Right Track

I ventured back into the world of home games last night.

After the last few weeks of break even sessions, I decided a change of pace in a berry patch was what I needed. I felt like I played pretty well in this loose passive type game, and was rewarded instead of punished for a change. To define the night I would say one simple phrase: The squeeze play is my friend.

I lost a pot early with 88 when I ran into AJ which wasnt fun, but was able to squeeze my way back into contention and set up a hand where I got TT in against A9 on the good old 953 board. From there I maintained my stack and grew it slowly.

Late in the night, 3 players showed up. 2 I knew from when I was coming up and I was a bit put off by their presence. The interesting thing however is that while in my mind these 2 guys were still the crushers from years past, my game has clearly developed to a higher level then theirs. It was a pretty good feeling to own this one kid over and over again, and put him in spots where he never could call, and forcing him to second guess himself in all the wrong times. And because he was one of the dudes that was around before I was, it felt all the sweeter.

Other then that not a whole lot going on. There is some stuff at work that hasnt been too fun, but I dont feel like getting into it. Beyond that, there is some stuff in my personal life that I would like to write about but this isnt the right time. Maybe shortly when I have some more definite answers I will have more to say.

Until then though, hope everyone is doing well, and crushing the fish.
