Give a man a fish

Been a while.

Last week my girlfriend had surgery on her foot. It was minor but she couldnt walk much so I spent the weekend playing nurse. She is doing fine now.

So my goals for march are falling into place. I started off the month with a wonderful 10bi down swing and have since got it back (plus a little). I have been playing really well recently. Ran super bad during the first 2/3 of my hands this month though.

Monday night someone sat at my table to play. He leaves about 3 hands later and I get a skype message from my coach saying the guy that sat is another student of his who he is sweating at the time. I told him we could play for a little while if he wanted.

I wound up playing the most interesting (and informative) match of my short HU career. My coach is a 200nl reg, think he is taking shots at 400nl now and he was sweating the guy I was playing at the time.

After 1.5 hours of the hardest competition I have ever played against I was up 3.5 bi. I gave the 20 min warning and proceeded to loose 4 bis KJ<Q9 on JT5r AI on flop 150bb deep. And I c/shoved turn w/ 4s 7s on 8c 4c 2s 3s against 33 200bb deep (3b pot). My coach and I both think this was the best possible play given game flow in both hands so Im not upset with either. Well we agree that b/c flop then shove turn would be a better line on the KJ hand.

Actually I lost $20 that session. The other guy lost $25. So in about 600 hands at 50nl HU there was almost a buy in of rake. So they are raking about 7-8ptbb/100.

I recorded the session so I could review it with my coach and I learned a lot about my game (and so did my coach). I am now extreemly confident that I can at worst hold my own against some pretty good players. He actually made the comment that I could probably beat a lot of the 200nl regs if I had the bankroll as long as Im playing my A-game.

Softball update.
We suck. I suck. 1-3 record now. We have been playing like utter shit.
Last game we lost 17 to 13. We hit 7 home runs and only scored 13 f-ing runs. It was disgusting. Two of our best women hitters went 0-3 in the game. I went 1 for 2. Oh my one hit was a wonderful swinging bunt that I outran to first. I suddenly suck so bad at hitting now and have no idea what is wrong. Seriously I hope someone passes this on to Bosoxx I could really use some batting lessons lol.

Hey at least our defense did a little better.

We have another game tomorrow at 9pm. Cant wait to see how we lose this game. So far it was defense sucked, defense sucked, we played great, offense sucked.
