So, I definitely have not updated in awhile so I figured I might as well now since i'm bored and don't want to study for this damn exam. Last month I think I barely played any poker due to school and fraternity obligations. So far this semester is going pretty well, and I am hoping to pull a 3.5. Next semester is gonna be a bitch though since I have taken most of my electives. I will be loading up on 18 credit hours of my major courses.

The fraternity has been so-so. I almost quit due to some exaggerated and false drug accusations. I mean, i'm not gonna lie, I do a good amount of drugs on a regular basis, but I have never let it interfere with my priorities. I am not sure if these claims were made out of jealousy or what. Ultimately the situation ended up being resolved and all is well now.

I have an interview tomorrow for Executive Director of Scholarship for IFC(Inter-Fraternal Council). I am really hoping to get this position since it is quite similar to my current fraternity executive board position. I think I might even get my own office on campus which would be sick as hell. I am hoping I get the opportunity to do some really cool things and improve the overall academics of campus by helping each greek organizations Director of Academic Affairs improve their current programs by holding round table meetings with all of them and finding what works and what doesnt. I also want to get some academic sponsorships through local businesses to give the greek community incentives to do well. Overall I think this will be a great experience, and I am hoping to have a successful year in this position to help me run for president of IFC(Inter-Fraternal Council) next year.

Ok, now on to poker! So, like I said, I barely played any poker last month. Over the past 2 months I have been killing 50NLHE/50PLHE for ~16ptbb. Today I finally upgraded my HEM and took my first shot at 100NL. Luckily, I ran well and my soul reading skills were pretty much spot on. Ill post the major hands/cool hands from the session. The goofy/crazy looking ones were 100% read/feel based.

calling just felt right vs this donk

Expected his pf calling range to be tighter since he was 18/15 solid and I had been playing fairly nitty on that particular table. In hindsight my turn bet-sizing was bad, but I figured the only card I might be afraid of was a T so I went with the gay-bet to hopefully induce a bluff or a bad call and still make him feel somewhat committed on the river.

I was kinda lost on the river here. Villain was pretty bad from what I had seen. Our only prior encounter was when he limped pf, a regular iso-raised, I 3-bet, he called the 3-bet and the regular folded. I cb 842ss flop and he folded. In this hand, I kinda wanted to v-bet the river small to induce a light call, but didnt think I could call a shove. I also thought c/c was a bit too weak. Wasn't sure what the best play here was, thoughts?

Finally, my sweet graph from the session.
