Its been too long yet again since my last update. Though I wanted to get a few more hands in before I came in for a real update. Other than that let me update you on the boring stuff first. It's been cold and windy for the most part. I have been doing a little writing and a little work here and there. Being back home has given me the chance to throw a few curling stones as well. However my knee is only upfor limited action so I'm going to only be playing in one bonspiel this year which will be my home one and skipping Climax. This is sad because now instead of two weeks of drunkeness I only get one. I know how sad is that. Oh did I mention I got a tattoo? Yeah I did and it looks pretty darn good if you ask me. I'll put up a picture when it is touched up and all healed. My body and red ink really don't get along I found out. It really is quite the process and getting it done is really a nice relaxing pain.
Quick side not were are you RossG? I miss your blogs.
On to the poker. I'm not going to post any hands because I played pretty brutal this week. I played a little NL for fun and a little PLO. Both were very interesting. I think my first all in in PLO went five handed. I had top set and knew there was no way I could win with that many opponents in. I mean with that many opponents in my only chance is to try and hit a boat or quads. And a boat in that situation suck because there is a good chance middle and bottom set are out there. So I was like good start good start. Then my game just went downhill. I lost all patience over the last couple days and played way too many hands way too aggressively. We all know what happens next, either I run good or run bad. Thats really all there is too it. I guess you could say I ran medicore and only lost like 5 bi. Which someguys don't even know they have started a session until they are 5 bi down or up. NL of course is much softer due to the huge player pool. I didn't run real stellar here losing a couple buyins in dominating situations. Then I lost a couple in other spots were I probably shouldn't have got it in but did. It is really important to be able to classify your opponents because there really are two different types it seems at the micros. Guys who get it in with anything and guys who get it in with nutted hands. If you can accomplish seperating the two you'll be much better off. Sadly for me my judgement was a little off.
I played on multi entry tournament as well. It was super soft and almost took one buyin of my four deep. The great thing is that min cashes are even more useless so it really pushed me to try and build a stack. However it was a turbo and I didn't quite push hard enough. I was knocked out when I got 88 in against 99. The with 1bb left I got AA and then QQ back to back. Sadly with 5bb left I lost with the QQ hand and was out. I like the structure though because instead of playing 4 tournies you can play one with four entries. This way you only have to focus on one and its running time instead of trying to get four coordinated at once. However once you get to your last buyin it get really boring. Next tourney I think i need to work on my restealing. There are some plays like this I don't use enough which really inhibits my chances of a deep run. I know what I should do but pulling the trigger is always twice as hard. Well I hope everyone is having a good run and I'm happy or Aronimik who finally FT'd a freeroll. Maybe next time he'll win.
