My coach thinks I should focus on the Borgata $10/$20 OE game rather than playing Stud hi...

This weekend I didn't go to AC and I played in local $1/$2 games that were the softest ever...obviously...

Skype....

I'm sort of a novice at stud but I think I can beat 10-20 right now, I'd like to move up to 20-40 or 40-80 games with this.

I'm getting coaching from a world-class player in mixed games, starting this week. We'll be doing a stud hi session on Tuesday, will report back.

yeah I have some total goals in terms of bankroll and life roll that I want to reach...

I'd like to get in ~1,000 hours of live cash this year and assess things after that.

I'm planning on moving to Las Vegas to do this. It's extremely cheap to live in Vegas. Most of the pitfalls that sink aspiring pros shouldn't be a problem:

A. I don't drink and don't do drugs.
B....

yep yep

I'm still in the process of talking to everyone I know in poker who is serious about it. There are a lot of things to consider. It always seems to me that the local grinders, $2-$5 regs at...

So I was tempted to start a new thread but that would mean Daven would have stuff to do here. ;)

Anyway, big news: I am making long-term plans to go mostly pro by next summer (2016)

I've put a...

Talked to Griffey and he thinks the 99 hand is really bad, I think it's ok. I doubt she has any real made hands, I think she is never limping most hands that hit this board hard except QT and MAYBE...

Last hand of weekend

UTG and UTG+1 limp


I am UTG+2 with :ac: :qh:
and make it $30
everyone folds and limpers call

hey couple of interesting hands I think

1. QQ vs. UTG raise and 3-bet

we had a round of straddles going

I'm in the straddle
UTG is new player and makes it $55
1 fold, tight shortstacking...

Fish on a heater

Played a $120 in the Deepstacks Challenge at Borgata, 388 entrants, made final table and we chopped it at 5 for $4,600.

also played cash at the Borgata for...

I guess I have kind of buried the lead here, kind of forgot to mention these things since I've written about it in so many other places.

but yeah I've had a fun year so far.

In a PLO tourney, I...

Good player opens in EP to $15...this is his normal sizing at 2/5 as he likes to open a lot of hands.

I flatted :qs: :js: OTB and everyone else folds

flop ($32) :qc: :qd: :2c:
He bets $25 and...

So I had my best Borgata trip ever.

Finished 2nd in a $340 buying tournament, 203 runners. We got to 3-handed and made a deal, I took 2nd and $9,745, really $9,445 because I had to give $300 to...

I felt like given action, he will check back AK/AA a lot on the turn. Preflop he'd fold a ton of his AK/JJ- hands to a 4-bet, we don't have any history of messing around with each other preflop,...

Feel bad I haven't posted anything here.

I've got a new app called Poker Journal that allows you to record sessions,and that was a big part of my motivation for keeping a blog last year. I pretty...

Well I made my first trip of the year to Borgata. Just played $1/$2, played 41 hours and won $1650.

I post some more thoughts later, but tbh I never had a tough decision all weekend.
