Cool week this week, went to the gym on Tuesday and training on Wednesday. I played alright, Wednesdays bball is mostly scrimmage. Was lucky for the random teampicking for me to end up on a fully pro team vs a mix of pros and randomers who want a game. Only 2 losses at the start of the session then wins till the very end. Fitness has greatly improved thanks to forcing myself onto the treadmill for 15 min each gym session. Ive actually gained weight which is odd since Ive alot to shed, im 17 1/2 st.

ok so onto the poker, well the main reaosn im blogging is because I took a shot at 400nl. Games on FTP had highish vpip so I said why not.

Heres some fun hands, firstly my god awful call on river here. This is plain awful and I closed my eyes and called. Std fold on river. Was up like 4100 at that point to put me down $300.

So so sweet, so my first shot at 400nl netted me +$843 yay. plus i got in like 1k hands so the RB will be a nice piece too. 400nl didnt seem to play much diff to 200nl, there were some more 4 betting than usually and I shied away from some preflop aggro spots but overall I feel really good.

Wont be playing till Sunday at the earliest since Ive a work social and gf's nieces bday on Saturday. oh well, i think ill be happy with how things are till then lol.

Thx for readin this insanely long post!!!
