I've been playing a bit recently and it's insane. I've had tilt problems in the past and playing hu plo seems like a great cure. The swings are like nothing I've ever seen and my theory is the more i expose myself to variance, the better I'll be able to handle it. I have been tilting a bit, but I think I had to expect that. Here's a great hand..

hmm so yeah, better stop doing that if I want to still have money!


I'm breakeven for the month so far at plo. I've only played about 10k hands though. I ran reeeaaallly bad at the start and am coming back now. I'd post a graph, but I can't get poker grapher to recognize my plo database, only the nl one comes up (any ideas anyone?) I think I've improved q. a bit as well which is good. Hopefully in a couple of months I'll be able to play high stakes plo, adding another dimension to game selection.

Oh yeah, got dealt my 1st ever royal flush yesterday!!

outside of poker...

Passed my driving test the other day, was so relieved. After failing 5 (may even be 6) times i felt like i was never gonna pass. Wanted to give the examiner a big kiss when she told me, but i restrained myself. So I'm looking to get a car now. I don't want anything too fancy, even if i wanted a "balla" car i doubt anyone's gonna give me insurance for it. Problem is I don't know too much about cars so gonna have to do some research.

But before I do that, I'd like to get my apartment sorted. Can't remember how much I've talked about this in previous entries, but basically I found one I liked, but I didn't like some of the furniture/carpets etc. Well I have been waiting for the landlord to get back to me about that, but she didn't seem too keen about changing anything. I'm having 2nd thoughts about it myself tbh. It has a great location, but it seems q. posh and that's not really me. I did find another one i like though. The location isn't as good, but it still has a very good location. It's a nice place and I like the decor. Think I'm just gonna go with that, seems like a lot less hassle.
