Back home

After a nice relaxing weekend near Boston, I'm back home in NJ and back to playing poker. Got home Monday night and played a little on Bet365 and made $50 at 1/2 6max. Played on PokerFantasy a bit this morning and was up almost $50 but lost all that back trying some 2/4 6max where every hand I just got pummelled repeatedly. So my monthly profit is about $900. Still a ways to go to get to the 2k mark. Hopefully I can get to at least the $1000 plateau before the end of the month. $1200 would make me a happy camper at this point.

I need to study up on short handed concepts a bit more it seems. I feel like I'm folding too much but then every time I don't fold I'm losing too. Could just be variance but when its down to 3 or 4 players at the table I look at other players and I'm not sure if they're really good or just really bad and lucky.

Really bad and lucky is when original raiser calls 2 bets cold on the turn with AKTT board with 99 and catches 9 on river to kill my straight.

Then there are the times I am in the BB and the SB raises me every time and it seems like every time I have 92o. If I decide to play back I end up missing the flop. Should I get into a blind war with nothing? My opponent may very well have nothing too. I need to get a grasp on these types of hands most of all.

That's it for now...happy holidays everyone :)
