So on Sunday I played a quick 4-tabling session. At the same time I was doing some completely different stuff so I wasn't focused at all. Because of that I've made a few bad plays. Luckily I ended up down only about $10. Won't happen anymore.
YEsterday I decided that now, since I'm playing for a living for the next couple of months, I should get some guaranteed money every month, so apart from rakeback it'd be good to get some bonuses. That's why I signed up at Absolute Poker. 30% rakeback + 100% up to $750 bonus. I don't mind extra 7 buyins this month. The bad thing is that I hate the software at this room. I can't see anything clearily, even betting is somehow fucked up. But the good part is that all shorthanded tables are 200bb deep and the players are pretty bad (today I had two guys on the same table with stats like 70/10 to my right and 55/6 to my left and all of them had quite decent stacks). I noticed that it's possible to change the skins so I need to get a really plain one. I played 6 tables and I was running very mediocre and was outdrawn a few times. I had to finish quite early cause a friend of mine rang me and asked if I mind having a few beers at his place. As you know I just couldn't say no. Here are my stats from this session:
And just a few hand histories:

Talking about max value, huh? Well I think that if I played this hand less agressively he would fold the river for sure. But I was betting and raising hard and I just pushed the river into him to make it look like a total bluff and after taking 20 seconds he called. Ship it! By the way he was pretty donkish as well with stats like 38/7 and he really wanted to bust me. He was calling almost every time I raised.
When I came back from my friend's place yesterday I decided to wait till 2:45am when the new episode of PRison Break is uploaded after airing in the US. I was falling asleep every 5 minutes but I managed to wait untill almost 3am and started downloading. Today I woke up about 1pm and watched the new episode of Prison Break and Heroes (which I started downloading in the morning). Both were pretty cool and I can't wait till the next Tuesday (at least new episode of High Stakes Poker should be online tommorow).
Now I think it's time to get out of my bed, take a shower, eat sth and play some poker. Well maybe I should also do the laundry and clean my room a bit? Yeah, we'll see. Since I'm not working tommorow I think I might go to the casino today to play some cash games. I made a bet with my friend. The one that will play the most in February (in terms of hours - both online and live) will be the winner. I don't know what's the prize but that's not really important. I also want February to be my most profitable month so far (and I think it's easily doable with rakeback and $750 bonus). So let's stop wasting time and get back to playing.
