I don't like having to title each post so I'm not going to do that as much. I didn't cash in the Fall Classic like I was hoping to, but it was still a fun tourny to play in, despite the turbo structure. I busted when my AK lost to A2 aipf, with a 3456x on the board. I'm going to try to make it up to Grand Casino Hinkley sometime soon for their saturday morning $150+$25. I have always done really well in that game but cannot commit to making every week. It starts with 25-50 blinds and 10k chips to start, so they really is some play earlier on. This with a very weak field makes it too good to not go.

I (obv) busted my Stars roll playing $100 double or nothings a couple days after the Classic event. Yesterday I used my fpps to satellite into the Sunday 200 Grand, and used those tourny dollars to play some small sit-n-gos. I now have $12.63 in my account and am going to try to play 1000 hands of .01/.02 PLO a day. I have said that before sooooo........we'll see.

Okay Bye!!

I'm back baby,

...and lovin' every minute of it! I last left with nothing in my accounts online, but last week I threw $50 bucks in to mess around with, and have worked it up to $250. Most of the winnings have come from HU PLO, which I clearly shouldn't be playing but decided to give it a shot anyways.

This is the very first(and only, lol) hand of one of the matches.

I was between %41 and %45 to win on all streets and luckily binked the river, as Raptor would say. I now have more money online than I did at my peak during my run a couple months ago. I am just going to keep playing a little of everything and see if I can turn this into any kind of serious money.

I have been watching Heroes and it has not let down. After every show it just keeps me wanting more. We just got introduced to Mr. Petrelli, Peter and Nathan's father. Apparantly he is the ultimate badass, despite being confined to his bed, because even Parkman's father is scared of him. The only problem is that I have to watch them online, due to my work schedule. Oh well, less commercials.

The $230 NLH event at the Fall Classic starts in a few hours. I am very excited for it as I have not played in a big live tourny for about 6 months. I have been going over the prize pool in my head. There is a 300 cap on the number of players, so $60,000 max prize pool. Even if first is 20k, and I win, I will spend all of it within the first 2 weeks. First of all, pay off credit cards, student loans, and a big chunk of my car. Buy a new desk and computer, deposit some on stars, and the rest probably for the taxes. GL me!

Busto...

And it's all gone. This blog is going to take a break. Hopefully I start up again in October after the Fall Poker Classic. Later

I hate myself

Down to $50. I was up to $232, but then drunkenly decided it was okay to play .25/.50 and .5/1 PLO. Real bad idea. I'm going to hook up a breathalizer to Stars and if I blow over the legal limit, no poker for me.

The Fall Poker Classic is coming up and I am planning on playing in one of the $230 NLHE events. I was going to play in the Limit O8 event too, so I played a few Limit O8 tournies online and absolutly hated it, so I'm going to pass on that one. Hopefully next post has me at over $200, cuz I'm going to play a $4.40.

$149.97

Sooooo close to $150. I have increased my Stars account 100x since the start of this blog. Pretty good I think.



Something tells me you don't get paid this easily at 1/2 PLO...

Bottom sets are bad in PLO, so here I stack a guy who had one...

Whether its a flush draw or boat outs, it is important to have re-draws...

I'm not sure about three barreling in PLO, but this looked like a good turn and river to try it...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3096824


Looking back I probably should have bet the turn but given what he had I probably saved money...

http://www.pokerhand.org/?3096830


%45 to win on the flop and %42 to win on the turn. Is this supposed to be a flop shove?

My sister told me about this website http://www.pandora.com/. It's really cool you can type in any artist or song and it will make a radio station filled with music similar to your entry. I truly appreciate good music, in every genre from jam bands, punk, rap and hip-hop, metal, blugrass and folk......pretty much everything.

One group I love is the Trans Siberian Orcastra. If you have never heard them you should. I have seen them live 3 times and they put on one of the best shows you will ever see.

O Fortuna...

I tried to find a good video of this song but I couldn't find one with good quality. This is most definitely my favorite song from them, and live it is in-fucking-credible...

Good luck everyone, hope you are all +EV in life!

I have broken the $100 mark from my original $1.50. I was as high as $124 but right now my roll is at $116, up from $84. Most, if not all, of the winnings have come from NL Omaha hi/lo sng's. Though I am still playing the .01/.02 PLO, I just dont see why since I am making so much more playing sng's.

The thing is, I still have trouble grinding out over 1500 hands in cash games on a day to day basis. Plus with the swings in PLO tilts me still. It just makes more sense to grind the SNG's till I can play higher PLO. Also, I dont think there are many higher buy-in sng's for Omaha 8, so I think I'll be playing the sng's until I can play .05/.10 PLO regularly.

I think I'll start posting a little bit about myself. It may be a little dorky but I love to watch TV shows/movies. But with my schedule, I'm usually working when the good shows are on. This makes netflix and watching shows online essential. I've had netflix for about a year now and love it. I have been able to go through entire shows like The Sopranos, The West Wing, Dexter, Deadwood, Weeds....and countless others. The shows on HBO and Showtime are some of the best I have ever seen. Though how can you not like Heroes too?

I'll start posting hands sometime.

Ah low, ha

Well hi! It's been a while since I've had an update for the zero people who read my blog. Someday maybe I'll get a reader(fingers crossed). The last few days have been fun. partying at home, having fun at work, and poker has been okay. Last you heard my roll was at $84. And it still is, haha. I was down to about $70 or so, and up as high as $99. I can't wait till I break that $200 mark and start playing higher regularly. The good thing is I have not played any cash game higher than .01/.02, or and tourny with a buy in higher than $3. I'm pretty proud of myself about that one.

One thing I want to do with this blog is post hands and graphs of my play. The thing is I don't use PT or any other software with my game. I do save my HH's but I am not willing to look for the hands through there. So hopefully soon I start using some of those fancy tools and make this blog a helluva lot more interesting to read.

Lemme look for at least one hand quick here......okay, here is one from a NL Omaha hi/lo SNG. I get all in 3 handed with the nut flush draw and 2nd nut low draw and hit gin on the turn. Most importantly fade all boat draws and scoop de doop for me!
