Go Packers!

Well, 3AM debating whether to play another little session before I go to bed or not. Umm...Sunday night Ace, Mike, and I went to meet up with JP and his wife as they were in for the weekend and we didn't have the chance to meet up before then. The 5 of us hung out in some bar in New York New York and listened to some cover band that played a little bit of everything. After that we went and tried to get a HORSE game going at MGM and played 2/4 until they decided to ultimately tell us they weren't going to spread it. Somehow I ended up approximately $150 and a 6pack of Heineken. We thought we wanted to continue playing some we went to the Excalibur for all of 4 minutes until we realized we were all pretty much done with limit hold'em for the night. We left after I lost to quad 2's.

Today I woke up and played a little bit and then realized I wanted to get outta the house for awhile. Ace and I went to the Venetian and I placed a small wager on the Packers because I'm pretty much the definition of a "homer". I just wanted to actually see a game since I haven't really focused on watching a whole game yet this year. Well we gave up on the whole idea after the poor showing by the Packers in the first quarter. We walked through the mall for a bit before we decided to head back home.

I did play awhile after I got home. I played for about 2 hours 2-3 tabling. Honestly since I started playing again I only have about 1,100 hands in and there's really nothing I would really post for my sake or anyone elses. I'm down like $60....I did try running a bluff that was going pretty well...guess i'll post this...

Villain(opponent) was in and out of pots. My image was pretty good at this table. I wasn't really getting anything in or out of position to play. Standard Cbet on flop. He seemed to hesitate to call, I put him squarely on the flush draw. My read was backed up further after the turn action as I believe if he had an actual hand he was being aggressive from what I could tell from watching previous hands. After the river was a nonheart I knew I had to bet when checked to to scoop the pot. For about 15 seconds I thought I had actually carried out a play and it worked.

I think these are spots I need to work on. I suppose I could have just given up after being called on the flop. I think from the actions I had a very good idea that he was on the flush draw. I think I may not even have to be doing this at 1/2NL, but I tend to get myself into situations. I basically had this one losing play, and chipped up on other tables to basically break even. I think I'm going to try to keep my sessions max. 1.5 hours as I tended to start wandering off and either not playing hands strongly all the way through or tossing in some play out of nowhere. Think I'm just used to playing longer, 4 tabling sessions at full ring where i'd setmine for 6 hours and just feel like a robot.

Guess I'll try to put in a little session here before I go to sleep or take a nap whatever it turns out to be. Hopefully I can get in at least 1k hands tomarow as I need to get my points to retain gold status at Stars.

PIECE OUT
