What's Your Edge

I am having a decent month being up 50k 1/2 way through. I have made some big comebacks in PLO where I was stuck 70k at one point this month to break even. The rest of my winnings have come in NLH. I am also up slightly in 50/100 PLO which hasn't happened all year so thats nice. I hope some more 50/100 PLO games run so I can get some hands in.

I have still been spending alot of time analyzing my PLO game trying to determine where my leaks are. I think I have made some big strides this month and hopefully I can keep this momentum and have a nice 2nd half in PLO.

Last night I played some 50/100 NLH at UB. The game was really good as there was a guy who is just "an average 25/50 player, whos breakeven at best". He used to be good but since online poker is so much tougher now he sucks. I really doubt this player has money to play 50/100. I think hes just taking a shot as I "don't see him playing poker anymore." He also ruined online poker and is the reason why I have had a breakeven year of poker. It has nothing to do with my own play and the fact that I have primarily played PLO a game which I am not very good at. Basically the dudes a donk and I owned him.

Some donks just don't fold.

wow

hahah, weird plays by taylor.

I really hope that you will get your PLO game going and get back to the big games..

Brian, for the next mondays HU video, could you ask the opponent before you play with him that is he willing to play with you whole that video so you could get better read of him.. Last video it was little frustrating when the right side guy left after 35mins and you had to start a game with a new guy.

Thanks.

Fire

Hey Brian,

I hope that your house is okay with the fire right now in Santa Barbara. I live here and it got pretty intense down in the mission canyon area. Not sure if you are out there or maybe Hope Ranch area.

Thanks for all the great videos and blogs.
