In my last blog I said I was going to aim to play 150k hands by end of August

Today was the first day of said challenge, I ended up playing 4225 hands mostly 5 and sometimes 6 tabling. It was a very long day and I ended up winning 11.5Bi's and clearing a $125 bonus, add in some rakeback and it was a very good day.

To make my goal i actually needed to play 4500ish hands but hopefully I can make it up tomorrow. A friend of mine wanted to prop bet me I couldn't play 150k hands in a month at 1.5/1. Playing my current number of tables and with other stuff going on in my life I think im a decent dog and I'm not going to take it.

Playing such a long session was really good in terms of being able to examine some of the leaks in my game. I still play poker like a limit player which is kinda bad, what I mean by that is whenever I think I have the best hand I just bet. Without considering my opponents calling ranges, my plan for the next street and the implications of my bet (ie opening myself up to get bluffed). Another major leak of mine, which I have almost successfully gotten rid of, was randomly spewing off a stack every couple of hundred hands. I'm not sure how that leak developed but it has literally taken me about 12mths to almost totally get rid of it from my game. It may sound dumb but there was a time where I literally could not stop doing it. It would be very sick to go back and look how much EV that leak cost me, both in terms of opportunity cost of not moving up and there sheer number of $$$ i gave away. Sigh I would say easily a luxury car.

But anyway everything is looking up but I need my sleep to try and repeat this all tomorrow.

Also Im way too tired to proof read all of what I just wrote so if it doesnt make sense im sure u can figure out what I meant.
