200nl so far

has been.............fairly non-existent.

i played maybe 300 hands late last week and was up about a buy-in. i sat down saturday nite to put in a huge session and ftp was down all night.

early this week i've just been crazy busy with other stuff and haven't had a chance to play. i sat down for a short session last night and lost 3/4 of a buy-in over 600 hands. i have all of tonight, tomorrow night and saturday to play so im setting a goal of playing 6k hands between now and saturday.

i bought a new 24" monitior so i now can comfortably 6 table (or more) without overlap. i'll probably keep 4-tabling for now but if i find a bunch of good games i won't be hesitant to play 6.

here's some hands from last nights session:

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2413781 - nothing to do but mash the keyboard, kick the dog and through the monitor thru a window.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2413786 - the 3-bet pre is debatable and probably thin at best. i think this is something i need to work on in my game. anyways, villain is lag and might be a tad spewy post flop but i have no real hard evidence.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2413789 - i played this hand brutally. pre-flop i can't isolate raise since limper is so short but i think my hand is strong enough to limp along. i don't see any point in raising the flop so i just call. mistake 1 is calling the turn. villain was not a special player by any means and i think another lead out on this turn is two pair or better. mistake 2 is the river bet, not realizing that sets made up a large portion of his range here. puke.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2413793 - if im going to run bad, i want it to be in smaller pots like this.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2413797 - i think this is pretty standard, it's not too often im behind but if i am i had still a decent amount of equity. (34% in this instance against the nuts)

here's a real cool blog post from online high stakes pro Raptor that i really relate with and is probably one of my larger obstacles to over come as a player.

i might play a few tournies in the upcoming nights as well so it would be nice to boost the bankroll that way. i've also put in a request for a coach through deuces cracked so i'm looking forward to that as well.
