It's been a while since my last blog post. Nothing all too eventful happend. I didn't play very many hands at all in April, of which I'm not happy about, but I needed to take some time off due to school and an attempt to up my social time.
This month I haven't played a bunch yet either, but I'm atleast thinking a lot about the game and learning a lot in the process. This week there is the CAPT in Innsbruck where I live. CAPT stands for Casino Austria Poker Tour. Most of you won't know it, but may have heard of CAPT Baden.
Fields are usually very soft and Austria isn't big so it's easy to get to all the events (takes 1 hour to fly from one end to the other). My original plan was to play all the Hold'em events (for a total of 5), but I've already skipped the first two due to online poker and uni. It's not a big deal though, because they had poor structures and they don't count towards the CAPT leaderboard ranking.
When I have some more time I'll work a little bit more on my PLO game so I can play some of these bigger PLO events. The PLO fields allways seem crazy soft.
So I'll be playing the 500€ tomorrow, the 1000€ on Thursday and the 2000€ Main Event on Saturday.
Friends of mine are already playing today and they say there is crazy cash game action. Apparently 1k and 5k is running. To put this in perspective, 1k is very rare in Innsbruck. The games that usually run are 1/2 and 2/4. For the records I'm already pre-tilted that the 5k game will be really soft and I won't be able to play it due to bankroll restrictions :P. As far as live cash games go though, I'll have have to wait and see if I'll play in the 1k games. I probably will some, but may not be grinding it hardcore as it's an ok spot, but it can't beat me playing 3/6 and 5/10 online across 6-8 tables with a lot less rake, nonetheless it's allways good for a change of pace and practice for Vegas in the summer, where I definetly don't mind playing live as much due to the ambiente.
As far as plans for the rest of the month go, I'll be playing online cash for the main part and trying to make sure I don't fall behind in school work. I'll admit that this semestre is one of my weaker ones, I'm sure there is some sort of correlation to the sunny weather, I just can't figure it out yet... .
