Yeah I may not be great at poker but my BR management skills are tite.

dropped another BI or so... so far over about 2700 hands I'm down 5 BI's. Still time to turn it around but running out of breathing room.

Played a decent little session and am slowly climbing my way out of the hole. Hopefully it continues. Played a little over 600 hands and wound up finishing up a little over a buy in. Haven't really been getting the amount of hands in as I'd like to so far this month. I didn't play Sun because I was just too tired.. Well I played a 180 man SNG and we all know how my tournament poker follies tend to go.

Anyway a few hands from the session:

Played another semi short session (little over 400 hands) finished up a little over 1 buy in. With that I'm nearly out of the hole. I'm down less than 1 BI now since my move up. From the looks of it I'm likely not going to get in a lot of hands this month which kinda sucks.. But I'm still planning on playing as much as I can with the free time I have.

Otherwise nothing overly interesting in the session although I think I fugged this hand up.

Other than that nothing real interesting biggest hand was I had KK<QQ who raises PF OTB, I 3 bet him.. he tanked for a bit then 4 bet, I shoved and held.

bet the turn?

there's no way he's not trying to CRAI...take the free look at the river...

Well I finally managed to get myself in the black tonight for the month. Didn't play as many hands as I would've liked to again but finished up a little over 1 BI. For the hands I played I really didn't feel as though I made many big mistakes ans was pretty satisified with my play.
