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

Live poker has been...
Wow, I was gonna make a stupid post about how live poker has been boring me lately and how I'd rather stay home and play 4-tables than drive half an hour to play 30 hands of poker... Turns out I just finished a short session of 150 hands on Stars and boom!...won $21 just like that!
I've been killing it on Stars lately (brag alert!) and I am up $40+ in less than 300 hands on that site. Coupled with my Full Tilt winnings from this month, I am up $81 for June, woot!
This almost makes me wanna stop playing until July 1st rolls around :D
A few hands for you:
I was hoping for a fold and I was able to suck out on the river.
I think it's the right move given my fold equity and 50/50 is what I was hoping for.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4398869
That sucked hard! I am just happy I didn't reraise him all-in.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4398870
The biggest pot I played tonight.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4398872
Lol, what a hero call. I had 2 seconds left before I finally clicked "Call".
I just relied on his click-tell (he instabet after my river check) and it just looked like a please-please-fold-to-me-pretty-please bet.

Laters!!

A good start to the month
So far June has been really great as far as Hold'em goes.
In 1000+ hands I've banked just about $50 which hopefully keeps going.
I've been playing more on Full Tilt recently and it's been treating me good.
Some of the hands:
He left without a word right after, can't blame him. I knew he had a big pair, but still don't know if I would have been able to fold on the coming river bet.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4366908
Lost to a good friend here. I'll get him back next time around XD
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4366913
Mmmmmmmkay, thanks!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4366919
Just me at my tilting best...I'm just kicking myself over this dumb move.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4366922
"I have a bad feeling about this". I really did...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4366925
Well, that sucked!!!
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4366928
A winning flop for once :D
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4366932
A lucky river for me and all is good.

Ban me from Pot-Limit Omaha!
I love PLO, the game is great, the action is awesome and shoving with multiple draws is something Hold'em can't offer.
Too bad I suck at this game....
I had a session of 3 NLHE tables and one 1 PLO tonight
The NLHE was 0.10c/0.25c and PLO was 0.5c/0.10c.
Would you believe me if I told you I was stupid enough to lose $24 on PLO and win the same amount on NLHE? Which all adds up to a break-even session $^#^%^$#%&^&
Please, someone ban me from this awesome game!

A good session
Recently I've been trying to get back into playing PLO (I know...) and I've been experiencing playing 3 tables of NL and one of PLO at one time.
This last session I played kind of mirrors my overall results, in about 100 hands, I lost $6 at PLO and won $13 at NL.
To the big hands:
This hand played itself. Was afraid he turned the straight but he took a while before calling so it was obvious I was good.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4227496
I guess he's trying to make some kind of Jedi call...
http://www.pokerhand.org/?4227499
Was that a good move? Even for a short-stacker like me at PLO?
My guess was that it was a good spot to double up, but I don't know better.

Month recap
Hey there
Not much online poker those past two weeks for me, lots of stuff going on and work ouf course.
I was able to play a lot at the beginning of April and racked up 1300 hands in short order but didn't put in another session after that, which all added up to a small profit.
Luckily I ended with a small bang after I finished 1st twice in our live SNGs this past week, which makes me feel good about my play.
I have been experimenting with a more loose/aggressive play recently and it's been working quite well I gotta say. Not that my former style wasn't working or anything, but being a tight player is just plain boring. Right now I tend to raise more from any position with a much wider range of hands and just try to outplay after the flop and make the right calls.
Hopefully the next post won't be as boring and I'll have a few HHs for you ;)
