goodbye to luka :(.

While my time with Luka was short, I believe in the grand scheme of things it will have a profound effect on the direction of my life. Not only did some decisions become clear, but I was also able to discover "FluxStables," which thus far has been a great experience and I see no reason why it will not become even better.

I have cut my tables to three while trying to get a feel for 200, I do believe this is helping me as even when I zone a bit I am more focused than when I am zoning with four tables. This weekend I really had no success with my 4bets :(, but ran well overall and am starting to feel comfortable in the game.

It is sad to leave Luka, he has become a real good friend of mine and I know he is going to have great success as he continues to develop as a poker player.

While I am on the train / bus I hope to delve into some poker thinking and hopefully come up with some more +ev spots that are there for the taking.

Weekend results !



If you can catch me online in the next few days shoot me a message, I will probably be bored to death on the train :).

late night games are nice.

Soooo we decided to play another session around 1. I was throughly impressed with how many fish were on ! also how few regs were on, though there were a lot of the 9%3b types on, don't mind them too much though.

Anyways I thought this hand was interesting, vs a reg 13/9 150bb deep. My thoughts were that the added bluff equity of the 11 diamonds would make this +ev. Wondering if I could get any thoughts on whether or not most would c/f their AA KK when the diamond hits when I am so diamond heavy.

Across the USA, up the ladder !

For a first post, this is probably going to be pretty lame. I'm assuming if you're here you know who I am, so I will spare the incredibly boring details.

Today was the first session of what will be my conquest of 200FR-rush. In recent stints I have done OK, but am hoping to truly acclimate this time. The game seemed to be pretty good today, a good amount of fish were on. I am hoping soon I will get a better feel for the leveling / reg relationships that will help me really take off.

Some fun was had right off the bat, as i continue my glorious EV run of the last 145k hands:

Overall today ended on a good note, but losing some big ones early was quite frustrating.

Good luck all !
