Losing day
I played about 800 hands today and finished down $2.2k. Much of the loss came from $5/10 NL where I lost a pretty big coin flip vs a 3-bet monkey. The guy's 3-betting stats were just off the charts. I had 1,100 hands on him and his 3-bet stat is 11%. His 3-bet stat from the BB is 20% so here AQsooted is at the very top of his range. I played my hand perfectly and it's definitely profitable to be felting JJ vs this villain, even 130 bbs deep.
My other big loser was another cooler. I lost with AA in a 4-bet pot. I 4-bet to a normal size instead of shoving to keep the BB who was a huge fish in the pot. I had a pot-sized bet left on the flop with my overpair and got outflopped.
Nothing else of note really happened. I don't think I played all that bad, as $1,800 of my $2.2k loss was from those two hands alone. I don't know if I'm going to be playing $5/10 NL much more this month. I want to make sure that I end the year on a winning note and I don't really want to take a high variance route to finish the month. I'm definitely a favorite in the games but I want to build my roll a bit on the site I'm playing on primarily now, so I have more buyins for $5/10 NL. If you add up my roll over all the sites, I'm actually over-rolled even for $5/10 NL but there's just something about having enough buyins on one particular site that makes me play a bit better I think.
One last thing, that's pretty exciting... today my friend Bill made it into town and we talked a lot about posibilites for making myself a new website. Also, we looked over some computers online and I think I have one picked out (Dell XPS 730x H2C). I'm going to call Dell in the morning to see if I can get Windows XP put on it and then probably order it. It's definitely an expensive one and it's going to be pretty damn sick. I'll be getting two 30'' Dell monitors for it as well.
