Bleh

Just had a bad 200/400PLO session. Not HORRIBLE, but bad -- lost 266k. I'm going to at least review the hands I lost, and take a look at the rest later...

Ziig opens so loose UTG and this hand plays well and makes nutty stuff so I like repopping it in position with very deep stacks. Obv on the flop it plays itself.

Meh. There's almost another 100BB to play with if I call preflop, so I did. On the flop I'm 42% against AA**, and it turns out there are weaker hands in his range so I of course have to get it in. I run into a really good one for me but can't pull it out.

I like how I played this one. Don't think I can fold at any point, especially against Gus.

Standardish? I guess you could argue for a fold preflop, but with Gus in the pot and a fair amount of money behind I thought I should continue. On the flop I have 29% equity in a big pot and have to call of course.

This one is a bit of spew probably. I'm in a weird spot on the flop with stack sizes. Just flat preflop next time and avoid this I guess. Against a naked top two pair I'm 42% on the flop, his hand was a horrible one to run into though and I only had 16% equity.

Standard with these stacks vs Gus, 57% doesnt hold.

Gross. 68% pre, 93% on flop, 85% on turn for the lose.

Well, I think the games were good and I wasn't playing great. But I don't think I was playing terrible or anything and ran pretty far below expectation.

annnnnd NL fun! http://www.pokerhand.org/?3534237 88% shot at 113k pot whiffs

Oh well, I had been pretty hot lately and I'm still in a decent mood.

Tomorrow I leave for Florida to meet up with the Cardrunners guys and I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm going to order a new snowboard online today. I ride a little park, but mostly just look for the powder and am probably going to get a Burton Malolo (thanks Jamin for the recommendation). It's starting to get cold here and I can't wait to get back in the mountains.

i feel you think about the months too much in poker. it seems like u always play right at december 1, novermber 1, etc and try to get ahead "early".... or get a lil' lazy with hands later in the month if you do get ahead early. i think poker has infinite days and should be thought of as infinite. i think your psychological flaw is approaching poker from month to month results standpoint.

Most of those hands seem pretty standard at quick glance, but then again I think I monkey around too much sometimes 6 handed. See you in FL
