Played some 6-max today to warm up for Vegas. The plan is to play a bunch of live poker. I'll probably end up grinding online and playing blackjack though. I actually used to count cards as a part-time job before I learned poker. Funny to look at it now. I must have made like 6k in 2 years, but it was pretty fun and taught me about gambling. Back around 2003 best friend and I went to Vegas for the first time. We did nothing but play blackjack, eat, and sleep. I came home about 3k in the black, and it was one the happiest and carefree times of my life.

Slowed worked back into the groove at 6-max. Played 1/2 my hands at 6-max today. Fortunately nobody knows how to play. Gonna grind some 2/4 this week, but not higher. Dont want to ruin a good month and want to go to Vegas on a good note.

His turn raise obv makes no sense. But I think 3-betting small forces him to make the biggest mistake. Because if I call I always have something and he's much less likely to bluff. The best line is to CiB and c/c every river card.
