Day One

Well, Day One of 25NL is officially in the books. I played two pretty long four-table sessions for a total of 2,911 hands and $51.10 profit good for 3.51ptbb/100. Not a bad start to the month. If I could run at ~3.51ptbb/100 for the month I will be pretty pleased as I plan on getting in a decent amount of hands which would make for a decent profit.

In those 2,911 hands I ran at a whopping 14/11.5. Yea, I'm a nit. Hopefully I can start to open up my game soon, just still working on getting a hang of 25NL again.

Below is my graph for today and a couple of interesting hands.












This is a pretty lol hand. When villain turned over his hand I was NOT expecting to see that hand. I thought that I was going to see AK or something. I liked how I played the hand, open raising and his 3bet was small enough that I felt I could stack him if I hit the flop hard as he had been flinging money around the last few orbits.

This hand is pretty much a cooler. Min 3-betting preflop ftw. I would play this hand the same just about 100% of the time. He is going to be calling with so many hands that I am ahead of that it is basically throwing money away to not ship river. The only thing I would ever do differently in this hand is maybe check/call the river.

I love this hand. Even nits play a little maniacally sometimes. I call pf just looking to see if I can outplay him postflop. I decide to bet the flop because I'm not really all that happy with my hand and want to see where I am and charge him for a flush draw while I'm ahead. The turn comes and is another great card for me as now I pick up even more outs if he has an A and he flats again. River is basically the prettiest card in the deck and I decided to ship it in because he is never ever folding an A and my hand is so well disguised here.

This hand was by far the biggest pot I played, a ~400BB pot vs a pretty loose opponent. Felt very good to 1. get paid off with top set and 2. be on the good side of a cooler.

Night class went well tonight, we learned about different types of Fallacies (I'm taking an Intro to Logic course at the local Community College along with an online Civil War class). We got our tests back from the first two chapters and I got a 68/75, 91% imo. Woulda been higher but I changed my answer on an answer or two that were right. Oh well, only need a C to transfer into SVC, but I'd like to do well in these classes to springboard myself into the fall semester.

That's all I got for now, it's 6am and I'm tired as hell. Peace.
