Yesterday session went OK

August 3, 2008

Managed 68 various low stakes Omaha 8B games! Shocking.  Sadly didnt record any of the bad beats – but will from todays session.  Were some little coolers, like AA2x vs AA3x with AA3 scooping.

I want to try and do nearly 100 games today. Definately should be some worth posting.

Current P/L: +$350.75.

PS I also got my silver star at the end of last month! *yay*

Im back from Holidays.. and a new session begins today

August 2, 2008

Here I go….. played a few whilst on holiday, will put on my spreadsheet – but no big wins or loses or sessions… This session I want to play 50 3+40 Omaha 8B 10 man SnGs, it could be costly.

A day off ahead

July 24, 2008

Im going to take a break – got some University work to complete.

Not got any awsome hands to post from yesterday  – but overall the play was OK:

Played 42 of 10 man Omaha 8B PL Turbo 3,40 – won 8, second in 3, third in 3.
Played 8 of  18 man Omaha 8B NL Turbo 3,40 – second in 1, forth in 1.

Current P/L: +$279.30

Today is over

July 22, 2008

Vill “All the chips are going to that guy on left”
Hero “Yes, well you did play Ah2h”
Vill “Well I did right click Sit Here after the chips started moving over the table ……. I dont get it”

Today’s session is over, recovered a little. Tomorrow is a day off – I booked myself into that PS 2x 40% WCOOP bonus at cap too – $239.99 bonus 400FPP’s away.

But, as I approach 500 games my spreadsheet tells me, aswell as being up $229, iv paid $206 to the rake.

P/L +$229.50

It’s all going wrong

July 22, 2008
22nd July - going wrong

22nd July - going wrong

So I didnt post yesterday becuase I was on anger mode button pressed!!!!!

I had stepped back from the 15’s to the 6’s as below…..  Great fun… was doing ok – then hit a horrid 10 game slump!

So tonights session purely (so far and will be) Omaha 8B 3+30 10 man’s *AGAIN* – going to have to take a few more days of these stakes before stepping up….. and this time to 6+50, when im happy to lose 20 x 6.50 at that stake! Variance pwned me.

I blame the credit crunch though – stupid banker people. (My sharkscope is ruined!)

Current P/L: +$227.30

Ok, so confirmed bad idea to quiet play aces

But me think how many cards were ’safe’… not many – but more than 25%!

Well still not going great… but there might be a glimer

July 20, 2008

Nearly at the end of this session, even after stepping to 6+50 Omaha 8B im still struggling.

I just lost a tournament in 4th – from being being leader, to null.  I guess I cant blame the cards completely! Im just not on form.

Though the tournament im playing now might go better – especially if they’re all as stupid as the two nutcases below (second hand) and I have as much luck dodging!

I was only playing this hand quietly as early position hoping for a raise. Should do this more if I find these guys again!

That stepup did not work out so good

July 20, 2008

So,

I dont think im *quite* ready for 15+1 Omaha 8B turbo yet, I did some 6+50 Omaha 8B turbo before stepping up and they were going OK – but all in all lost $80 at 15+1 – I think a bit more practise at 6+50 first and a larger bankroll required.

Though I did win one, second in another, and bubble in two – so I wasnt a huge fish, but my bankroll at the moment wouldnt be able to take much more than loss of $150 comfortably!

Shark Scope

Shark Scope

This summer I started playing poker a little more seriously.

I played just less than 400 $3+40 Sit n Go’s Omaha 8B’s on Stars and made about $325US (about 4 weeks work).  I would have made more money working at mcdonalds.

The sharkscope below shows – it bought me back to even.

Now iv stepped to the $15+1 to try and make some money…..

Lets see how bad it goes….
