11/20 : Sadly had to delete some old posts

As this was kind of serving as a journal for me I felt the need to delete some more personal posts of mine lol. Anyways I realized after reading through some of them that I really enjoy posting about things non-poker related...so I'll probably keep doing that, just on a smaller scale. I'll also make sure to label them so that if it's a topic of my life that's totally uninteresting to you, you can just skip it.

Anyways, today was a pretty awesome workout. I started off hurdling with fresh legs (finally, not hurdling the day after a lifting workout). And it went really well, I really need to work on my start...but I'm sure that will come. Then we proceeded into 10 100's with 3 minute rest at 12.7 seconds. Me Holman and Josh were in the lead group and progressed nicely (except Josh who looked like powder after #5 and had to stop). I felt my legs tighten up, but I feel like with the experience I've gained, I can control my stride and transition into a shorter more relaxed motion when I need to. It slows me down a little bit, but...I don't hurt myself.

Cards was a gigantic rollercoaster today. I went down about $450 early, but won two 100's and then in unstoppable ridiculously lucky fashion won a $119 6-handed. Then capped it off winning a few 50's to end up around +130. It was kind of fun, but easily could've spun out of control...luckily it didn't.

Somewhat important hand of the day (sorry I x'd out of stars and don't feel like searching for anything better right now).

Hi Max, whats your reasoning behind you slight overbet on the river when he checks to you. Do you think he has a hand he is for check calling here so you are going for more value.
