road trip run good at graton

[unusualpete]

greetings from the beautiful bayou home.  can't wait til we're living here full time.  nice to take two weeks from grinding cards and one week from the office grind alike. didn't realize how much i'd burned the candle til i removed myself from the bay.  that said, life's responsibilities won't wait any longer.  time to head back.  

itching to return to the felt after the personal best month of live poker.   including the tournament run, profited 75 bucks an hour w 80 hours of total volume.  dreaming it's just the beginning.  why not me.  why not now.

bagged 84k for day 2. we're itm, so the worst case scenario is the 400 bi gets doubled. of course i wanna make a run, so here's hoping. blinds are 4k/8k when we return tomorrow at 11. need to double fast.

someone should coach me on how to have favored hands hold up all in pre for the tournament life. kk vs their ak, qq vs their aq, jj vs their aj and tt vs their at. you're supposed to be a 70-30 fav. feels opposite. they always seem to hit their ace. another intermediate cash. sigh.

feels like the w is comin. you just gotta have the stars align. i mean the day one table was legit tough. ultimately it was survivable and somewhat thrivable. five of us kept taking turns putting each other in the worst spots imaginable. the other four seats were a rotating cast of fish brought in for the sharks to feast on. when you go 8 of the first 9 hours versus those players you exit the day better than you were when it started. it was simultaneously difficult as hell and incredibly fun to stand firm trading blows vs those villains. it was a proving ground. day two at my stack depth was just a nash chart push/fold variance festival. day one is what i will look back on fondly.

i've never even understood why counting cards is bad
