Super Friday

I played Super Friday last night. In my new years resolution I've decided to not play Thursday, but not drink Friday and play a few hours. I was really looking forward to this night for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's an out and out reason to gamble it up for many hours without questions from the wife. Secondly, I'd run good on Wednesday and looked forward to more of this.

Sure enough after not too long, I was up almost 1.5 BI's on Absolute. I thought about quitting, but decided to keep on playing, and finished up around 1 BI after a big call that saw me ahead on every street, but 4 outered on the river. Still nice session, and I loved how I played it.

I logged on Pokerstars intending to play a little and ses how it goes at HU, but ended up playing hours of HU cash. I can only remember 1 time where I got it in against big stacks (either I or they were shorter on all other occasions) badly, yet still managed to barely win in those big pots due to runnig bad, twice 80%+ favourite. Even so I still made a decent profit and now have had 2 good sessions in a row and am up quite a bit.

I actually feel like my thoughts on poker have really solidified and I'm very close to being able to crush the lower stakes like nobody's business. I feel like my hand ranging has mostly been a past time rather than an active endevour, even though I blog about it often. But all of the sudden, I'm hand ranging. I'm doing it almost all the time right now, which is so weird as even 2 weeks ago, I almost never did it. Just one night I started doing it, lol. So looking forward to what the next 3 months have to bring, as I really feel like it's all coming together right now.
