Diplomacy - Spring 1901

* Intro

Negotiations:
I talked to four other countries: England, Germany, Italy and Russia. England and I agreed that we would each stay out of the channel. Germany and I agreed to stay out of Burgundy, and Italy and I agreed to stay out of Piedmont and the Western Med. Russia just wanted to say hi and we talked about keeping each other informed of things and such.

Orders:

ENGLAND
Edinburgh MOVE Norway -> Square nwy is not reachable
Liverpool MOVE Yorkshire -> resolved
London MOVE North Sea -> resolved

FRANCE
Marseilles MOVE Gascony -> resolved
Paris MOVE Picardy -> resolved
Brest MOVE Mid-Atlantic Ocean -> resolved

ITALY
Venice HOLD -> resolved
Rome MOVE Apulia -> resolved
Naples MOVE Ionian Sea -> resolved

GERMANY
Munich MOVE Ruhr -> resolved
Berlin MOVE Kiel -> resolved
Kiel MOVE Denmark -> resolved

AUSTRIA
Vienna MOVE Budapest -> Bounced
Trieste MOVE Albania -> resolved
Budapest MOVE Rumania -> Bounced

TURKEY
Constantinople MOVE Bulgaria -> resolved
Ankara MOVE Constantinople -> resolved
Smyrna SUPPORT Ankara to Constantinople -> resolved

RUSSIA
Moscow MOVE Ukraine -> resolved
St. Petersburg (South Coast) MOVE Gulf of Bothnia -> resolved
Warsaw MOVE Galicia -> resolved
Sevastopol MOVE Rumania -> Bounced



Analysis:

I move Brest to Mid Atlantic Ocean, Marseilles to Gascony (in case either Germany or Italy break their promise to me and I have to defend Paris or Marseilles), and Paris to Picardy so I can have a say in Belgium. As far as the rest of the map, mostly everyone is just trying to pick up the neutral SCs but Russia did order Warsaw to Galicia, a threat to Austria-Hungary. If Russia has the help of Italy, AH can be in trouble very quickly. Turkey could cause him some problems in the Balkans as well. For this reason it is my least favorite country to play. While Italy statistically has the fewest wins, it can usually hang around for awhile. Austria can be annihilated pretty quickly, within the second year. In this game Austria needs to use Diplomacy so he can save his ass and get 1 or two builds. He must look to Turkey and Italy for help. However, Russia may already have one or both of those countries on his side. Stay tuned....

Righting the Ship

Had another bad session yesterday. Actually I didn't play badly at all, I just took two horrible beats. I was taking a shot at NL $50 too. Lost to JJ twice. One hand I had 55 in a raised pot, I called from the BB, and flopped a set (9-6-5 flop I believe). Anyway, get it in with a half stack, he has JJ, river J. Great. Another hand I have KK and resolve to play a big pot with it. I raise to $3, SB calls. Flop comes 9 high, he checks, I bet pot, he calls. Turn is a blank, same action. River is a jack, he shoves for the remaining PSB, I call. He has JJ, sigh. Really wish I didn't keep getting two outed. So tonight I decide to take a shot at $100 NL (6-max of course) after the Red Sox beat the Rockies 2-1 due to great pitching to take a 2-0 lead in the series. I sit in with $100, leaving me a measly $5.12 if I lose it. But I resolved to try and get up $45 and then leave. If I go broke I take a break or redeposit or whatever. Sick and tired of grinding it out at NL $25 just to get t

Alright so I haven't updated in a while, also haven't been playing either. Recently Full Tilt offered me a $50 bonus without having to make a deposit so I've been playing a little bit. Probably only going to clear $10 of the bonus, really just can't get into playing much anymore with work and other stuff like bowling, which I've really gotten into over the past 4 months occupying my time. Anyway, tonight I sat down at a $100 PLO8 table. Morris Chestnut was at the table and I wa able to jump in and be top on the waiting list because it's PLO8. After about 10 minutes I got in. It was a pretty boring game, not much action, most of the table was playing tight. I thought there would be more action with a red pro being at the table and was hoping to see some hold'em donks occupying some seats at this table. I was up a few dollars when this hand took place.

Foxwoods

Took the afternoon off Friday and headed to Foxwoods. Got to the poker room at around 2 and I was looking to play 4/8 Omaha8. However, the list was about 8 people long, and the person at the desk said that there was an interest list going for 1/2 Pot-Limit O8. It was open seating at that point, so I joined in and soon we had a full table of 10 people and the game got going. Early on I made a pretty bad blunder with a strong hand. I had A Q 4 2 on the button and called a $6 raise. One of the blinds also called and the flop came with 2 clubs and 2 low cards, giving me a Q-high flush draw and the nut low draw. I called a $12 bet from the preflop raiser, the other player folded and we were heads up. The turn was the 5 , completing both of my draws. The PFR checked and I checked behind (I know, terrible). The river was th e , 5 putting a possible full house on board. He checked again and I not only check behind but I turn my hand face up instead of letting my opponent reveal his cards. My
