2nd session

I decided to play another session after I hung out with Lauren and finished grocery shopping. I put in another 620 hands, bringing me to a grand total of 840 hands. I managed to finish the session at +$178 but it was a very swingy session. Here is the updated graph:


A big leak of mine today was trying to bluff too much. I have been having some success with my multi-street bluffs, but today I tried it way too often. The spots were still decent but I can't assume I can always push people off a hand or they will believe what I'm representing and make a big laydown. So I'm going to work on that in the next few sessions. I did take a few beats at critical times in the session but then I had a nice two-outer (I wasn't all in though so not a big suck out) right at the end to cap off the night. Here are some hands:

Ouch
I had been getting beat and was maybe slightly tilting a little before this, but then I composed myself and was on a nice run when this happened. It killed some of my momentum. This was a nice standard cooler that I was suppose to win but didn't work out that way.

Got there
This was one of my multi-street bluffs that actually worked, even though I did get there. The river card is meaningless as I'm betting the same on basically any card, but it does make you feel better when he time banks. It was pretty easy to tell he was on a medium pair. I didn't get any great scare cards so this one was a little more risky, but I was confident about his hand and I really thought I could get him to fold. Now I only wish he would've called.

Whew
I didn't realize this pot was 3-way when I flat called, and I might have raised if I did know, but I was a little suspicious of his lead out. When he bet the turn, I really thought he had a set as he should have slowed down with any weaker hand, but I just called because I didn't want to dissuade him from betting the river if I was wrong. I got semi-lucky but I'm never folding my hand here as I am ahead sooooo often.

I had my first day of classes at school today and it was pretty good. I managed to attend all three and the only hiccup was going to handball (which I thought Josh and I signed up for) and then finding out we actually signed up for a nutrition class with quizzes and other graded material. The class still seems pretty easy so I am going to keep it, but next semester I plan on taking one of the martial arts gym classes. It has been nice to be able to see Lauren everyday up here at school. Her apartment is a little further away this year, but the weather is so nice and her apartment is much nicer than last year that I really don't mind the walk. She also keeps me grounded and has been a big help in me sticking to my resolution of not being wasteful, so thanks babe! I don't have any classes tomorrow, so I am going to rearrange my room furniture, write down all of my assignments, and of course, play a bunch of poker and hopefully win lots of money...
