I'm back in school after a two year hiatus, doing a one year base course of natural science. It consists of math, biology, chemistry and physics. The goal is to study and become a biologist so I can push for a legalization of marijuana in Sweden. There's no one in the swedish media pushing for it and who better than a biologist, right?
It's sort of nice to really do something instead of just playing poker, being with friends, smoking weed and stuff like that whenever i want to. School itself isn't bad, but it makes everything that's not related to school ten times better, you need the sour to appreciate the sweet. The worst thing is that I haven't had any time to play poker so far, I could've made time but I've instead chosen to just relax or study on my free time instead playing poker and studying. A good choice imo since it makes my life alot better.
I've been trying some HU since don't have much time because of school, I've played like 2-3h. My opponents so far has been really bad and easy to exploit.. hopefully most players on nl50 hu are :D. I'm up about $20 but I haven't even played 500 hands.
Today was the first day in 2 weeks I played some 6max, my plan was to play nl100 but there weren't too many really juicy tables so i took a look at nl200 which had alot of juicy tables  . I opened up a mix of nl100 and 200 tables which soon became 4 nl200 tables. The games were much softer than nl100 on weekdays, i ran good overall and was lucky with picking up TPGK hands vs. the right opponents, made some semi big bluffs which all worked and I was lucky with the flop textures on a lot of flops which enabled me to take down alot of pots with a cbet.
I did however lose the biggest pot I have ever played:

He was playing 24/14/7 after 50 hands and had been playing really fast postflop, I thought he'd try to get it in on the flop with TPTK or any draw so I was pretty happy to get it in. My read on his range was right but unfortunately I didn't win this one. Still ended the day +300 after 600 hands so I'm still very happy with the result, and how i played.
