Happy With A Breakeven Session
by AHMWM on 09/26/07
Tonight I arrived home at about 12:30. For the first time in several days my head felt clear and I was dyin to play some poker. I bought into 4 tables of NL10 and quickly got felted when 1010 flopped a set against my KK. I was afraid that beat for one buy-in early would really hurt my confidence. I reset myself and said....one beat no big deal...and I turned the focus on. I did make one bad call down with KK later when I had just an overpair to the board. I felt he made a bluff and I had to trust my gut....I lost 3/4 of a buy in but I don't regret calling. I'm sorry I didnt post the hand history, I just feel too lazy tonight after writing a 4 page essay. I will start to post hand histories more often so you guys can make some judgments on my style and plays.
Anyway, I battled back for an hour to be up almost one buy-in. I made some great call downs and had a few hands held up and I felt for the first time in at least a week I was playing very close to my full potential. My hands died off and I lost some blinds and a few small pots and decided the games were not as profitable any more and it was time to call it a night.
Hopefully, the homework and personal stress will stay at a minimum for a while... If it does I know that I will be back to my 9+ PTBB/100 hands win rate in no time...I am determined now more than ever to prove that I can become a feared Mid-Stakes player within the next year or two. I'd like to be rolled to 4-table NL25 by the end of the year.....guess I'll just take it one step at a time....
Time to watch Poker After Dark....This week's table is absolutely the best poker show I have watched in terms of "fun, friendly poker." Hellmuth, Laak, Sheikhan, Negreanu, Esfandiari, Matusow........Gotta Love It

I agree that the lineup seems great. I was just telling a friend that my favorite players to watch now are Sheiky, Mike the Mouth and Hellmuth. I like Antonio too. I am pretty sick of Laak. His smart-ass comments, self deprecating talk (when we know he thinks very high of himself) and his always trying to impress us with knowing the cards but most of the time and being wrong really get annoying after a while. I do look forward to following it for the remainder of the week though.Good reading your blog. Looking forward to hearing about some good scores.
