    My last couple of Months

    What's going on in real life

    Hey strangers I am back on here again to give you a quick summary of recent events in my life since my bankroll collapse in November (checkout the last couple of posts for reference). I was stressing out if I was going to change my life with my job by moving to the Dallas area but the news that I finally found out didn't sound to promising so that is on hold. I just bought a car that I am very happy about (for those who know me this is a big deal for me to get rid of my car).

    My poker playing Lately

    Or not much playing going on but on my trip to Southern Oregon during my last days off. I did end up going to the casino played some 3/6 at Canyonville off I5 on your way to Grants Pass. I was impressed with the poker room for a place in the middle of nowhere the tables were nice and a chill setting. I ended making a very nice score with it was a 6 way pot with a raise preflop. I ended up flopping bottom pair and the nut flush draw the betting was raised twice and all 6 people were still in to the turn. The turn was a but the funny thing was even hitting the best card possible I didn't end up raising the turn cause I wanted to disguise my hand to the river. It worked I raised the river and 4 people called and I won a MEGA POT!!! (for that game at least) I cashed out up 105.

    Tonight

    With dealing buying a car and finding out what repairs I need to do then try to sell my shit box car you have alot on your mind. But I wanted to take a break from that and I was off from my graveyard job for the evening so I decided to take a trip and play at La Center which they don't have limit anymore and it is spread limit of 2/8 ( I like this better) I was off to a bad start but made up for it with by rivering a full house after flopping 2 pair. Then using my Ax theory for limit proved true once again by turning the nut flush with with the turn giving my foe a set so that was very nice to win at the end of the session I cashed out up 60.

    Food for Thought

    So in the last 2 sessions I have won 165 and happy about playing holdem again after my 2 month break. With a 250 bankroll that I had left over after my 400 dollar initial investment from my online bankroll. Now my real bankroll is at just over 400 and with Palm Springs trip coming up this can be another potential long bankroll run again (If all goes well) we will have to see how everything turns out as usual you guys on the site will be the 1st to findout stay tuned and may all your pots be monster!!!

    • Thank you everybody for your comments I appreciate it!! I like the Ax and Kx just to flop a flush draw and try to break through for a huge pot otherwise if I flop 2 pair or trips then I will still play it. Otherwise, I like that bounce them off the dealer trick lol. Thank you again everyone I will be posting most likely tomorrow after my session at Canyonville tonight.

    • Good to see your back on the horse. Remember, If your gonna play that ax in low limit make sure your hittin that flop hard in huge multi way pots or else bounce them right off the dealers head into the muck

    • good luck w/ the car, yo. if it lasts half as long as your old one, it sounds like a good deal. i'm glad your playing some cards again, even if it's weird spread limit. be careful getting in those big pots with weak suited aces and kings... you can't afford to gamble with that bankroll. good luck in palm springs and let me know how it goes!
