logging more hands

so i put a good session last nite and managed to log over 1300 hands 4-tabling while also playing in the $75 7pm mtt. i busted around 140ish i think in what was probably a 650 person field im guessing. i had a bit of a roller coaster start and then won a big pot when i flopped flush over flush. after that i won and lost some small pots till i got it all-in pre-flop w/ JJ vs AKs and my JJ held. i blew off some chips later when i made a raise from ep w/ 66 and got cold called. flop came 442 rainbow, i c-bet, cold caller shoved and i folded. with 14bb's left i had a pretty tight image and opened KJs from mp which i hate since i can't stand a re-raise but i thought i was tight enough to get away with it. guy right behind me cold calls and we take the flop head-up. flop is KJx with two spades, i elected to open jam and he snap called w/ Aces and spiked an Ace on the river.

over the course of my cash game session i made a half buy-in. the following all occurred within about 7 minutes at one table near the end of my session.

about 1 lap later;

so i get stacked twice very quickly and decide to play up a tilted image on this hand;

fortunately i get very lucky but the verbal berating i got from the poor sucker with the aces was pretty priceless.

here are the other hands where i stacked someone in the session.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2183179 - villain is very loose passive and is playing 50% of his hands to any action. i figure him for a pretty wide range here including all pairs probably Tens and lower and almost any broadway hand. flop sucks and against most players i would just check it back since their range is usually heavily weighted towards pairs which are going to give me action but since this guy is calling with JT and what not i think i have to c-bet. here's where i screw up, i bet, he insta-raises all-in and when i looked at the pot size i thought i was getting like 5-1 since on ftp they include the whole stack he just shoved in. so figuring i probably had 6 outs i made the call, then realized after the fact that i wasn't even getting 3-1. oooops!

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2183202 - this hand was pretty standard, villain has taggish stats but makes way too many moves pre-flop and post-flop. he 4-bet shoves AK pre-flop all day here so when he shoves on the flop im pretty sure he has a worse Ace, the same ace or a flush draw.

i may play a little tonight but im unsure yet. tomorrow i think i will be getting in a good amount of hands to end off the month. i'm pretty surprised that i've already played over 21k hands this month. thats a lot for me since my playing time is limited and i usually just stick to 4 tabling. my graph so far 100nl over 12k hands looks a little like the mcdonalds arch but 12k hands is nothing to worry about. i'm just going to keep plugging leaks till i reach my goals.

random thoughts/occurrences:

- rakeback account is up to 1.4k and am just gonna let it keep accumulating till i need it.
- i re-upped my cardrunners membership and also joined deucescracked since they look like they are putting out a good product and don't have drm protection on their videos.
- i leave for vegas in a week which is just disgusting to think about. i can't fucking wait.
- my roll is now spread to 3k in pocket for vegas, 5.2k on my ftp account after paying for my cr and dc subscriptions and shipping a friend a hundo, and 1.4k in rakeback.
- i had this feeling of just not wanting to lose in vegas when i go but fuck that. i'm only going to be playing low limit shit and i should be by far the best player at the table when i play so here's hoping i destroy the games.

feb pt screen shot coming saturday!
