Running Good...

Well I have really been running well, for me at least. I have a solid month to date, and after several months of red numbers, I am pleased to report they are green. I have realized a profit since May 1st. I have only seen what tough hand, stack buster (http://www.pokerhand.org/?1120661), but I think I played the hand well. I guess that is all you could hope for. I am taking notes and really studying the hands that land me in hot water. I find that I am losing a lot with 2 hands in particular. My stats suggest that I re-visit my play with AQ and 9/10 suited. Those are my "bad" hands. I can easily element the 9/10. but he AQ is a little different. I have changed my style and my approach with the AQ, and it has shown early promise.

After losing for so long, it is hard to believe I can be making the right plays that are required to show a profit. I hope my session with fruitypro, and my new approach has led to this. I hope this "rush" is not a run of good cards. I have been able to get away from most hands when I think I am beat, and I have made calls with overs and OESD that have paid off. It also seems my betting has been such that I get called more often with the goods. All in all, things are good, and when they are good, it really increases the confidence.

I would like to play $50NL, I am rolled for the level, but I want at least 15,000 hands in the green before I consider it. I guess it is my way of cutting my teeth. I have been losing for so long that I want a solid foundation. Right now I have logged 8,900 hands.

Off subject, saw Spiderman 3, sucked!

The prison has been relatively quite. Working with females is such a task, everything is so emotional. It is near the end of my shift on Monday, and Inmate Gunland gets into an argument with her cellie. The women live 8 to a cell, so you could image the drama. Anyway, the argument is over the treatment of another inmate. Women get involved with every aspect of every one's life. They actually form prison families. The butch lesbian is the father, the feminine lesbian is the mother, and everyone else are "kids". Anyway, us guards always have the same warning to each "fish". It is simple, "You came in with one number, do your number, not hers. Back to the issue, when the argument reaches it's climax, Gunland takes a combination lock and puts 4 health whacks on the cell window. Well these windows aren't cheap. After doing $400.00 damage, she is cuffed up and sent to me. I now get to ask the important questions "What the hell were you thinking, and why the hell did you bust up my cell window?" Of course I learn that someone was picking on someone else, and it was that drama that made her break the window. OMG! The sad thing is about this behavior is she will lose 60 days of "good time credit" and she will be charged for the window. The reality is, she get all the good time credit back and we won't collect a cent. PRISON!
