so life has been going pretty smooth it seems like after getting here it took about 5 or 6 days to find the apartment that i wanted and its about 10 minutes away from the only casino that spreads a 3/5 nl game with a full buyin of 500. well its not true nl. they have a state law in washington saying that the max you can only bet is 500 at a time so they call it "spread limit" meaning you can bet anywhere from 5-500. so it kinda limits your play if your super deep but i havnt seen any instances yet but more on that later. so after finding my apartment i moved in a couple days later and it took me a few hours to do that and then got everything setup. a couple days ago i baught i new black leather couch that ill pick up next week and then im going to by a new flat screen tv and things will be all put together in my place. i also started working out again last week and i think ill keep a routine of 4-5 days a week. i went and talked to my real job a few days ago as well and it looks really slow there so theres a possibility i might be playing poker for the whole winter but if things were to start getting busy there i think it will be in a few months so i should be able to put in some poker time. other than that things have been going smooth so far. in the life section.
so my dating life has been up and down. when i first got here i met two girls during the day and i went on a date with both of them. one date went really good but i just didnt have the attraction for her like i thaught. the next date went alright but it turned out the girl was pretty conservative and i think it would take a lot of commitment to get into her pants and thats no bueno. i went to a night club in seattle which was fun it was a little small but it was cool i talked to a lot of girls in there and one of the sets went really good and it could have went even better if i would have made a couple of key moves but i learned from my mistakes after going home empty handed. i met this kid online at a pick up artist forum and we met up in real life he was only 19 but he still wanted to run game so i guess theres this club that they let 18 and up in from 2am-4am so we went to that hes a pretty cool kid and has got some game his self i met a girl in there and talked and danced for a while i got her number but im not going to call her cause her english was a little off and it was hard to communicate with her. its kind of a turn off whenever im trying to create attraction or say somthing that has meaning and they dont understand what im saying so i guess i just got the number for practice. after that my game fell off i didnt do any approaches for like a week and thats all it took for me to not feel comftorable doing them again. once i started playing poker as well my focused switched like 75% poker and 25% girls. im planing on trying to do more approaches during the day though and really trying to find a fuck buddy but its only going to happen if i put in the time. so thats how my pick up has been going so far.
now poker, so i started playing poker about 11 days ago and since then i have had a bit of swings getting back into the game. the first 2 days i won a total of 1500 and was like alright thats the way to return to the game then the next 3 days lost my ass for a total of almost 2800 then had a really hot day and i took home 2000, that day i had 3k sitting in front of me at my peak but like the last hour i lost 500 so i got up and left then over the last 4 days or so i was able to come out a little ahead. right now im sitting like 350 up. so pretty much break even. i think its a total of like 2500 hands or close to it yippppeeeee. so after about 10 days of playing and getting back into the grove of things i felt like i had a leak when it came to bluffing. not like the little stabs or c-bets or the small bluffs like that but the big tripple barrells for 50-80bbs to me it seems like i was winning half of them and getting called the other half. just a rough estimate. so i did a little studying and went over the type of players im playing and decided to cut that play down a lot. theres a couple of key reasons i decided to. so the player quality at the casino that i play at isnt all that great id say that 20% are actuall winning regulars, 50% losing regulars or breaking even and then the rest are just randoms. another thing is the player callibur. the winning regulars are ok and ocassionally ill run into one that will put me to the test here or there but theres not that many. so after playing in vegas i was able to compare the two. if there was a level inbetween 1/2nl and 2/5nl in vegas than thats where these players would be scaled at. they seem a little better than the average 1/2 player but not better than the vegas 2/5. that being said when i started playing full time in the winter last year grinding 1/2 i remember getting frustrated with my big bluffs as well and i remember at one point just not bluffing at all. i dont totally rmember what my ultimate stratagey was for bluffing big at those stakes but i know it wasnt with a frequent amount. thats how i feel playing at these tables, theres just not enough thinking players to be able to run those deep thaught bluffs to make it profitable. although whenever im in a spot against a player i believe can think deeply i note it and allow myself to run those big bluffs on them. so thats the only real trouble ive had so far, still kinda getting back into the swing of things after not playing for 6 months. like i said im pretty much break even as of now, i dont feel like im running super horrible but i dont feel like im running good either so im just waiting for the big upswing. i kinda gave myself a rough estimate on how much i should be able to win in a 6 month period. i decided that 15k-25k is an appropriate amount. with 15k being the amount where i have ran a little bad or didnt put in that many hours and 25k being the amount where i ran hot and put in a lot of work. i decided i should be able to make about 3k a month on average except for this month. due to me moving and the holidays coming up and me getting use to poker again. ill be happy with taking home 1500 this month. so we'll see how things go. im keeping track of all my sessions so at the end of the months ill make my own little month graph to put up. so thats it for now untill next time cosmonauts stay tuned
