Hot start in the month.... NOT

I had a really, really hot start in the month, booking like 5k$ without rakeback in the black after just two days of grinding. Yeah okay, I took shots at the bigger games and everything seemed to be running hot, but ....... no, lol. I ran incredidibly horrible at the NL400 games and dropped like 6,5k overall in just three days of further play, running like 3k under exspectation, whatever. I even played two really good regs heads-up, which is definitely my weakest spot in poker, but I love the competition (Handhistories below). I managed to bounce back the last days and I am confident things will turnaround for me soon.

My second goal besides Supernova-Elite is to slim down appr. 30 pounds. Regarding this, everything is fine, I am eating healthy (thank you mom) and drinking exclusively water. Okay, I had some beers and Pepsi light for dinner, but that should be okay, too.
Living a healthy lifestyle is not just important for me, it is essential for poker to be sharp and always on the top of my game.

So here are the Handhistories:

Opponent is notontilt09 who is Supernova-Elite yet and a big winner.

They´ll soon have their own reality show on TV, and I really felt I have to play him, because taking money out of these hustlers is the ultimate satisfaction, haha.

When he jammed it, I really hoped for a flip, but was astonished that I was the big favourite and my hand quite unusually held up.
