What's Your Edge

 
Brian Townsend : Poker Blog
October 12, 2009
 I have been in Dallas for some Stoxpoker meetings.  Its great to see everyone again, and even meet some of the guys I hadn't met before.

As for poker its going great this month.  I have been playing alot of HU PLO with amazing results at 200/400.  Unfortunately I have been getting crushed at 25/50 PLO.  In my last 3k hands at 25/50 PLO since I got that money online I am stuck 53k running 78k below allin expectation.  But I can't complain because the opposite is happening at 200/400!  Its so nice to run hot while playing bigger.  In total this month I am up 275k playing PLO.  I hope I can put in the hands and get unstuck at 25/50, I think that would be good for me to focus on that game while playing.

I am really starting to improve in some of the games I am weaker in.  I am really proud but I am now a lifetime winner in the 75/150 games on stars over like 10k hands.  I would guess 75/150 on stars is the toughest ring O8 game that consistently runs so I think its a really good sign that I feel like a winner.  Overall in O8 I am still a big loser but I do feel like I am turning the corner.

Stud has been going amazing as well and I am up over 100k in about 5000 hands this month.  Hopefully its not just me running hot and I am starting to learn and improve.

I had a big blog entry finished, but the entry was deleted and I am way to tilted to fix it.  Sorry we will have our blog networked fixed soon and I will blog more consistently.  Its just so annoying spending 30 min writing something only to have it deleted right as you try to publish it.

Maybe you should do a video of some of the fixed limit games? Even if you feel like you are still working on your game, it would be interesting for those of us who are learning the games. I for one have been interested in those games for a very long time but play only occationally.

Notepad

Write your blog into notepad or something simular. Then copy/paste into the blog entry.

i had that happen once and wiggins told me that it autosaves -- you just have to go to manage blog on the right and you should see a saved but not published entry.

good suggestion by klaphat, though. it took two dashboard stories being lost before i started writing everything, no matter how small, in notepad first. :)

Always write the blog in notepad first just incase this happens/firefox crashes or w/e.

Amazing, up \$1.1M! Sick! UPDATE YOUR BLOG.
(Sorry for the yelling.)

Holy crap I just read it was all at $200/$400?!!? I thought it was $500/$1000 and you were probably sharing action but maybe not.
