Today was my best day of cash game sessions since I've been back from Europe. After sunday's tournaments, I haven't really wanted to play tournaments since. I go through phases of wanting to play live cash games, live tournaments, online cash games, and online tournaments. Many players only play one or two of these categories, and very few play all of them, and even less are successful at all of these disciplines. One example is a friend of mine that I met through poker named Tyler. Tyler is quite possibly the best live players (online and tournaments) that i have ever seen. He has made it to the final 15 in five live tournaments this month of the 10 or so that he played, all of which had 200-600 players. He happened to do the best in the smaller buy-ins, but he still cashed for about $50,000 this month. He also kills the cash games every time I see him playing live. However, he admits to being a losing player online, so he doesn't play much on there. After seeing this kind of thing, I take pride in being an excellent winning player in all of these 4 categories.
Anyways, I've really been feeling the cash games the last few days, and I've been getting back into playing the 6-handed games (I have been favoring heads-up play previously). I played probably 4 hours of 6 tables of six-handed games with 2/4 blinds ($400 buy-in) and won $3600. I also player two heads up matches (not during the 6-handed session, that's too much). One was against a known very good player, but I felt good about my game so I gave it a shot. I only played him for 27 minutes until he made some nice adjustments so I happily left with a $600 win. The other match was crazy. It lasted 202 minutes which shocked me because I figured that he would leave if he ever got up by a significant amount. He took like a $400 lead until I came back to up about 300. He then crushed me for a about 40 minutes until he was up about 700. Also, the aggressiveness of the match increased the whole time and at this point about every third hand was raised and re-raised before the flop. I won a couple big pots and got up 1100 on him. He one one more big pot before quiting the match which was ok with me because it was fairly intense, and I was happy to survive with a $700 win ending the day on a $4800 upswing.
I also got an oil change so my car is ready for the drive down to OC on friday. I am moving down there back into the house I lived in during my last two years of college.

I usually don't really get flustered by my teams losing games, but I thought that the loss was so avoidable that it's inexcusable. This was a big game for the Broncos to stay even in the division, and they really were dominating the game at Chicago in the rain, which is not easy to do.
