    Stake Update Blog


    $29,193

    Probably would have been a better idea to stay in bed as we gave a little back tonight. I knew it was going to be a bad night when I had 2 10-20 6 max games going and guy joins me at other table HU and just goes bezerk for 15 hands and spikes nearly every turn and river and wins about 13 of them. Quick $500 hole then I get on the table with mega fish and boom get dealt AA, 4 way cap preflop. J25 flop or something similar and we cap, turn is 9 we get 3 or 4 bets and then a 5 hits the river and he shows up with q5 off for a pretty good sized pot

    When I was dealt pairs (very rarely) like 10 10 and JJ I was usually up against either a bigger pair or the q would flop and they would have that card. Finally as the games die out a bit I said to myself the next lost showdown and I quit. Get dealt QJss OTB vs J9 and board runs something like J4279 So I am waiting for my button and I get dealt AK I raise they 3 bet then they cap, 4 way or 5 way pot. I cr on K45 we get 4 bets I get off the hand on the turn after a lot of action and I was up against 44 and 36 and (and prob AA but not sure cause he folded I think) and 36ss makes RR flush after flopping straight draw. NH buddy :-) Hope you got HU4rolz vs 44!!!

    At same time I had fish HU @ 4-8 and had him all in and was up 40 BB, he hit his hand on the flop and I missed a great suckout opportunity and not long after that he made about 6 million flushes (no joke 6 million) and he got even and I called it a night. I could sit here and write bad beat stories which I actually find a bit therapeutic sometimes but you get the picture. I probably handed out 2 or 3 beats all night and was on the receiving end of a lot. One of them I won a decent pot when I had 10 10 on 108788 vs KK. Would like 10 of those tomorrow please!!! But again 60 BB isnt much in a 10-20 game 3 and 4 tabling is pretty standard.

    We are +$6,193 after a little more than a month on this stake which is great. Ideally I would like to be up about $18,000 minimum when this thing ends and we are on pace for that. I did receive a cashout today for $3,000 so that is positive and have more cashouts in transit. Will update the progress of these as we go.

    As you all know from my updates I have posted I have had a couple of really busy busy weeks but it hasn't slowed me down one bit. Over the past few weeks I have had 2 live fantasy football drafts (one very long day) and had to prepare and launch my podcast which have taken up a lot of my time. I also am commish of another league so a lot of time was sunk into that as well. Now that all of these leagues are drafted they pretty much just run themselves so I won't have to sink multiple hours into them anymore.

    My schedule became very busy about 2 weeks ago today. I had just finished getting all of the radio software setup for my PC and had to prepare my podcast which I had 0 experience in running. I took care of all of that and ran my podcast which went well. 3 days later on a Saturday I took a 2 day trip to the mountains. It was a good time to relax and clear my head for a couple of days and I woke up around 6 AM that Monday and I got back home around noon and proceeded straight to a live draft. After the draft I head home and when I get in and my website partners were 24 hours into a 50 hour podcast for charity. I started my grind and after a few hours I hopped on air to give them some relief. After a few hours of being on air I ran my podcast on the show and as my partners were lacking sleep I was now up for 27 hours myself! I got some good rest after that and then woke up and did my last draft which was online. That went smooth and then I was back to a normal schedule for last week and heading into this week only yesterday I woke up @ 6 PM and I needed to change that. So I stayed up for a while playing poker and then took a 2 hr power nap and decided I was going to stay up all day today and try and fix my schedule so I am waking early in the day again.

    So last night I said fuck it, I am doing everything I have to do over the next 2 weeks in the next xx hours. I started by scrubbing my bathroom down, toilet, tub windexed mirrors etc... I then moved onto laundry, washing all clothes, bedspread sheets etc.. and vacuuming and cleaning my Cpap machine. I then grinded until early this morning and during dead time I got some affiliate work done as well as prepared for my podcast which will run later today. I then I went to the lab to have routine bloodwork done for an upcoming physical. Then I moved on to the tire place and had a new tire put on my car and had my tires rotated. After that I went and had my car inspected. I then had to go to the post office to pick up some mail that was waiting for me. After that I went and washed my car and had it cleaned out. I followed that by doing all of my grocery shopping and then went to Chipotle for some lunch. I got back home around 4 pm and finished a few other things I had to online. I was tired as fuck and fell asleep. I woke up after 2 hrs and probably should have just went back to sleep but I checked the tables. Games were running and I lost. I now sit here writing this blog!

    So basically just about every little thing I had on my "to do " list is done and the next 2 months should remain very clear to grind. Here is how I am going to proceed with the stake over the next few days and probably going forward. I have been grinding in good cash 6 max and ring games. I am going to cut that down and only play in top tier top top bomb games at least over the next few days and will play longer sessions focusing more on shorthanded and heads up games where I feel I have my greatest edge. Volume wise may slow (hand wise) just a tad but the longer sessions and more heads up action over those long sessions will more than make up for everything. I am going into pure China lockdown mode and plan on beasting up hard core at the tables. I am going to add in 50 to 100 HU limit sngos and should crush them if we get any takers. I have sat them plenty and have yet to get any action. I also plan on adding one more site as well so we can cover more tables. So that's it. All I really have to do for the rest of the week is a podcast for 2 hrs and grind grind grind. Couple of other things I need to do is eat healthier, get 1 hr of exercise every day and that will come with a balanced improved sleep schedule. Time for war boys!

    Lost a tiny bit yesterday, lost a tiny bit today. Had 15 outs twice at least 4 times today and whiffed all of them.

    Going to workout now, then have to make a trip to hospital to visit family member. Will start play today around 2PM and will be playing all day. Ran my podcast last night and have a free schedule till Saturday so I will be grinding very very very hard this week.

    I am motivated, focused and determined to bring in some good results

    lost a bit more yesterday afternoon with very little action, been grinding for a couple hours, will update in a bit when I take a break. Day action has sucked so I am going to start playing nights, like 8 PM to 5 am would be ideal. But for now just going to take it day by day and get in as much play as possible
