One outer

I wasn't involved in this hand.
But man that's gotta hurt:

That guy was a total jackass too. He was tilting to death, raising every hand and insulting everyone who beat him in a pot.

I was on the receiving end of his last rant when I busted him with a set against his flush draw. He turned his flush but I rivered the FH, which is standard in PLO. I'd post the chat here but he's not worth it, although hoping that somebody dies ain't cool.

PLO is a streaky game

If I couple my NL and PLO gains, I end up with a small loss for July, maybe a buy-in or so.
I've run pretty bad in NL lately and I won't bother with my AA vs QQ busting preflop or KK vs AK, that's just standard I guess. That prompted a few tilted hands and light calls that I now regret.

I've identified a few leaks in my game as far as calling with marginal hands out of position and trying to hero-call when it's pretty clear I am beat. I'm definitely gonna work on that for my next sessions.

If I am not 6-tabling, I just play one table of PLO while watching TV or something. Last night's session was quite fun as I hit a couple of monsters, even though I only got paid off on the last one that's cool though.

EDIT: one last hand from my recent session. Sick sick sick.
I am up around $40 in my last 3 PLO sessions at $0.05/$0.10

Slow days

After my rush last month, I had a horrific session earlier where I lost about -$30.
Most of that was due to tilting after losing a buy-in with TPTK and have a guy with second pair call my all-in on the turn and river trips.

Not that I am losing my confidence or anything, I have felt like playing live a little more lately.
The results have been great so far, as at one point I was up $60 in three weeks,...until I lost $15 last night. My g/f wanted me to pick her up so I just donked off the last game, calling a push with K3 suited.

Anyways, I have upgraded my internet connection (which is slow as hell in tahiti) and that should ben taken care of tomorrow. I thought it'd be ready tonight, in which case I would have put in a session but too bad. If all goes well, I'll be able to play 6-8 tables very soon, mainly at 0.05/0.10.

By the way, after Full Tilt Poker's horrible out-of-beta anniversary software update, I'm gonna stick to PokerStars for a while. Lots of people have been complaining about crashes, lags, invisible cards and UGLY ASS (really!) small cards (try to shrink your table and you'll know it's impossible to multi-table on FTP these days). Hopefully those will get fixed soon.

See you
