With my new found ability to 12 table, I decided to play 5.2k hands today. This equates to about 6.3 hours of poker. I played about 3 sessions and pretended like i was doing it for a job finally. The tables all day were surprising soft. For whatever reason, not many regulars decide to play on sundays. I was basically in the poker zone. I made a few mistakes early, like donking $450 off to Morris Chestnut. Goddamnit. If any of you have ever played against this guy, he runs roughly 12/2/2. I decide to 3-bet him pre- with QQ. Retarded. If he opened he’s got AA or KK. Then i decide to call his raise allin for $300 more on the flop of JT7.

Poor play be me. He obviously shows up with AA and i’m immediately punch myself. I made a few mistakes like that, but i think that was the worst mistake I made all day. I’ll post a few notable hands from the day now.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2630194-This is so stupid. Like i said up there, he’s a total nit. Also this is the real morris chestnut from boyz in the hood. Celebrities getting my money, grrrrr.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2630200-Standard. This guy was playing pretty sporatic, and i was honestly expecting him to showup with worse than AK here.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2630206-Here’s a pretty big mistake i think. This is same villain as above. He’s been playing some really bizarre/aggro lines. I read him for 77 here after his river play. I decide to go for the kill in the deep stack pot. This was a mistake imo. I should have bet $222 and i think i incude a check-raise allin and at least get $222 more. I give him a decent shot to fold here, as all he beats is a complete bluff by my river bet. Whoops. It did kinda tilt him tho, but still i think it was more +EV to make a smaller bet. If you have an opinions on this one, let me know via comment.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?2630238-This hand is a pretty good example of a player who has AA or is bluffing hard with a weaker hand. This is why I never fold kings at 400nl. His line screams AA, however i think if i had put pressure on at any point in the hand, I probably lose him. I just wait him out and he busts himself.

Here’s my graph from the day… can you say WEEEEEEEEEEEE? That’s a rollercoaster ride right there boys and girls…

And here’s to hoping my car doesn’t get broken into tonight.
