Well my name has been changed on Leggo from Hovadogg84 to Dogg11. The hova name was my long time UB name and also my 2p2 name, great name imo. Since I play mostly nowadays on stars and never on UB I guess I should go by my stars name, Dogg11. The Hovadogg name came from the guys who got me into online poker probably about 5 years ago. Bunch of guys who I'm still good buddis with introduced me to online poker and we would play after school with Jay-Z always blaring on the stereo. We called our poker crew the Hovaposse, there was Hovahouse, Hovabluff, HovaMoney, HovaHookey and myself the Hovadogg cuz my nickname was dog. Most of the guys still play and are all good players, pretty sure I've just ran the best.

Pokerwise things have been going alright eventhough I'm swinging all over the place in the Stars 10/20 game due to running bad and getting coolered. I've had multiple 20 buy-in downswings followed by huge upswings and then I've repeated the downswing. Pretty tough game and all the regs are very good so a lot of days it depends on who coolers who, etc. I've been playing on Absolute a bit and been dusting some cats there so things are financially on pace for a good month. I've also been playing a bunch of PLO and have been doing pretty well at 5/10 and 10/20. I've always played PLO here and there and I think I'm pretty decent. Hopefully I can make a PLO vid in a couple months when my game and thought process is a bit more refined. But the PLO games can be amazing, like actually huge fish at 10/20, it's sik. For instance the other night, I'm relaxing, getting into a fine bottle of red and playing a couple tables of PLO. This is how I've learned PLO, just relaxing kinda messing around eventhough I'm still trying hard and focusing a fair bit. In this game though, there was a total whale with a 44k stack at 10/20. In the 2 hours I played in the game he lost it all. WTF just hilarious. I think I got about 10-12K of it. Pretty good finish to a work day of grinding 6max NL.

I'd like to add that I also won my first round match of the MSNL HU tournament. I played TakeitBack who played well but I was fortunate enough to cooler him once with AA vs his KK in a 4 bet pot and win another match as well. I'll say thanks to AEJones who gave me a somewhat of a compliment in his latest blog post by saying that I was annoying to play against, much appreciated AE. I think I've played against the Man/Myth since my Party Poker 1/2 NL days like 4 years ago. I can remember me asking Aaron if it was the same AEJones who posted on 2p2, obv it was by whatever. Aaron spazzed out in the chat and told me to STFU so I didn't hurt his image with the fishies I think. Anyways, somewhat entertaining story I suppose.

Cheers
