December Update

So far this month ive grinded like a mofo (by my measely terms anyway). Ive managed to put in 27.5k hands in 16 days which im pretty pleased with. Profit is at a mighty $300 :P. Im quite happy how ive played, particularly this last week which is maybe why im not really tilted. Im definitely one of those people who gets tilted more by my own mistakes than coolers and bad beats which i think is slightly more healthy in an insane world.

At the weekend i played a lot of 3/6 (2k+ hands) as the games were fantastic. There was usually at least 1 fullstacked drooler and a couple of half stack droolers at each table so i thought it was too good a spot to miss. Unfortunately as you can guess things did not go so well and i think i dropped 4/5 stacks, where i did little wrong such is the nature of the rigged level 3/6 :P

Here are some of the hands:

www.pokerhand.org/?4986195 Pretty standard flip against a regular.

www.pokerhand.org/?4986198 This is one hand i probably shouldn't have got it in with when he 3bets my UTG. villian is a laggy 27/22 but has a reasonable 3bet 5%. I usually peel in these spots unless i have a specific read when not in steal positions to 4bet and call it off but i doubt its too horrible.

www.pokerhand.org/?4986202 Villian here is a 25/50 reg usually and up around 1/2 million in cash games. He was 3 betting a ton IP against me. I think 4bettting might be ok too but since i was suited i decided to just peel. Dont think i can fold what i figured was a dream turn.

www.pokerhand.org/?4986207 Villan was 38/15 drooler with a 13% fold to 3bet. I hate the fact he open shipped the turn but i dont think i can fold with the Ks, since i doubt he open shoves Nut flush on the turn. His post flop Agg freq was pretty high aswell.

www.pokerhand.org/?4986213 Tough to crack AJ of blue IMO.

www.pokerhand.org/?4986214 cooler

www.pokerhand.org/?4986216 Got to admire his preflop sizing and my table selection.

www.pokerhand.org/?4986221 Dont think i can do much here.

In the 2k hands or so i was only able to stack 1 guy with a set vs overpair, other than that i was feeding on scraps.

Any feedback on the hands will be appreciated. I tried to hyperbole the links for 45mis but i fail athe internet and the internet doesn't like me so apologies for the inconvience.

So 3/6 didnt go well to say the least but i definitely have to take a shot at those games when they are that juicy. Im hoping the games will be good closer to xmas to take some more shots and hopefully things turn around.

I only need to grind another 12k vpps to reach my $4k milestone which is <20k hands so getting volume in is no longer my primary concern. Just need to keep playing solid and finish the year on a positive.

Gl at the tables
