cashed out my ap roll because somehow i run like complete shit there (some 30 bi below ev over like 40k hands) and started from scratch at stars. had $18 in my roll, now up over $200 and playing 10nl. trying to think a lot more and generally just improve my game. watching a lot of aejones, ansky, and galfond videos because i feel they describe their thought processes very clearly and i guess i just look up to them more than other instructors for whatever reason. was 12-16 tabling 5nl and jumped down to 4 tables when i got to 10nl and it moves a lot slower but this way i can obviously concentrate better on individual hands. one hand i'm pretty proud of from a session i just played:

duno if that's a brag or whatever but since i'm posting a 10nl blog i had to throw it there because it's definitely my favorite hand since i got back to stars. either way i'm having a blast with poker for the first time in a long time and i hope everyone else is doing the same. for january i made roughly $200 between 2nl and 5nl and i'm looking to keep it up and get back to 25nl, which i feel is the first limit where you can make "decent" money (considering i make $10/hour at my job).

GL at the tables lp

leeann and i salute you for reading!

Sick come back. On that hand though, after betting flop, I'd recommend check calling turn because you're still ahead of everything that you were ahead of on the flop and behind of everything that you were behind. Plus the pot wont escalate as high, which makes snapping off bluffs with AK easier on the river. I could be wrong but just a thought though. Gj though, nice call.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds that Darkness is always there first, waiting for it.
