I have been attempting to get in a groove this week. Work out in the morning, do atleast one thing on my to do list and then play online at night. Despite noticing myself getting less motivated as the week is going on I have stuck to it pretty well. Our scale is out of batteries, which may be a good thing, because I dont think I am dropping any weight this quickly and I dont want to be discouraged. So of course "get scale batteries" is at the bottom of my to do list.
Online has been quiet this week with a couple very shallow cashes. I was chip leader for a good hour in the UB 1K, only to lose 1 coinflip and 2 40/60's to go out 27th.
After getting up early to wait for the GE repairman, I decided to go in to the Bellagio to put in some time. Despite it being a slow time the game was pretty good, and a handful of them were talking about some insane 25/50 from the night before. I am sure it went again last night, but I was looking foward to coming home and hanging out with Morgan. Unfortunately/fortunately I got to talk to my brother. We have been playing phone tag for over a month, so I didnt even get much time with Morgan.
O'Neil was in the game and he was squeezing every chance he got which is fine, but I'm assuming he was on a heater because he had 10K+ in front of him opposed to his usual 1K. We played a couple big pots, but he picked off 2 bluffs to put me right a even despite the table. I straddled to 40 and UTG called, then UTG +1 made it 160. There was one caller and I looked down at 107hh. The raiser was pretty tight, but loosened way up after seeing how the table was playing, so I repoped to 600. UTG immediately announce raise and threw in 2K more. He had about 14K behind and I had him covered. If I was in position I would not even hesitate to call, but out made it much closer. His hand is so polarized (AA or KK) I decided to call and check raise all in a number of flops. I know he will put me QQ or JJ or AK in that spot so I represent those hands if needed in addition to hopefully picking up a pair or a draw. The flop was QQJ and I was already gitty about the opportunity to bluff, but he checked behind. The turn was another Q and I was handcuffed. I couldn't represent anything and checked. He checked again. The river was blank and I almost fired thinking he might have AK, but I stuck to my original range and gave up. He gave a speech and showed KK assuming for some reason they werent good. I clawed back a little bit to be a small loser in the game.
