weekly update

Well, this week has been meh monday pulled 900 playing poor, tuesday blew 1.7k mainly cause of stupidacy 30/60 fixed limit 9 man, and yesterday pulled in 3.5k with the luck of finding a donk who wouldnt commit to losing money beat him in a 200-300-500-1k.

I am begining to work on 9 man sngs I feel these are great to boost fpps and if I can get to the point where im comfortable grinding 8+ 100+ 9 mans ill rake in fpps and possible have a shot at nova-elite next year. Recently I have tried a couple 4 mans 2-2 with a 350 profit but, definitely should of been 1.5k but, a fair ammount of suckouts. Another thing is over the next week im looking to play in some wsop circuit events at teh horsehoe in Indaina if anyone is gonna be out there feel free to hit me up (I need someone to drink with none of my friends wanan go).

I really dont have any hands off the top of my head except for 2 i posted on 2 + 2 forum. Sorry for how clustered it is not sure why I copied and pasted from 2 + 2.

My thought process was he raised everyhand I like gapped and connectors a lot so i repopped pre looking to c/bet any flop. On the flop when he called I knew he didnt have a 7 or any pair because he would of reraised easily but, he could of had a 2 pair when the turn hit i felt it was a good card. I checked confident I had the best hand or I could represent the best hand. He then bet out I felt he was a definitely on a draw it was a question if my high card was higher then his and if he was able to lay down his draw. I then elected to reraising confident i had the better hand at the time

Heres another this was agianst a fairly aggresive player he bet every A even oop. I elected to check the flop I hit the 7 so i bet out he reraise me at this point I feel he would call with a 8 so i put him on a draw or air (which i caught him numerous times on). The turn comes a 5 I feel this is a ok card but not great he fires agian and i elect to call based on the fact that he may of hit a straight but i highly doubt it then turn is a 10 this is a horrible card till he bets 840 which I think he wouldnt do if he hit a 10. He may very well had a str8 on the turn but I still elect to call becasue this looks like air more then a straight.

Staking

Currently looking for a couple more stakees if you think ur good enough to be staked please send me ur stats/background/refrences.

As for my blog I am gonna start posting some atleast once a week and maybe ill add some strategy for a change. Couple new things are ive been playing several mtts (3 1k+ wins last week)/Hu cash (limit/nl) and some 7 card stud cash games all with pretty significant sucess last 2 weeks whcih is sweet. Been on a tear in hu sngs as well this month but, just cant find myself capable of putting in much time due to school/drinking/smoking. More updates soon with some hands and why i played it that way.
