Another Update

Not much happening this month with poker unfortunately. Have a lot of other stuff going on that's taken away from it. The LOLMAHA hasn't been running every night so even when I have been available to play it I haven't been able to much. Played it twice since the last post, both times entering at the last second and not taking the add-on. Seems like the players are better now and not eliminating themselves in stupid spots so this strategy is becoming less effective.

First one I had JJxx and flopped top set of Js and it was 3 way with a potential flush draw on there. I checked and then raised all-in which was really only double the original bet so I knew the guy wasn't folding. Actually both players ended up calling (with the player to my left putting in the full amount cold). Turn was an A and the flush came in on the river but also paired the board with a 2nd T. Thought I was in great shape but the player who originally bet had AAxx with the flush cards and happened to spike top set on the turn. Sigh. Definitely ok with the way I played it though. Knew I had little to no fold equity (although I figured the first player would pass with nothing invested on the flop, he mucked a K high flush btw) but needed to win a huge pot to try and accumulate chips.

Second tournament I was pretty card dead and with about 7 BBs left I had to shove KKxx with 1 suit and ended up running into the BBs AAxx. Flopped a flush draw but received no further help and I was gone. Both times I was out as the first player after the rebuy/add-on period with either 5 or 6 left both times. 

Then tonight I was planning on getting in just now but got some stupid update thing on my phone, got distracted, and when I went back to the computer the late registration period had ended. Oh well. Looked at the cash game action and not feeling waiting to get into a game as the few tables that were running were full. 

Honestly I haven't really been feeling it lately anyway. Not as much passion for poker as when I restarted this blog. Have other stuff going on occupying my time and dealing with a lot of crap with my job at the moment as well. Next month I will be going to Vegas and I expect to play but it may just be a low limit game or two. Until then I'll see what happens. I do have a Sunday night off coming up in a few weeks because of Easter with nothing planned so I expect to play the freeroll. 

That's all for now.

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
