Well, meh results and my first stop lossed session

Hey everyone, hope you had a good weekend. I didn't play too much poker over the weekend. It snowed here on Thursday night, and Friday Kim didn't even go into work so I didn't play too much poker but did manage to win about $1100. Then I didn't play at all Saturday, instead I did a lot of apartment shopping as Kim and I are trying to find somewhere to live when we get married.

All the apartments we looked at were pretty nice, except it is so tough to find an apartment with any space in it. All the 2 bedroom/2 baths we looked at were like 1,000-1,200 sq ft. The bedrooms in apartments also tend to be pretty small which is a bit of a problem since we bought a king sized mattress last week. The last place we looked at was actually the most spacious place we could find and everything about it is pretty awesome. It's a 2 bedroom/2 bath condo that is about 1,600 sq ft for around $1100/month. The master bedroom is huge which is really nice, and it has a lot of living space.

The lady informed us that they were getting quite a bit of interest in the condo since it is the last one available for lease in the community, actually when we went in to look at it there was another couple exiting.

So we decided to go ahead and reserve it. We drove out the next day with everything we needed and reserved the condo. Awesome. When we dropped everything off the place had only been open for an hour or 2 and already 2 more people had come to look at the condo.

Sunday I was able to play a little poker at night and made around $2400 in a few hours which was nice. Today, however, I just got done with a session and unfortunately I made myself quit after losing slightly more than $5k from my peak. I started off the session with a set over set for 200bbs playing some HU which is always a nice way to start. Then I ran pretty hot and I was up a little more than $5k. After that, I couldn't win a showdown to save my life. There was a mega fish at 3/6 and he was owning the crap out of me. I lost a biggish pot at the end and then decided to quit. It's a bit frustrating going up so quickly in a session only to have it topple back down pretty quickly but I'm proud of myself for just sitting out rather than try to get it back as fast as possible.

I'm trying to get to the gym before a lesson so I won't go into much detail at all about some hands, but I figured I'd post some of the bigger pots from the last couple days.

These next 2 hands were against the huge fish at 3/6 today. I might be able to fold the first river but... i have a flush vs a fish so I dont think so. Although some of my students will get on me and berate me for not paying attention to the c/c c/c donk pot river as the ultimate monster line from a donk.

Here I think I should make my river raise slightly smaller, and then obviously fold to the shove. Perfect spot for the raise/fold line I was talking about in one of my recent blog posts.
