PLO Tournaments are fun...


It has continued to be fairly quiet on the poker front, as I have just been grinding away at the various bonuses...Some bad beats coupled with a decent rush at the 100NL has me about even for the past few days.

I friend of mine (Briachek) and I decided to try a 20 buy-in PLO tourney last night...He didn't last too long, but was nice enough to hang around all night and help me out on my way to a 3rd place finish. PLO is certainly not one of my better games, but I am picking it up slowly. Thanks again Bri...I think I pick up around 130ish for 3rd, but damn, I was sure tired in the AM! That 2 in the morning stuff is hard on an old man!

The above adventure was a night or two ago, as last night saw me back at the bonus grind at Pokerplex; I had some rather dismal short term results losing a stack in rather short order. It has been awhile since that has happened!!

Back to the grind...

It has been awhile since the last update, and still without a helluva lot to say! For one of the only times in my life, I have not been feeling well for quite a little while, so for the first time in 10 years, I am going to the doctor later this afternoon. It sucks feelin' like shit all the time with no energy--- so hopefully it will be an easy fix. I haven't had any thing worse than a head cold in MANY years...

I am feeling much better now though... Since I was feeling better the other day, and managed to get in a few hours at the 100 NL, but proceeded to get my ass kicked-LOL it figures! I still have TONS of bonuses to get thru this month, and with the 3 day weekend coming up, hopefully I can bang 'em out as quickly as possible. I have been doing a lot of reading, and have finished several books in the last couple of weeks. All I can say is, it is no wonder why the USA is so hated in so many different countries. Political commentary is not my specialty, so I will leave it at that.

BR Jan 1st---5000
Mid Feb---5700
It will be nice when Martins kicks in!!

It has been a week or so between updates, as I have not had much to write about. I have been just grinding away all week, mostly at Martin's, with little to show for my efforts. Obviously the bonus is a sweet deal, but I doubt if I have had a winning session in several days!! Nothing severe, just buy in with 100 and cash out with 80-time and time again!! Frustrating as hell, but certainly not the end of the world. I also got a 50$ reload from gaming club that I have to finish by the 5th...

It has been frustrating enough to keep me from putting in the usual hours, but I have been getting A LOT of reading in, so it has been a good trade-off. I will have several reviews on the latest reads later in the week. It is rainy and dreary here, so I started a pot of split pea soup a little while ago, and looking forward to that (if you don't use a smoked ham hock in that soup, you just don't know what you are missing).

Hard to believe February is almost here---Spring isn't that far away now, and I am already looking forward to getting a small garden going...
