SHIP THE CHEESE!!! PLO=+$534.......WPT on tv....

LOL...I'm still running decent and also playing good at the same time....Today I played another session of mixed $1/$2 and $2/$4 Pot-limit Omaha....I quickly got in the game for 2-3 buy-ins due to a mixture of misplaying my hand or having it outdrawn. But I pulled myself together and manage to book a small win on the books. After continuing to study the PLO videos at CardRunners....I was able to play many hands and understanding why I make certain movies against different opponents...I mean...it opened my eyes to the games itself...everything seems to clicked....In this session...I was able to read my opponents on the table..for ex....I read which players were going broke with Aces no matter the flop texture and also who likes to push on draws....armed with this new information...I effectively played much better against my opponents.

While I was playing online...I was watching the WPT Feista Largo tourney(I know...bad idea..I should be focused on the game)...I must say...watching Joe Pelton making his 2nd WPT final table gave me a new sense of respect for his game(even tho..he made some horrible calls in this paricular tourney).....I mean winning his first title had been considered luck by many ppl....but making a 2nd final table is also pretty hard too...so bravo dude.

Oh well...on another note....this is the 3rd straight day I kept my blog updated....so far so good on my promise...lol......well...I'm gonna hit the kitchen for some midnight snacks and then head straight to bed....Be safe folks.

SHIP IT!!! Online PLO=+$837....CR Education=Priceless

Yup...I said "SHIP IT"...lol.....I just finished a session of $1/$2 and a little of $2/$4 Pot-Limit Omaha and I'm up $837....not too bad...it could have been way higher if my flopped nut straight held against my 2 other opponents drawing for the same flush draw and If I didn't flop mid-set against top-set!!! What really helped me today was re-watching all the CardRunners PLO videos by the pros and constantly reevalute my game with their teachings....while not everything they explained is perfect....their goal is to open your mind to many different situations in the game and how to tackle them. It was amazing by watching the PLO videos again while playing actually improved overall my game alot. CardRunner is an excellent site that everyone should look into before jumping into online poker games....nuff said.

In other news....Apples decided to lower the Iphone prices so that they can achieve their goal of selling over a certain amount by the end of Christmas....Arrrg....apparently alot of current Iphone holders(including me) were very upset about our early support for the company by purchasing the device early that they flooded the internet with e-mails to the CEO of Apple...Steve Jobs....that he decided to give all current Iphone holders $100 credit at either a Apples store or Cingular store that is good for the phone bill to show the companys appreciation for our support...so I'm lookin forward to the extra $credit soon.

Also..I'm planning to head up to A.C. again to play in the $250 or $500 super-satellite tourney for the WPT event at Borgata on Sept 16th.....plus the bonus of many cash games being available due to the tournaments....so if any of you are heading up there let me know.....Peace.

Playing Bad.....School....Redskins...and Patriotism

Hey folks.....It's been 6 days since my last post....I'm just trying to regularly update my blog like I promised myself in my last post. Well....let's see....I had my $1/$3 NL game last Friday and Sunday.....it ran pretty well....except one thing......lately I been playing so badly in NL that I would dump a rack or two at my own game(a rack equals to $500)....which is pretty bad and hurts my bottom line at the end of the day for me. How am I losing that much.....as I been playing mostly PLO online....my live and possibly online no-limit game has deteriorated to the point of non-existent.....I know it sounds crazy, but I used to play pretty decent or truthfully....just about below-average. But now my leaks is visible to everybody....playing out of position(especially with horrible cards..ex-"it's suited")....calling bets/all-in when I know I'm beat.....also I am running a little bad as I type this post....but mostly playing bad overall. I took the liberty to stop playing for a couple of days and just relax....and also to read several decent NL books to refresh the finer points of NL theory and strategies. Hopefully, this will slowly turn my current streak into the positive swing.

Uggghhh....college started again...what can I say....I do need a degree...so plenty of studying and completing homework/projects on time for each of my classes....LOL.

In sports news....Redskin won their season opening game against the Miami Dolphins....16-13.....close game....but I don't care.....so SHIP IT!!!! I actually won a $40 bux straight-up bet(no unders or layovers)...just my home team kicking the opposing team ass.

Finally.....today is September 11th.....its the 6th anniversary for that tragic day that killed thousands of our fellow Americans.....time to reflect how lucky for those including us that didn't lose any family or friends.....these kind of events shows how poker however rewarding and fun should always be second to families and friends in the list of priorities. Also, I wished to give a shout-up and salute to our brave men/women in the U.S. Military that are currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting for our freedom and destroying terrorists that wish us harm......OK...enough rambling from me....good night and GOD BLESS YOU FOLKS!!!!

Turned 21 and being Alcoholic......Plus stepping down a limit in Poker...

Wow...can't believe its been over 2 months since I last blog....I'm sorry if any of u folks that have been reading my blog was disappointed that I don't regularly update.....well...that changes from now on....In other news....I recently turned 21 on Sept 2nd.....it was fun since I went up to A.C. to play some poker and drink the night away......poker was so-so.....but the competition was absolutely horrible....all those stories about the easy games in A.C. were true!!! Unfortunely...they did not spread any $2/$4...$5/$10...or $10/$20 PLO games down there....it was actually a disappointment to me since I wanted to test my skills in a live game.....I drank alot and ate alot of fine meals(lobsters....steaks...veals...more lobsters)....mostly Caeser was where I played poker with my buddies....it was an ok casino...but I really wanted to visit the Borgota cause everyone was telling me it was the shit...after 9 hours....we head home and I just fell asleep at 1pm.

Right now....I'm stepping down to $1/$2 PLO from $10/$20....$5/$10...and $3/$6 PLO....to slowly grind back up not because of any bankroll issues...but to get back my "poker hunger" to win and also to practice being disciplined in playing starting hands in positions....lately I have been "bored" with poker and my bad playing of certain hands/positions has shown....I been lucky so far in the fact that I either get there or my opponent has a massive draw and not get there.....Thats not how I play poker and I voluntary decided to sorta "punish" myself till my game is retooled and refined. So far as I type this blog....I have won 6 buy-ins at the $1/$2 PLO level and I'm pretty happy with my game. I think winning 6 more buy-ins in the next couple days should be enough practice for me and to move up to $2/$4 PLO. Well...it was nice updating this blog....gotta head to bed and get ready for class in 2 hours...lol.
