Out of Commission

No posts recently, haven't played as much, and now my computer has decided to go haywire on me, and is being repaired in " 10 business days". Which could mean a month. I am going down to A.C. this weekend to play some live tourneys and cash games, so hopefully I will have something interesting to report.

A Long time....

I haven't been updating my blog recently, but I am still plugging along online. Took down another Stars 180 Sit and Go two weeks ago, but that is my only win of note. Also my live play has been horrific recently, as I have absolutely been getting killed at 1-2 NL. I have been working on reconstructing my game online playing at micro-limits, with some success so far.

A few interesting notes:

WSOP---not much more to say, everyone I talk to says they go broke on my hand, given the paltry stack you start with in the 1500 NL. I just wish I had gotten more of the "experience" rather than getting bounced so fast.

HORSE---played HORSE at the MGM grand in vegas--most fun I have had playing poker in ages. I like playing other games besides hold'em

New Borgata Room--HUGE. Very nice as well. Only problem is that the floor is not ready nor capable of dealing with a room this size---seating and filling tables is a huge problem.

Good luck to everyone playing WSOP events in the next few weeks.

39 Minutes

Is precisely how long I lasted in WSOP event 2. AQ ran into pocket tens on a AQT flop. see ya. More later about my Vegas trip.

Cash game blues

Played some 1-2 No-Limit this weekend in A.C., and got creamed. One hand I think i played poorly was this one:
I am fairly new at the table, but I notice these two guys bickering. Guy one raises to 15, guy 2 calls, and I call with AK (first mistake, think i should have reraised). Flop comes A 7 6, checked to preflop raiser, who bets 25, guy 2 makes it 60, and I call, preflop folds. At this point I have about 140 behind, and after the turn blanks, Guy 2 sets me all-in. I need to fold here, i think, what can I beat? AQ? Anyway, i called, he showed a set of 6's, and the downward spiral began. I rebought, got Aces all in preflop against Kings, and the turn was an ugly K. The rest of the night didn't go much better.
Hopefully Vegas will go better at the end of the month!

slump and bump

Haven't had much to report recently....I have been getting bounced pretty early in most of my MTT online, although I have been playing NL cash games with mild success, both in person and online. This past weekend I was stuck in the hospital with a massive migraine, so needless to say that has curtailed my play somewhat. Hopefully I will be healthy and winning again soon. Until then, play good!
