LET US GOGOGO

Some poker content started coming up on youtube for me after not even following the game at all (much less playing) since I last posted to this blog. Decided to fire up the ACR software and see if I could still play hold them. Found the toughest, meanest $.01/$.02 table I could find and bought in for a mere 50bbs. A few hands into it: Winning Poker, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 7 players UTG: $2.94  (147 bb) MP (Hero): $0.95  (48 bb) MP+1: $0.67  (34 bb) CO: $2.00  (100 bb) BU: $2.14  (107 bb) SB: $2.85  (143 bb) BB: $4.80  (240 bb) Pre-Flop: ($0.05) Hero is MP with K ♦ A♣ UTG calls $0.02, Hero calls $0.02, 1 fold, CO checks, BTN raises to $0.04, 1 fold, BB calls $0.02, UTG calls $0.02, Hero 3-bets to $0.95  (all-in), 1 fold, BTN calls $0.91, 2 players fold I still suck at playing behind limpers apparently. If UTG folds I just go ahead and pump in a raise, which I should have done here. But instead I figure let's get a big limped pot and hopefully a greedy BB that decides

Fired up ACR to see if the few bucks I had on there was still in my account and my $2.72 balance was there waiting for me. Found a $.02/$.05 PLO8 game and decided to jump in for a quick sesh. Joined a full ring game that had 3 empty seats and noticed a few changes. First, the player names are hidden if you're not sitting in the game. Second, there's the option to run it twice (although that may have existed before, don't remember). Lastly, when I jumped in I got a message saying this table has bomb pots every 15 minutes. Everyone posts 3 big blinds, gets their 4 cards, and we go right to the flop. Good stuff. I jump in the game and check "wait for BB" but the bomb pot hand takes place prior to my BB coming around and I am actually dealt into that hand. I go to the flop with this wonderful hand against 6 other players: 8 ♦ J♠4 ♥ 5♣. Flop comes down 6 ♥ A ♥ 9 ♥ , I'm actually first to act and check. Someone bet so I can release this hand immediately. Nope, check

Haven't played in months, decided to boot up ACR and play a bit. Still have a few bucks on there.

Raising almost every hand. Not going anywhere in this short handed game especially, even with a high only hand. Flop: ($0.36) T ♦ 3♠ J♠ (2 players) SB bets $0.36, Hero raises to $0.50  (all-in), SB calls $0.14 Good enough, let's dance. Turn: ($1.36) T ♥ (2 players, 1 all-in) Good turn. MOST GOOD.

As I mentioned previously I've been enjoying the freerolls that ACR has been hosting. They're doing a lot of Omaha and today it was PLO8. Fun game, especially when other people have little clue how to play it.

Heard some scuttlebutt on the online internet this week that 5Dimes was going to exit the US market and that people should get their money out of there. So that prompted me to go into my GrandPoker account and request a cashout. Didn't have much optimism that they were actually going to give me the money, based on what happened the last time I tried to cash out. Actually made a good run of it turning $0 and some GPPs into $106. Figured I'd request a cashout of $100 and then still have a few bucks to play with if I felt the urge. So went through the process for cashing out. First tried to move the $100 to the sportsbook and then go through that but still no option on the website to cash out; had to request it via email. Also the only real option was to go through bitcoin, which actually isn't terrible even though I wasn't a fan of that method a couple of years ago. I actually got a pretty quick response, but it wasn't really one I wanted to see: "Our poker depar
