This is mostly from 100NL with a little 200NL sprinkled in towards the end. 12.33BB/100! I’m hoping this luck follows through into February, I’ll also be forcing myself to play at least 10k hands. Then by March I may be making appearances in some higher limit games…one decent month and I’m getting waaay ahead of myself I know. :p

Here is a hand I played a few days ago against an uber nit, guys like that can’t understand my full ring stats of 21/16 and as a result he plays like an absolute turkey against me. Thank you for the money sir. Well…maybe I’m the turkey…let me know what you think.

Like I said this guy is an uber nit, but during this session it looked like he had just read a book and was very aggressive on the button and SB in unopened pots. I thought I could take it down PF against most of his range, it just so happened that he had a good hand. Same thinking on the flop, I’m taking it down soooo much here and I’m surprised he did call with the JJ here. But this guy is a fish out of water post flop, I don’t care if I’m OOP with an inferior hand I’m going to have the edge. I decide to check the turn, and now he’s actually hit his miracle card so what does he do? He bets $2! I told you he was a fish out of water. When the river comes I don’t think he has a clue what I have and couldn’t put me on a flush. I think he could have 77, 44, AJ, AK, AQ, AT. I could check shove but that looks strong plus I don’t think he’s going to bet anything other than 77 or 44, however a shove here looks ultra bluffy and I’m hoping to get looked up by the bottom part of his range. It works out good for me, I was shocked he had JJ but I’m at least a little happy with how I played the hand, the little bit of luck was nice too.

#1. 6BB/100 @50NL for the next four months
I quickly got bored at playing 50NL and thought I could easily move up a level and still win at a very good rate. I only ended up playing 2k hands at 50NL then rattled off 57k @100NL.

I was able to put up a decent 3.49 BB/100 over those four months, but came way short of 6BB. However 3.49BB at 100NL is really 6.98BB/100 at 50NL, so moneywise I got there, yeah I know it isn’t the same.

#2. Log at least 40k hands in the next four months

CHECK!

#3. Become Mrs. DiCaprio

Failed horribly, I don’t think I even watched a Leo movie during that time.

In other news…what happened to Sarai? LOL

For those of you that have me on Twitter you may already know I signed up for Aced Poker. Now I know the traffic isn’t too great and there isn’t any help from a heads up display but I thought the games looked really soft when I watched them last weekend. I signed up (”WillaDeVille” come say hi :p) and haven’t logged too many hands but I am up…only $50 but I’m up!!! The competition is definitely on the week side but nowhere near as juicy as what I remembered it was last weekend. So when Saturday rolls around I’m going to try to sit at every 100NL and 200NL game I can, seriously it was like free money from what I saw.

In other news I have fur in my cap…the kid picture saying pussy makes me giggle every time.

I think he was Aussie, do they not know what that means down there? Either way he didn’t like that I was raising a lot, he also didn’t like that I was taking his piddly little stack $1 at a time. Sorry sir but 52/1’s don’t win.

I’m already slacking on my goals, I’ve only logged just over 2k hands this week, and what might be worse is that I’m up a whopping $11.

I’m confident I can accomplish at least two of these goals, I don’t know if four months is enough time to make Leo fall in love and marry me, but I can try can’t I?

I’ll be making posts that will track my progress, and of course I’ll mix in some hand histories and random thoughts. See you on the virtual felt!
