Quick Bio

After many years of going to school and saying no to drugs I graduated with a degree!  Little did I know it would lead me to being beaten into the ground at the hands of a soulless corporation.  After 3 years I quit to play poker professionally.  I've now been full-time over 7 years, yet revenge is still in the air.  It's crazy to look back and realize I started this blog as I was simply 'pumping myself up' to quit the real world and go full time.  Now I also do some writing for fun as a 'day job' (some freelance and paid, but an insignificant sum compared to 5/10 live) and airbnb my place when I don't feel like playing as much.

Saved By Saturday Again (4/10/2011)

Ran ok tonight up +$850 in 8 hours.  Would have been up over $1,000 but decided to run a 3-street semi-bluff/bluff with JQs which cost me -$250.  Dude calls me down 3 streets with a bottom pair on the (4 T 8 K 3 board, ok wow.  Great job that was the only hand you beat in my range there.  I could have gave up on the river, but decided a $150 bet would take it down most of the time.  This time it didn't work out.  Anyways, I'm not going to beat myself over it.  I had him as a decent regular, knew he was weak, and thought I could barrel him off the hand a very high percentage of the time.  Didn't work out that way, so oh well.

Finished up +$475 total on the live week, all of the profit coming from Saturday alone.  Hopefully next week I can START OFF stronger, it's getting stressful getting saved by Saturday each week.  The last two weeks all of the profit came on Saturday.  I should have just played 1 Saturday per week during the past two weeks and my win-rate would have been through the roof!!!

But really just kidding around, no correlation there.  Just a statistical anomaly of me running good the last two Saturdays while running like dog-shit Thursday-Friday. 

Up close to $500 is really just a buy-in, it's the mimimum I'd want to average winning weekly during the next few months, but it's not bad.  3 winning weeks in a row and trying to keep the momentum going.  I might even check out a week-night live on Monday or Tuesday.  If I find nothing I'll just leave and go online no big deal.
