Happy With A Breakeven Session

By AHMWM on 09/26/2007 read AHMWM's complete blog
Tonight I arrived home at about 12:30. For the first time in several days my head felt clear and I was dyin to play some poker.

I bought into 4 tables of NL10 and quickly got felted when 1010 flopped a set against my KK. I was afraid that beat for one buy-in early would really hurt my confidence. I reset myself and said....one beat no big deal...and I turned the focus on. I did make one bad call down with KK later when I had just an overpair to the board. I felt he made a bluff and I had to trust my gut....I lost 3/4 of a buy in but I don't regret calling. I'm sorry I didnt post the hand history, I just feel too lazy tonight after writing a 4 page essay. I will start to post hand histories more often so you guys can make some judgments on my style and plays.

Anyway, I battled back for an hour to be up almost one buy-in. I made some great call downs and had a few hands held up and I felt for the first time in at least a week I was playing very close to my full potential. My hands died off and I lost some blinds and a few small pots and decided the games were not as profitable any more and it was time to call it a night.

Hopefully, the homework and personal stress will stay at a minimum for a while... If it does I know that I will be back to my 9+ PTBB/100 hands win rate in no time...I am determined now more than ever to prove that I can become a feared Mid-Stakes player within the next year or two. I'd like to be rolled to 4-table NL25 by the end of the year.....guess I'll just take it one step at a time....

Time to watch Poker After Dark....This week's table is absolutely the best poker show I have watched in terms of "fun, friendly poker." Hellmuth, Laak, Sheikhan, Negreanu, Esfandiari, Matusow........Gotta Love It
