Operation Get Better

Ok sorry for the premature posting. Went up $300 really really early, like 200 hands in or so. Kept that pace for awhile then found someone with 25% 3bet stats! What a jerk! Right? Well I ended up *calling* an allin with A3s. So dumb, but I really thought this 5bet push was like Kx or worse and he sucked. He had TT. Not fun when I hit my flush on turn and he hits his FH on river...which is totally irrevalent. Then a few hands later I find myself with A7s on button, he 3bets I just ship (go tilt go!) and he calls with AK. A on flop and I don't improve. Then I get AdKd (my image is blown at this point, running in the mid 30s vpip) and I see a 60bb stack. I raise, he 3bets, some dude flats and I made it somewhat smallish to go knowing I have to ship it in on most flops anyways. Flop comes 9d4d2c. SHIP! Easy open shove and easy call for him when he flips 44 over. Damn, he called over half his stack with 44 and was probably folding most flops.

So down about $300 just at that table and overall was up like $88. I started getting huge preflop cards on that table and got ZERO action from then on...wtf? On another table I had 66 in the sb, limped in as did UTG. BB raises to 4xbb with stats of 30/1/1. SWEET LET'S HIT A SET. Flop comes...246r...SWEET. I check, he bets, UTG folds, I smooth call. Turn 7. I check he bets I RR small to basically get our stacks in. He ships the rest with 77! Dammit! Just kidding, he had KK and I hold.

So today's total after 951 hands:
$173.75

Tomorrow I have the day "off." But really I have to study for a HUGE test. Going to maybe play but I hope I have the discipline to wait until Wed. night to play. Things are going pretty well poker wise and I feel more comfortable. I have also noticed some big mistakes on a few hands today that will be fixed in the future. That's always the good part about making mistakes. Just don't do it again.
