Brutal 25/50 Session (Vent)
Wahhh I just played a 200 hand 2-tabling 25/50 session and got brutalized...
I started well with a huge suck-out versus a fish with 50bb's in a 3-way 3-bet pot, mowing down his AxAd with my KxQd on K84ddd (turn 8, river K).
The next 150 hands though were pure death.
I raised UTG with KK and then check-called three streets HU versus the button on a Th 8h 5s Qs 7c board. He had 88. GG 3K.
I then turned a set with 88 on Q6482 rainbow and shoved over UTG's triple barrel - he had 75s. GG 5K.
I then got in KK v AA preflop and didn't spike. GG another 5K.
Against the fish from the first hand I got in AA v K2 on Q932 for 30bb's each and he spiked a 2 on the river. GG 1.5K.
Finally, I flatted 33 on the button versus UTG+1 and called the flop and turn on 9c 3c 7s Qs. He bet really large on the Ah river and I thought for a good 20 seconds about just flatting. Then I thought I might just be just gun-shy after all the coolers so I min-raised all-in for 2K more and sure enough he had 99. GG another 5K.
So after back to back -15K days now I'm only up like 15K for the year. Much work to do...

The Heater Continues...
Poker has continued to go well. Since returning from the coast (where I reviewed my poker notes for the first time in almost a year!) I've simply been on fire - playing well and running extremely well.
I was having another really good session today but then badly butchered two hands for 5K total and immediately quit before I started tilting off all the hard work that I had done. I'm going to finish the rest of my poker notes tonight and then hopefully continue my good form next weekend. Let's see if I can get it to 100K before I hit the inevitable downswing!

$40K in 4000 Hands!
I've had a horrid start to the year so I'm going to indulge myself a bit and post a brag of my last 2 days. It's all 10/20 except for 11 hands of 5/10 and 58 hands of 25/50.
I'm now up for the year online and am only down about 10K overall (which really is just the PCA buy-in). Finally, I can properly start climbing towards my $200K profit goal for the year.
In unrelated news, I missed my first class of the year today because I misread my timetable and arrived 2 hours too late :(. Take the good with the bad I guess!
