Feelin pretty well

I'm completely recovered from the theft debacle (btw I had to look up how to spell that correctly on dictionary.com so be happy I take this blog seriously)! Anyway, this summer as far as fun goes, seems to be very promising. Unfortunately, I will be spending ~$70 or $80 this summer just on movies- this is seriously one of the sickest summers of movies I've ever seen it's unreal to see the upcoming great selection. Hopefully I'll be patient enough to have a friend that has Netflix just order all the movies and we watch them somewhere with friends, though not getting the complete movie experience. Seeing all those movies for almost no cost at all seems pretty good rite now since I haven't been playing poker. Becoming a bit more nitty in real life, but soon will end that. Why you say? Oh, because I'm about to have my first online session in over a month now Wednesday! It's not for sure, but I think. I will either be staked at $1/$2nl and have a friend sorta sit behind me and help me a bit. I don't know if it will be on Stars or FTP. If I play $2/4$ nl, I will have to cover my own losses (which will be at the end of every month or 6 sessions, whichever comes first). I will be 4tabling either way, and I will want PAHUD and PT running for sure. I will be able to focus really well. I will now not be so focused on getting outplayed and I won't play so ballsy. I will be a bit more aggressive and not quite so in the mood for calling down and playing pot control, but more going for solid value. My Ideal stats will be around 26/22/4. I think that will get me the best winrate and I'll be playing ubersolid and avoiding the regs, so I expect to win maybe $800/session (the sessions will be 1.5 or 2 hours long each). If I'm playing $1/$2 nl, I expect half that or maybe a bit more with about the same stats, maybe a bit more aggro. It's pretty crazy tho how the fish are bigger at 2/4 nl, but the regs are twice as tough as the 1/2 game. As long as I practice good game selection and target the right players and really set up scenarios, etc, I think I should do VERY well since I'm motivated, short sessions, and have a friend behind me somewhat coaching me but mainly keeping my head clear and tilt control. Wish me luck and I'll inform u how that session goes, as well as my success of finding a live game to play in or deal (I'm on the verge through a friend I've recently met playing bball). Back to the subject of movies- last nite I saw Live Free or Die Hard. Very solid movie with very good action, suspense, and some humorous moments. I'm not quite sure- I think it's exactly 50/50 tie between that and Transformers to which one I prefer. I have yet to see a bad summer movie, and I don't think I will see one entirely this year TBH :)

Random thoughts: Stinger/LucLongley's recent video on CR of PLO and Townsend's series at $5/$10 nl have been great-quality videos. CardRunners is increasingly becoming better, and I actually will probably fork over ~$200 for another year's subscription or w/e. Over the past 6 months, my game has definitely been improving, and plus, it's great entertainment to see the best players in the world playing online poker and succeeding heavinly, and I can see right into their minds and playing styles. I think I will be playing online poker off and on with these sessions with my friend and paying him with my rakeback (probably about $40/session) and maybe a little more $ on the side if he's helping a lot, and hopefully can get a somewhat decent roll together to grind $1/$2 nl when I start college (in a few months). I will make sure to not let it take over my life and to conserve my time and keep up heavily on my social life. If I can keep poker in check with the rest of life with short sessions of concentrations (and maybe with a little assistance from prescription meds), I should end up bein quite successful and get an income back FINALLY. I think my skill is there to beat the $1/$2 and $2/$4 nl games for a winrate of maybe 3.5bb/100 over like 50k hands if not better if I just target the non-regs and don't play too fancy, all I need is the responsibility and mentality to do it.
