Woke up Monday and had a a normal coaching session and then a free coaching session from the bounty I put for “biggest bluff run” in the uFR-HU tourny. Oddly enough that is the first event I’ve ever put a bounty on that all my bounties have been claimed. Always fun though. Spent the rest of the day writing. I have a lot of things coming up in the next few weeks. I have a COTW, 4 Stox videos, and some personal stuff I need to be writing. O well, things are getting done.
I have also been getting to the gym more, which is feeling amazing. I’m increasing my run by 1 minute per session, so about 3minutes/week. This may not seem like a lot to a runner, but going from running for 5 minutes straight to 10minutes straight is a huge difference. Doing some arm and back, and then spend the rest of the time just hitting the racquetball around. Get a bunch of different kinds of workouts, and I feel amazing afterwards. I keep going late at night, which is helping me sleep, and my body appreciates it.
Tuesday I got woken up by my roommate who was telling me I had to come see something. I was shocked like hell to see poker tables on his monitor as he hasn’t played a hand in like 4months at least. He was giddy as hell telling me about the new RUSH poker on FTP. I won’t lie…it was like Christmas morning when I saw the game. Tables looking soft, ~300 hands/hr/table, and just the feel of 2005 Party…I put in a session later that night and it’s a whole different kind of poker. Fun as hell, but takes away from my overall skillset. O well, still soft and nice. This weekend should be fun =)
After watching the RUSH games for a bit, I finished up 2 LeakFinders that went well imo. Got to work with a very well known grinder which was cool to see what his game looked like from the other side of the glass. After that I had my 4hr database with Mpethy. Holy fuck was it awesome. Got to see some spots where I wasn’t maximizing. I will admit it is humbling. I am still torn between saying “meh, fuck it, it’s a stylistic difference and I have to take a small pass here to make a big pass there”…but I’m pretty sure the real “answer” is somewhere in the middle. I need to improve my WR with my AK/AQ (though both of those are due to my stacking off PF, lol) and JJ+, esp AA/KK. My overall WR with trash hands is way high at least, and my blind loss rate is a lil high. I think I am missing about .4 streets of value with my big hands, I also had 2 really bad stackoffs against tight regs with my overpairs, and was a little too liberal against 1/2 stackers preflop. Fairly easy things for me to fix imo, just need to get back to work and patch them up.
Today I got a late start waking up at 1p. Took an adderall and got to work prepping hands and stuff for the Tank session tonight. Was a very cool session, ran 2hrs (I really do need to start making sure they don’t go on forever, lol), and we went over facing a 3b and OOP play. Everyone seemed to enjoy it as we spent the entire time on just those two concepts, and really just going over like 15 hands. I think I might have Mpethy co-coach the next one with me and go over DB stuff and review strategic ways to patch stat leaks. Hopefully that ends up working out, as it would be a very cool session imo.
Alright, that’s enough from me tonight. Hope all is well!

Best news is the sleep.
I have been having trouble with it lately. The heat is oppressive here at the moment and I dont think I have mentally recovered from my latest BR explosion.
Sounds like everything is rocking for you.
yet to play rush myself.
of course the night i type that I’m up until 3a, lol
why did you go play 2KNL?
RUSH is a ton of fun. probably going to grind a bunch of it this weekend and then run some analysis on certain things.

BR suicide was already down 10 bis playing 2-4

BR suicide sounds like hell. Thank God I haven’t done that, or been in that mindset, for like 4 years

Do you have ADD or HDD? Or do you just take Adderall to help focus?
He just needs “just one pepsi, one more pepsi”
No adderall.
@ Anthony: Apparently ADHD. I personally think it is just ADD, but what do I know? =)
@digger: No…I need no damn pepsi

Given how unpopular and lowly ranked politicians do for trust, who was the marketing genius who thought those two moops would be good to associate their product with?
