lately, winner, big loser, bigger loser
In the first loser I’d been 3 betting Tinnitus(mark at table) almost every hand and he’d been calling every time so it’s a straight value 3 bet, facing the coldfour I figured swolen picked up on this and was making a move and besides Axs plays well deep. Flop is standard, still dunno about my preflop call on this one table was playing kinda tight except for me & Tinnitus iirc.
On second loser Luke had just stacked me literally like 10 hands previously by oversetting me with quads and I just didn’t believe he had a set there. I think my play is pretty good 100bb deep, 200bb I think it’s bad but I’m still not really sure where/how I should be folding on this one. Comments welcome. Anyways I had a good past two days and am slowly grinding my way out of the hole I’ve dug for myself these first couple days back.
I’ll try to update more in near future, I’ve had some ideas for more interesting posts lately rather than blablablah this is my life & hands I played recently. Also will try to gather up results for past couple months & post them. Until then enjoy Quentin Tarantino destroying some censoring bitch newscaster.
