Last night and today were abysmal. I played 2500 hands and am down $450. So many coolers and suckouts and ridiculous calls I don't even want to get into it cause it's just going to make me more angry. I'm going to watch a few cardrunners videos tonight and look over my hands and do some analyzing.
So far I'm down about 400$ in March over 12k hands. ughhhhhhhhh

Bleh
Poker was no fun last night. It seemed like every miracle card got there for someone. I made one retarded play that cost me a buy in, but overall played very well, and just ran really bad. It's tough sometimes to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you run bad because you just see the losses you have at the moment.
I dropped about 300$ in 900 hands last night, but made back 82$ today in 426 hands. I missed out on some value in a few spots, which I'm going to evaluate, then put in another session later.
Friday I'm going to R.I. to see some 2p2 friends and play poker all night and all day Saturday.

Happy St. Patricks day
I haven't played since last Thursday night, until a few minutes ago. I got in 666 (uh oh) hands and made almost 100$. I think I played very well except for a few tricky spots that I plan on going over with my coach.
The coaching has been going well. The last time I was coached was last friday. Overall it was a pretty uneventful session. I got into one spot with AK suited where i honestly thought it was a fold, by my gut but went with it anyways, which in the long run will be fine and I ran into KK. Last Thursday was pretty abysmal, I ran very bad and ended up down about $350 during the day, but then made a little bit back before dusk, and by evening i was only down 200$ ( and tack on another 50 for the coaching session.
Since then I've been working and gone. I spent last Friday night in Manhattan with one of my friends, for a different friends birthday party. We went to 4 different bars around the city and partied a lot. By 330 am my friend I went with and I decided to get some late night food and called a girl Caitlin to make sure it was ok to stay at her place. She said it was fine and to call her when we were done eating. 4 am we call her and no answer. I try my friend Dave, whose birthday it was and no answer from him. We stood outside of a Duane Reade till 5am when I finally got in touch with my friend and we got to his place around 530 am. Bed by 6 on a hardwood floor, and woken up by 9 am by loud roommates. Oh well. We spent Saturday relaxing then hit up some bars down near Fulton street by the seaport. It was ok but I decided I wanted to come back to CT because I had to work in the morning so I left everyone around 630 pm and drove back home. Saturday night we went out to the bar my girlfriend works at and did some drinking there and then last call at another bar.
Needless to say I've done a decent amount of drinking this past weekend and I will not be going out tonight, even though it is my day. I'll save the fun for this upcoming weekend. I'm on spring break right now and I am working alot and will be getting a good amount of poker in as well.

GRINDCORE
I haven't put in too many hands in the past few days. I took Sunday off because of m beating on Saturday. After that I decided it was time to do something to take my game to the next level. I decided I'd hire a coach to teach me something new, and I've been playing way too tight and needed some help with that.
I had my first lesson last night with Orange from 2+2. His rates are 50$ an hour which is great considering for small stakes it can get up to $250 an hour. He really loosened my game up and pointed out some cool spots where I had been missing out on value. I ended up $250 from my 300 hand session with him. Then I played some more and ended up up $433 until I ran broadway into a flush, and QQ into KK twice. So I was up $170 for the day yesterday.
I played a 500 hand session today and made $140 and got rivered in one big pot where I held TPTK against a flush draw that hit on the river. We were all in on the flop.
Playing this looser style is great at these stakes because people get frustrated and want to play back at you. Also since people's fundamentals are so flawed we get the opportunity to play more hands against weaker players. It is tough at times though because by playing looser we are also playing with more marginal hands which can put us in tricky spots sometimes. But it's been good so far. I'm also looking into having another 2+2er coach me in the future. His rates are 100$ an hour so I will probably wait a week or so and see where I'm at with my game and bankroll before I book him.

Not my standard line by any means but agains we can see the type of player he is and I do not expect him to be checking the turn back all that often. So maybe a little misplay by me, but not against his actual hand range.

Some O.K. poker
Yesterday was my worst in a long time. I started off the day on a 3.5 buy in downswing. Since I'm pretty tight that doesn't happen all that often to me. I had straights hit on me 4 times when I held big hands (AA, KK, KK with top set, and KJ with top pair). This is going to happen which is fine but then I missed out on 4 sets, 2 because I folded to a short stacks open raise because it's not profitable to call given their stack size, and 2 because the pots were 3b preflop and I couldn't call. 1 of those sets turned into quads and the other players got it all in. Also folded a KQ from the SB when I completed with an UTG limper and a very tight player from the BB raised with his AK. The loose guy UTG with 67 calls his stack off on a QQ7Q2 board and the BB just bet every street. >=0 very very frustrating but I still made the correct plays and the short term results don't matter because I made the correct long term plays. I played a session at night where I made back 200$ which helped out the cause.
Today was good. I started off by making half a buy in in about 225 hands this afternoon, but got a parking ticket in the process because my meter ran out. Damn downtown Hartford. Then I played another session after my second class tonight and I won a few big hands. I had one guy bluff shove the river with 77 on a 886 10 Q board into my AA. Then on the same table about 45 mins later I get involved in a big hand with a guy who's deep stacked and pretty bad too. Action folds to the cut off who is 24/21/5 over 800 hands and he raises. I know his range is wide and I have position on the button and decide to 3 bet him with 8s7s. The marginal player is 30/20/2 in the SB and flat calls my 3 bets. he plays very random and is overall a weak player. As I assumed the good player folded but I'm a little worried about the 3 bet cold call from the SB.
Flop (27$) 10s 9s 4c
Beautiful, open ended straight flush draw. SB checks I think and bet 21$ he calls fairly quickly and I think he has a very big hand now, an overpair at worst or AQ of spades.
Turn (69$) 6d
MONEY I have the nuts I want to protect my hand against a draw but I really think that's such a small portion of his range here and that he actually has a big hand that he is not folding. I'd expect him to play a big flush draw faster then this.
SB checks I bet 63$ he calls very quickly
River (195$) 5h
Still got the nuts and my stack isn't much compared to the pot. He checks, and I take some time before shoving my last 91$ and change which he snap calls.
Showdown Pot (376$)
SB: KK
Me: the nuts
ship it.
So I ended up up 311$ after I cleared 10$ in bonus for the day. March has been swingy with my big loss yesterday and big win today.

Solid day
My poker day started out bad. I got sucked out on with AA againts 74 that turned trips on a 345 flop 4 turn for a buy in. But I made a nice comeback and netted 166$ over 802 hands.
School however sucked. I got an exam back that I thought I did well on and ended up getting a 79 on it. Really pissed me off since I'm a National Honor student and all now. Guess I'll just have to study harder for the next one and make sure I do really well on it.
Tomorrow I have tons of studying and work to do for school so poker will be limited.

Bad start to the month
Got about 730 hands in last night, ended up down 50$. I wasn't too happy with my play in a few spots, but I got my money in very good for a loss of 150 in 2 big hands that hit the river on me. I had some real bad players at my tables but they played back at me a lot and I played very passive, which I'm very displeased about.
I'm going to try and get around 1000 hands in tonight along with a ton of laundry.
