So i decide to grind yesterday.
Arrived say 9pm and get into a toughish 5/10/25 line up but its not terrible. Win 5k in the game. nothing much to note but it was one of the regs bday and we started drinking early into the game and it was a really fun game. Around 2am the game broke and we decided to do 3 flips to end the night. 3 hours later we were still flipping, drinking more and generally make a **** ton of noise.
Super fun night got in at 6 but cant ****ing sleep so sigh life.

We are back in 2016
So a brief, note, this years goal is to make 200k. I think its very achievable based on 2015 results as well as the fact I should be able to play more this year.
I played my first session last night, it lasted 17 hours and I swang a ton, was down 2k at a point, up 10k, up 1k then up 8.5k, then down 2k then finally finsihed up 4k.
So road to 200
current: 4.195k

So played for 4 hours today was able to grind a profit of 8,630 which is a pretty nice hourly compared to last time lol. Nothing truly interesting to report other than I such. Played 1 hand really well 1 hand really bad but overall a solidly played session
Road to 200 = 12,825
I'm hoping by the end of this year I'll have a really sick live graph to post

So I dont usually like to play on a Saturday right now because games are usually small and I have a hard time grinding 2/5 but i figure i didnt get much hours in during the week so I wanted to put in a decent session and it would be good for discipline to grind a little lower.
Anyway I get there around 7 and the 2/5 opens like 15 minutes after i arrive so right on time. It is the smallest 2/5 game you could really get and Im grinding for a couple hours and just order a few glasses of wine. The Pats KC game was starting to i mainly focused on that cause i had a few bets on the results. So a friend is grinding the game as well and we are sat next to each other, we order a few pints at the end of the game and during the GB ARI game.
For some reason we are both very deep in the 4k region effective stack. Both of us were stuck super big in the game at different intervals and i was currently stuck 3k due to me trying to run a hero bluff against a nit with no fold equity leveling myself to put in the last bullet.
so this hand comes up and the preflop details might be a bit sketch but bare with me.
we are 4k deep, I am in the BB. I have JT93ss
Someone raises to 20, and you get about 6 callers.
Flop is J95 rainbow.
Villain (in SB), checks. I bet 100, i get 3 callers and SB pots to 840. I tank call. and everyone folds except for 1 person who has 325 left.
Turn is 2x and he jams for 3k or there about I guess the pot was miscalculated by the dealers cause pot was less but we just get it in and run it twice. bricks both times and I guess he just had a draw but im not sure if it was just a spazz off.
I win a big pot and he deals with it with pure class says good game and gets up and we fist bump etc. But i still somewhat feel a little weird about the situation. I have never quite gotten over feeling guilt for taking money from people i like or consider friendly. I know thats the whole point of the game but its so much easier taking from assholes.
I dont know maybe im just ranting but it felt weird.

I get it. I used to play a lot in a local game that grew from a very friendly 25nl game played with actual cash to a 200nl game with custom chips and dealers. I never really felt comfortable taking $$s from the guys that I liked. I did it but eventually I stopped playing in those games because of it. Something about buddies joking about their kids college funds, I hope they were joking, that I couldn't get past.
