plo is such a tilting game, tilted off like 1k today at $1/$2. I kept losing flips and not making hands etc, well you know how it goes. That got me annoyed, and the fact that I'm used to playing 10x+ the stakes (so the money didn't mean a great deal to me) I decided to pot pretty much every street for about 10 mins on 4 tables, luckily the players were so bad and I didn't lose more. I'm very annoyed at myself and as punishment I'm not gonna play 1/2 until I've made the back 1k at 50c/1. I've always had discipline problems, and I'm going to need to sort myself out if I want to play plo successfully!

I've not had a chance to play too much poker this month, played like 8k hands of nl and i dont wanna look at my pt plo atm, but prob around 3k hands there. I'm running at 10ptbb/100 at nl, but only up $15k, was up $40k after like 4k hands. Running bad at 25/50 and good at 10/20 isn't brilliant (but better than running bad at both i suppose!). Think I'll stay away from the tough-ish 25/50 games for a bit since i could do with some low variance winnings. I had been playing a few regs hu at 25/50, i def thought i had an edge, but it wasn't huge and varaince didn't swing my way, oh well. I also did a couple of dumb things.

This was a fun hand from one of the matches, the guy really had not been bluffing much either. Ship

The reason why I haven't been getting much poker in is that I have been busy looking for an apartment to move in to. It was my goal this month to move out. My plan was to do it right after I got back from uni, but I'm a lazy person and just put it off. I've seen a couple of nice ones and am going to come to a decision soon. I'm just going to rent for now, I know house prices are down and it's a good time to buy, but I don't want to invest too much of my money on something that I know very little about. I have also been told that house prices will still be down in a year or so anyway. I'm going to stay near where I live now, because I don't really see a reason not to.



I don't follow politics, never have, and it's doubtful i ever will, but I obviously have heard of this new UIGEA thing. I don't know too much about it, but it's not going to be good for online poker! There's a thread in high stakes on 2p2 with plans to form a lobby group to try and change things. I really hope those guys are successful, best of luck to them!


That's all from me for now, take care.
