1/3 Grinding and Bankroll

After a busy day at work played a little and chatted up a therapist and we got to talking, it was nice to connect. He said there’s good money in private mental health law if I ever considered it I would be well positioned with my three bar admissions.

Ran pretty well at plo making over $3k on the session, seems like a theme lately is just running pure. Got lucky and folded out a better flush with 87653ds in a bloated pot and scooped. At the end lost with wrap and fd to a set but won a smaller side pot where my pair of 7s beat his pair of 4s after he missed his nfd. Doing really well this month already, up $14k in under a week. Might be another record-breaking month if things keep going this way.

After a slog of a day at work, played a little session and didn’t run as good as I’ve gotten used to lately, running nfd 2p nut gutter into a turned set, as well as trying to bluff in a double board bomb pot (don’t try!), also lost TT764 on AT34hh to two pair nfd all in ott for a dry side pot of $1200 and a main pot of $2100 against the bare wheel where I had about direct odds, but at least made a comeback crai QJ986cc on T63Jcc versus a delayed chat from naked AAQ and AAJ44ds l/rr $250 got it in on a safe looking 622 flop in a three way pot versus an aggro donk bettor pro x who had a worse overpair, probably figuring she was calling my shove so she may as well shove herself, before I had to quit to get sleep for a busy day today with a hearing this afternoon I needed as much rest as possible for. Ended up losing around $1400 but played valiantly, just didn’t have enough time to realize my edge due to responsibilities.

Put in an accommodation request for telework at the job, hopefully will be granted and no funny business for disclosing my disability.

3, 000 pages of medical records
to review in 1 week, 7.5 hour hearing that ended at 9pm, and I lost. I think the job no longer is giving more than it is taking and it’s time to move on again now. It was a good ride and I did a lot of good for sure.

Just Saw this post for some reason! Keep up the good job!

I’ve had a headache since the hearing and I didn’t feel well at all yesterday, it really took a toll on my health. Took a day to relax, had a massage, tried to sleep in, played some poker but ran bad. Lost double board bomb pot with nut straight plus redraw and a set, lost AQQds to KK226, won most of it back at 1/2 plo then the game got boring so I played short stack at 2/5/10 for a while lost a couple all in spots ahead A8s

I feel like I am part of a system rigged against my clients and I can’t do them Justice. A system I don’t want to be complicit in by participating in it. At my marathon herring the judge overseeing it was new and shadowing an old time former prosecutor whose brother has been committed to a mental facility his whole life. I didn’t expect to get a favorable outcome under those circumstances.

Good luck! Hope whatever you do brings you happiness.

Yesterday I ran meh and lost some, but not too badly. The hospital in this case blocked our expert from evaluating my client and may have tampered with a witness’ testimony who I subpoenaed. And I get personal insults from them as well. And my client is locked up. Because the hospital caved to her daughter’s threats when they were about to discharge her last week. So disappointing. And the judge went with all this and was complicit with the hospital. :/

Was in for $10,000 tonight at 5/5 and was down $8k mainly due to bomb pots, but I made a roaring rebound, profiting over $4k...! Phew! Game still running, might hop in again.

Played 1/2 through the early morning until around midday, got AA or similar in pre several times against the VIP and won nearly all of them and made another $4k or so, for around a $7k profit on the night! E.g., AA665ds, AAJT9ss, AKK75ss (lost), AAQ42ds. Took a little sleep/long nap per friendÂ’s advice because I couldnÂ’t stay up all day to reset my schedule, I was just too tired. Gonna sleep early tonight instead. Played some 10/25 hold em as well, was a nice change of pace, I still have the skills in that game but imo there arenÂ’t as many profitable spots compared to plo, just too few playable hands and equities run so far apart it would be hard to just bluff it into a win every time.

Did a really good workout as well, can tell IÂ’m getting stronger. Up to around 40 push ups now in one set and 12 burpees. Up over $17k this month already, good place to be 1/3 of the way through.

Having gotten my mind off work over the weekend and taken some mental space, I think I can keep going with the job for the time being. It’s just really brutal in the moment. I have a call with my supervisor tomorrow and I’m waiting for my telework accommodation request results which will determine the course moving forward.

Also I am reminded how terrible my disability is for my emotional stability and motivation. I’m glad I waited a few days before quitting, the time certainly helped me cool off. I do think a different position might be better suited for me though, so I’ll keep a lookout for any opportunities.

After a short sleep per a friend’s suggestion so as not to ruin my sleep schedule, I played a session in the late afternoon and made a couple thousand. I don’t recall any tough spots at all, just easy money. AK854ds beat AA and a Q-high rundown mostly all in pre.

Got into a small tiff with a former nba player the other night at 5/5, at showdown after he jammed and I called he said I have a set and I said I have too set and I showed, he then said let me see what else I have and tabled a straight on both runouts and scooped. I asked why he had me show and slowrolled. He got upset at me for disrespecting him.l and said he’d be on my a$$. He left and came back 20 minutes later carrying a water and a soda (not a gun…!).

We later made up because he had cool fashion style. Apparently he did time for murder and got out of prison early and my other buddy told me not to get him riled up. Ayeee! Funny to come face to face with someone similar to who I’ve helped during my past career doing postconviction work.
