[Raven Poker Training] Tournaments have been more of the same recently, but I have been crushing Poker.com. The converter for Poker Tracker isn’t that efficient, but it has me at 7.86/100 through 25K hands played at 1/2 since the reset. This is quite impressive at least to my standards. On Friday, we went to McSomething in Westwood and Qs in Santa Monica via limo for Amanda’s bday. We boozed for an hour beforehand at Amanda’s and obv continued in the limo. I started w/ Corona’s and changed to Crown in the limo and at the bars. Other than a couple semi-dramatic moments, we had a great time overall. At Q’s, I ran into a close friend my high school that I haven’t seen in a few years. He was with Andrew ‘Goof’ Dickinson (sp?) and brother’s Bean. I chatted a bit w/ them a bit. They are among the few people that became poker players from our high school. Apparently, horryclutch took down the Nightly 100K on Stars Thursday night. Nice!

The plan started out great as the first two limpers called, the other two folded (seat three gave me some lip asking why I would donk-bet, but eventually folded), seat four raised, I 3-bet, one limper folded, the other one called, seat four capped and only had two chips left...

[Noted Poker Authority] LAG players who challenge for pots are tricky, because LAG players are hard to stack because they tend to have a weaker hand range and are hard to steal from because they challenge for pots. The 3-betting and stack sizes issues all go down to a lack of implied odds for stacking your opponents and a lack of leverage to steal pots.

[Poker Grump] It's a little hard to say this, because I'm not used to it yet, but I suppose that I'm a professional poker player. I moved to Vegas intending to get a job as a poker dealer, but while waiting to get hired, I spent the days playing poker instead of dealing it, and soon found that I was able to keep the bills paid.
