Busy

Hi y'all. Haven't posted in a while, but I haven't really been playing at all. I'm trying to focus on my final exams right now. I probably won't be playing NL 400 cash to the end of the month, but I've decided to continue with my NL 100 5k hands HU challenge. Put in about 450 hands yesterday and managed to end up +77$. I played 4 different people. First opponent was whitewash, we played a bit then got into a coinflip w/ak v 99 which I lost. I ended up valueowning myself with a thin valuebet and then he hit and run me ;) so I ended up down about 140 to him. Next opponent was a 5 tabling reg. Even though I knew he was a reg, I thought it'd be + EV to play a guy 5 tabling HU at these stakes, which I think is pretty difficult, so I turned up the aggression factor against him and managed to take 50bb off of him before he quit me. Next was a guy who was probably somewhat reasonable. I ended up losing a big pot with top two vs his straight and soon after he said he had to leave so that cost me a stack aswell. My final opponent was a guy who I'd classify as a fish, but whom I was also running well against. I was winning a lot of pots off of him, even my Q high always seemed to be good when we checked it down. I was definetly running well, but this guy was also definetly weak. He'd checkraise bottom pair and shove the turn inimproved and at the same time he'd check if he had a hand which is naturally very exploitable. After this guy was down about 3.5 stacks he declared the table was rigged and left. It's a shame cause I feel I had the moment, plus he was likely tilting so I could have taken him for even more, good for him if he can set himself a stop loss though.

I went to the cinemas the other day to watch the film I am Legend. After the film I immedeately thought it was good, but it took me about a day to actually truely process the film and now I like it even more. It's definetly worth checking out. I've found most of Smith's recent films have been good, so they're always a solid tip.

My computer will be arriving at the beginning of next week so it won't be long and I'll have my entire setup ready. My plan is to go into marathon mode for the last two days of the month to balance out the fact that I haven't been able to play.

Gotta go and continue with Spanish, talk to you later.
