can’t get the groove on…

(a lil skanky Loehan for Franco…)

——

I been playing some long sessions - HU is pretty interesting, there is huge value but I’m still pretty crap at it - I pay off in such joke spots in the heat of the battle. I always think I’m making some genius thin call, but in hindsight, its just joke fish payoffs.

Had close to the most frustrating session of my life tonight. Played 1000 hands against this maniac, who raised 100% of SB hands, and 3bet me 50% of the time I raised. In 1000 hands, I hit TP or better against him twice, which was so frustrating as I think I could have taken about 10 buyins or more off him as he was pretty tilty. He’s down about 25k on my PT stats over about 4k hands so he’s pretty bad. When he finally left, I cried a little. This has pretty much been the story of my last 3 months, I been finding some soft opponents but can’t make them pay. This other guy I play with every day plays 65/12 and is down 22k over 3k hands and I’ve easily shipped him about 10k in last couple months in some pretty ugly spots.

This is how ridiculously bad my HU friend is and I lost $1200 to him in the session…

This is the other TP I hit, I’m undecided about my turn/river calls. Was probably bad, as he used a lot of pot control unless he’s betting draws, in which case, he just triple barrels whether he hits or misses. The draw missed and I paid him off reluctantly.

I didn’t 3bet pre cause he had started 4bet pushing on me whenever I 3bet so I waiting patiently for 1000 hands and got 1 x TT which I got a stack from, 1 x AK and that’s it. Sigh.

I got pretty lucky in this pot as I would stack off here for sure on turn if this shortstack donkey didn’t jump in and save me by going to town with his underpair. My HU friend then decides to check his set down - nice work Sir.

I really think I’m knocking on the door of a few 30k months, but it doesn’t look like August will be ice. I got a good feeling about October though.
