Grueling 2,500 hand heads up match
I just finished a grueling heads up session of 10/20 draw against -acace-. The match last almost eight hours and probably totaled close to 2,500 hands. We both finally decided that it was time for bed and the war will resume another day. I am glad to continue the match, if you know what I mean. During the match, many specific situations came up in which I had a different approach than normal. Much of the reason because my opponent was much looser and more aggressive than most of my opponents in the past. An example, I have a high pair like QQ234 on the button which I would never think to slowplay but since my opponent would raise any hand I limped with I chose to just call. He continues the betting post-draw and I call even without improvement having QQxxx ahead his range of hands he makes this play with. This led to much higher variance of course but it was well worth it knowing I would get a very long session out of him.
The rest of my matches last night did not go so well but I can't complain. I don't think I played my best tonight and I attribute that to some other things on my mind. Never again will I have heated instant messenger arguments while playing cards. My new short-term goal will be to work on my level of concentration. Once I move I will start exercising a lot more which should really make a difference.
This past week I have worked very hard and put a lot of time (approx 60 hours)into my game. I've been really trying to buckle down on the number of hours I'm putting in as I'm getting closer and closer to my next big goal. As a reward this weekend I'm going to try to do something nice for myself. I'm just not quite sure what yet.
Record today : 4-3 ... again hit n runs
Total : 112-31-5
