So I had a pretty decent day and made over $500. I got up pretty late, watched an episode of Rome, ate breakfast etc etc and played some poker. I got outdraw a couple of times and had one awful split pot but I still managed to win 3,5 buyins. Also my flop AF is going down so it's good news. Thanks to it I feel like I've got more control over my game, although I find myself in some tricky spots when I check behind or just call with some hands on the flop. In the evening I was supposed to have a private lesson with Andrew from CR (I won it long time ago). Everything seemed to be set up and ready, he could see my desktop, but Skype wasn't working properly and we were getting disconnected all the time. We tried ventrillo but again - sth was wrong and I couldn't hear his voice. We decided to postpone the lesson and hopefully we'll manage to do it tommorow. I think I can benefit a lot from this lesson as he'll be able to find some major leaks that I probably still have. I decided to play some headsup on UB as I didn't feel like starting a 6max session on Party. I opened 2 NL50 HU tables on UB and after an hour or so I was up $180. Had some interesting hands, made loads of good reads, maybe just one bad call for 40bb but overal I was very happy w/ my play.

Tommorow I've got to finally start preparing for my IELTS exam (yeah I know I said I'd start doing it today but there's always a good excuse to not do it lol) but I'm still going to play loads of poker every day. Also next week my friends are coming back to Manchester from their holidays so I'll probably go out a few times, spend too much money, get drunk as hell and won't remember anything from these nights. Standard.

And here are my stats from today and some hand histories:

1. Would like to hear some comments on this hand.

I dunno. Kinda tough spot. I felt like it's better to fold cause I have to put over $30 to get my $9.5 back. What you think guys?

Meh, I always pick up wrong spots for this move. Should've given up when he minraised and I'd save like $70. Villain was pretty aggro so I that that he's making this play with a wide range, most of which he'd fold to a 3bet. As played should I just check/fold on turn?

4. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/172223
Villain was 35/4/3.5 after 2k hands or so. I don't know him well though, I only had a stat on him that he minraised and min4bet trips on turn in unraised pot. Was kind of worried about K6 and 66 but I thought that his range is wider here (he was quite agressive postflop) and he could easily call w/ AK preflop without 3betting cause his PFR is so small (AA was also a possibility). What you think guys? Should I have been more careful since I had this note on him? Ship it anyway.

5. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/172225
Likey? Or should I play it differently? Villain was 42/14/1.5 after 150 hands.

6. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/172226
I love minraising.

7. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/172227
In this hand villain was a 3betting addict and his stats were 30/26/10 after 100 hands. I had a good image so I thought there's a good chance that my play will work. Likey?

8. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/172228
That was a pretty weird spot for me. Villain was 32/7.6/1.25. Out of nowhere he openraised to 7bb (he didn't raise like this before) and I had no idea what to think about it. I didn't want to 3bet cause this way I'd put like $22 preflop and then like $30 postflop as a c-bet so I just smooth called on the button. Meh I really don't like this hand. Should I've just checked behind on turn? On the river I don't think I can beat anything except for other AK. All comments appreciated.

9. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/172232
Ugly split. Villain was a 47/13/3.5 retard.

10. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/172234
This was like 3rd or 4th time when I 3bet villain but he 4bet me for the first time so I was a bit worried. His stats were 46/14/1 after like 50 hands. I was even more worried when he checked this flop. I thought about betting but he'd prolly call w/ KK and QQ anyway. Turn seemed to be a miracle card but it only made me lose my whole stack. I was like 90% sure that he's got aces but still I couldn't fold it. And I think I wouldn't fold them now as well. Thoughts?

11. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/172239
Not sure if my play was ok. What you think? Villain was 38/6/2.17 after 80 hands and he instacalled the flop.

12. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/172241
Standard.

Thanks.

Ok, time to watch last episode of Rome season 1 and download season 2. Any other tv series you can recommend? I've already watched Prison Break, Heroes, Dexter, Rome and Coupling (UK).
