The Lid Is Off the Basket

Old saying one of my basketball coaches would say, if someone started a game really cold missing a couple shots in a row and then finally made one. That basket would show that you could make one, and every shot from then on would be easier. Today In my mini afternoon session I knocked the lid off the basket. I won my first 75 45 today after many cashes, and near victorys. I'm getting more satisfaction out of the victory then out of being mildly up for my session.

I still have one game left on screen, this session could have been so much more profitable. Quite a few big stacks, late in sitngos that went to shit. But thats the way it goes. Still dealing with the hero syndrome, of having people want to make the most ridiculous plays against me to be a big man. My real test is to sniff out the hero's, and to avoid the nits.

Time at home is fantastic, though its becoming harder and harder to find time for sessions. Today it was short as I'm taking out my wonderful sister and her husband for supper(they just said I stink). Tomorrow, we have jamming with bands and xmas partys, followed by another day of rocking out and xmas partys. Liver don't fail me now, going to be doing my absolute best if I can get in one or 2 mini sessions over the next few.

Everything Hurts

Urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I feel like I'm back in university, drinking too much and missing assignments. Bah. On sunday I got very, very drunk. Puke outside, fall on ice, drunk. The bits I remember from the night before I was way too drunk seemed like a ton of fun. So I will say it was a success. I was incapable of movement yesterday so unfortunately, my much delayed home session has yet to come about. LAPPIN's prediction of me never coming back to poker is looking better and better. I will prove him wrong though.

I have a lunch meetup to discuss Buenos Aires, and then a dentist appointment, but after that I will be grinding as long as I physically can. We'll see how long my body can handle it, as my bad back did not take well to falling on ice. Strange that.

Sooooo about that session...

Home is where the previous engagements are. Today has filled with events foolishly quickly. Have 4 different things I'm supposed to do between 1-7 today, not including my poker session. I'm really sorry blog, I'm letting you down once again.

I've heard good things about monday's though. Everyone will be working, so I will 100% get a full session in tomorrow. I will cancel any meetup/hangout session that comes my way in the next 24 hours, and by 12 site time tomorrow I will be on my computer grinding.

Session Canceled

Oh home, so much to do, such little time. Looking like I won't have time to play today. Going for a swim, then hanging out with folks all night long. Been feeling a touch under the weather so we shall see how it goes.

Intending to do a smaller session tomorrow as one of my brothers is having a massive event at a bar in the evening. Going to find way more time to grind this upcoming week.

First Fredericton Session

In the midst of the miniest of mini sessions today. A whopping 10-12 games played. The 45s/90s were not filling at all. My head really wasn't into it either, hangovers tend to do that, but I've been playing adequately. Such little focus needed when 5 tabling compared to 12 tabling with a rush turbo in the middle of it.

Have a massage lined up for tonight, my back has been entirely messed for close to a year at this point. Really aggressively working at fixing it now though, instead of hoping it just goes away. As effective as 'hoping that it will get better on its on' sounds, it really wasn't working out. When I strengthen my back to the point that it no longer is in permanent pain, my poker sessions will drastically improve.

Adjustments I'm making in my game now. I continue to tighten up late game. I'm still looking for every opportunity to chip up, shoving a decently wide range. I'm not trying to bulldozer final tables anymore, taking icm into account and picking my spots with a discerning eye. I'll continue to refine this as I move forward in these games. Everyday I'm growing more comfortable and confident at the tables. I'm just at the beginning of my comeback but I'm feeling great. Dr Fill Good is slowly rising again.

2nd evening of a 4 night bender tonight. Going to put in a full 6-8 hour session tomorrow using my laptops trackpad while hungover. Should be veeeerrry interesting.

Shocking Lack Of Time

Gahhh, had so much hopes for getting in sessions. My time is being monopolized quickly right now but gonna do my best to get in some mini hungover sessions in the next few days. Ended up coming second in my final 75 last night so didn't do to shabbily on the day. On to the play.

Running Good, Playing Well, All While Losing Money

Killing it today, first day in a long time that my game was anywheres near what it what was when I was good at this game. This after a night of drinking and an afternoon with a lunch meetup with some quality folks. Balanced life awww ya. Now unfortunately I am still down 400ish with all this. I cashed more times today then any other day by a significant amount I'm guessing... But they were all min cashes, so depressing. I still have 3 on screen though, with one sexy 75 game, so an hour from now I might be up.

I feel I'm reigning in my aggression in good spots (except for 3 barrel bluffing against a set deep in an mtt). Ducking and weaving amongst the bad player land mines strewn throughout full tilts battlefield. People continue to pay me off ridiculously light, so being a monkey certainly does pay.

Real life news, doesn't look like I'll be able to get a session in tomorrow as I'm making the 4 hour trip to go to my hometown. Getting to see my adorable nieces play. I'll be harsh but fair in my review I assure you. After which point its a night of true drinking, none of that sissy casually drinking with friends while at a restaurant. Going to rock out and karate chop like a champ. Friday is going to be a rough session...
