We are finally moved in! / First session

        So this is my first ever attempt at doing a blog. It's also, coincidentally, the first time I've written more than a paragraph since college, so bare with me. We got here in 36 hours. That includes one 12 hour stop at a hotel in SC. So basically, we got down here in a hurry. Nala was great and slept the entire time (we walked her for 10-15 minutes once every 3-4 hours.) When we arrived Jim was already here so we got to chill with him on Sunday. Aside from that it has been Mel and I basically going crazy buying things to fill the house with. We've spent, undoubtedly, more money in the last three days than we did in the prior 3 months, but it's been worth it. We've bought/assembled the following since Sunday:
-King size bed (framed, matress, sheets and comforter)
-2 TV stands
-a leather couch and loveseat (which we got an incredible deal on)
-a leather fouton for the game room
-two desks and a desk chair
-a book case for the office
-a coffee table for the living room
- a queen sized bed for the guest room (come hang out)
-bathroom and kitchens supplies

        Anyway, you get the idea. it's been insane but we are happy with the outcome and are really starting to feel at home. Even Nala has gotten to the point that she doesn't follow us every time we leave a room. One thing I have not done in the midst of all this chaos is play poker. Tonight, however, I put in my first baby session to get back into the swing of things.
         I'm going to explain the entirety of my poker plans this one time so the things I say makes sense. I hope to not bore anyone but this post is going to be much longer than the ones that will follow due to the craziness of the move. Again, bare with me and if you don't have any interest in reading about hand histories, stop reading.
         I decided to play exclusively online for now. The benefits of this include, but are not limited to:
-Easier to manage bankroll, miminize risk of ruin
-I have much more experience online having played at least a million hands.
-Saves on gas money
-Rakeback (roughly $200 a month just for playing.)
-Spend more time with Nala and the roommates
         Again, you get the idea. My bankroll is starting at $4,000. I expected it to be a little more but moving was way more expensive than I had anticipated and I need to keep my life roll at a decent place. Today I put $1,000 on Intertops, which is a reliable site that I played casually on for a year or so and received 3 or 4 checks, so I know that they pay and pay quickly. I'm starting at .25/50 so $1000 is 20 buy ins. Honestly, I don't expect to have to redeposit unless I run super shitty so the 3k I have behind is basically just insurance/more money toward my life roll. My plan is to 4 table for 5-8 hours a day until I'm back in the swing of things when I will 6-8 table. I'll move up when my roll hits $10,000, maybe take shots a little earlier. Anyway, here's some analysis of the 2 hour session I played tonight.
      Let me start by saying I played pretty shitty in a few spots, pretty well in a couple others, and basically sub par for the session. Here are some interesting hands.

Played this one well. Guy opens from middle position to $2. I re raise to 5.50 with KK from the sb. Flop comes K78 rainbow. a dream flop. I lead out for 4 (the board is wet enough that I'm confident he'll continue with a descent percent of his range,) He calls. the turn is a 5. completes 46 and 69 but basically inconsequential. I bet $8. He calls. at this point I'm fairly sure he has the case king. The river is the jack. He has about $35 behind and there is about $30 in the pot. I decide to lead out and appear weak. I bet 9 into 30, he jams and shows kj. Ship it. Anyway, kind of a cooler but I think I induced some spazziness on the river with a weak bet.

Standard? thoughts are appreciated. Raise to $2 with AK on the button. bb raises to $7. Descent player so far and my thought is that he is capable of making a move with a moderate, weak hand because raising from the button is so standard. I make it $20. He jams. Can't fold at that point and he shows aces. Coooooooooler. anyway, don't think I can play that any differently.

I 3 bet/folded to a 4 bet and cold call from the small blind with JJ. They show AK and QQ so I felt good about that one.

Spazzed with 910d after calling a three bet pre and dropped a buy in. Too horrible to even talk about.

      Not a whole lot more to talk about as it was a short session. I definitely need to tighten up out of position and realize that very few people are bluffing at these stakes. Anyway, I ended up +$18 for the two hours. Not concerned about the money or my win-rate until I've played at least 100 hours but I'll put the number of hours/ how much money I have online (started with $1000) at the end of every post. I plan on paying myself  80% of my winnings for the month on the first of each month. Alright TV/bed time...tomorrow we're getting a washer/dryer and I'll probably put in my first real session. Feel free to comment, hope everyone is well.
