And here we go

So I decided to start playing again now that the xmas season is over. Took some time off and did some skiing and whatever else I felt like. The time away was nice and with the reload bonus I took alot of my xmas money and deposited because who doesn't like free money. Anyway I find myself having trouble with A/K out of the blinds. Either it gets limped 4 way and I'm in the SB and I know I'm getting called by 2+ players so I was hoping what the better FR do in this spot raise then C/C or C/F a bad board? Here's the only example I ran into today. I just feel so uncomfortable with this situation any advice would be appreciated.

My knee is going to be just fine which is good news. I ran today just to see how it would feel and I didn't have any weakness or sharp pain. It's still a little sore, but I should be back to normal sometime soon. I'm also thinking of doing some volunteer work, but I'm not sure what or where yet. I was thinking big brothers big sisters. Does anyone have any experience with that or other groups that they found was a good use of their time?

So I was planning on skiing all day today at a ski hill about a half hour from where I live. I picked my season pass and was on my way. At the end of last year I spent more of my time in the terrain park hitting the 10' 15' 20' and 40' jumps. So I'm pretty comfortable in the terrain park and it's nothing new. Since this was my first time out this year I decided not to start out directly in the terrain park. After about an hour I headed that way and this is where my bad decisions begin. Usually I like to see how the landing is etc before I start going for big air which is usually a good decision, however, this was not the case today. The place I spent most of my time at last year had a real nice landings no flat areas to really clear and I anticipated this hill would be more of the same. This of course leads to my demise. I ended up hitting the 15' and to my suprize there was about 10ft of flat I had to clear to get to the landing which I soon realized I was not going to clear. I had a chance until the wind held me up and I came up about 3 feet short so I landed hard and I did something funky to my left knee. I'm really hoping I didn't blow it up since I just bought my season pass. If I did GG to all the fun stuff I like to do that requires mobility.

The bottom two are some highlights, ran into like 8 sets 3 of which were set under set. It's getting really really really old running like utter fucking shit. I'd go dig for the idiot that shoved bottom pair and it a river two pair for a little over a buyin but I don't wanna look at hands right now.

Been mass tabling 50nl FR and been up very very slightly or even mostly. Log a win here lose a buy in there. I should have logged some big wins, but I'm just lucky enough to run into constant bullshit. Top 2 into a set vs someone sitting with just over 1/2 a buy in. Flush under flush, set under set etc. Then there's this kind of shit. Eventually the cards will turn it's just frustrating logging a lot of hands to have your win rate go to shit because of hands like this.

Well this week hasn't been so kind, the last couple days in particular. They've started out real well then comes the never ending chain of flip losses vs shortie shoves, flop set under set or flush under flush, my personal favorite retard aggro monkey shoves going runner runner flush vs a flopped set. Blissful, going to take a couple days off, possible move back down to 25nl just to get some confidence back although I still feel I can easily beat this limit. Arggggggggggggggggggggg ok whine over.

Well as it says won 12 buyins over the weekend and then Monday happened. I ran into 5 sets with A's or K's ran K's into A's 2 times the list goes on. Needless to day -4 buyins fun stuff, decided to play a couple tourneys which was going well till I get ass raped by a 2 outer. Would have put in 2nd in chips, oh well sometimes you just don't run well. On the upside I'm still confident I can easily beat 50nl and I'm still comfortably rolled for it.

Today will be the second day at 50nl and it has continued to go well. Had a 5k breakeven stretch where some spew and some variance kicked my ass but overall it has been good. Logged about 12.5k hands in the last two days and actually made gold star for the first time ever. Not a big deal to most, but I'm pretty happy with it. If all continues to go well next month Platinium is def a possibility. Anyway here's a graph of 50nl so far, just DL'ed HEM so I figured I'd put the graph in.

Since lifes been pretty and I feel like I've been playing really well lately I decided to move up. So far so good up 4 buy-ins in about 1500 hands. 50NL is just as soft as 25NL so I don't really think I'll be moving back down unless I got turbo tilt monkey or I just run horrendous.
