Well its that time again for another blog update on what ive been up to so here goes.... First i will start off with my standard bitching about bad beats section of the week. Ill start by talking about how ive been playing great live poker and keep getting absolutely shit on by the cards. I havent been played any live poker in almost a week but its probably for the best as i think ive strung together like 4 or 5 losing sessions in a row. Three of the sessions were kinda small losses but in a couple sessions at the Wynn i was stuck over 1600 and over 1200. That might not sound like too much but to get that stuck in a 2/5 game is quite impressive haha, especially since the Wynn has recently changed their 2/5 game to a 1500 maximum buy-in, instead of no cap like it used to be. The weird thing is is that i feel like ive actually been playing really good poker but just everytime i get it in for a big pot i lose. I seriously played the best ive played in a long time the other day and still ended up losing like 500 and was actually stuck like 1600 at one point. Heres the hand i talked about at the end of the last session and it pretty much sums up how ive been running whenever i get it for big pots. The HAND-

Ive been at the new table for about an hour, the table is playing pretty tight, ive been raising quite a bit pre/playing a decent amount of pots, and am sitting with like 1800 or so when.....
Im in late position with 68 of clubs, 1 limper whos horrible so i make it 20, the button calls, the sb, bb, and the limper all call. So we have 5 way action to the flop with 100 in the middle. FLOP comes down J 9 7 with 2 spades. The blinds check and the limper who only has like around 100 left bets out a smallish/stupid bet of 20, i decide to just call to hopefully get at least another caller, to my suprise everyone calls. The TURN is a beautiful 5 and now everyone checks to me so i decide to bet out 115 into the 200 and the guy to my left instantly says "IM ALL In" like before i even finished betting out my chips. Well he called the 115 and shoved all in for 1k more! I obviously call pretty confidently as this guy was nowhere near smart nor competant enough to over shove the nuts. He has a set of 99s and obviously the river pairs the board with another J and the 2.5k pot gets shipped his way, standard. To make things even better, literally like 6 hands later i get this lady all in with just a J high flush draw against my KK for like a 1k pot, obviously spikes the flush on the river. I run well. After all that and being stuck like 1600 right from the get go i still managed to only lose like 400 or something and really shouldve had like a + 2k day. Ive just been running horrible whenever the money goes in in the big pots...... alright enough with my rant.

Other than running horrible at live poker the online scene has been going pretty well the past week. Ive only been playing PLO ranging from 1-2 to 5-10 and its been going good. I actually cant even recall the last time ive even played no limit online, been at least a few months since my last serious nl session. I think everyone pretty much knows how to play no limit now and the games are way tougher than they were over the past few years. Omaha though is still filled with bad players that really dont know what their doing, kinda like how the nl games used to be a couple years ago. So for now im going to keep grinding away the PLO online and playing nl live.

Well i was planning on putting up a few pics and talking about my weekend but this is getting way too long. Dont worry i still plan on doing my europe trip pics/summary and the porn convention with pics but am just kinda lazy. Hopefully ill get some kind of energy within the next few days and actually write up the summarys and put up the pics. Probably going to go play live tomorrow somewhere on the strip so check back for that and im out.
