So im off to Fla to play in a pro.  With 3 of my best members.  It should be fun i have not played in any pro ams withe these guys.  These members love to drink (im in trouble).   I did not want to go because i have been struggling w/ my game.  But i said why not just grip and rip it.

The cash prize for the pro if his team wins is 5,000 thats nice.  So i guess thats going to make try to play my best lol.  No, its nice going to be nice to get to some warm weather.  Ny has been cold to cold to play.

I have never ran so cold.  I am actually thinking about taking all of October off.  It seems that my cold spell is effecting how I play.  i am getting big hands but nothing seems to hold up.  Now I am afraid to play.

After finishing coaching with SGB5000 (kudos to him, he's a great coach who really takes time to analyze leaks and put you on the right track), played a few hands (not many, had a cold :/), but things are definately improving

Thanks Steve!

Not a whole lot to talk about I've had an annoying cold for most of this week and it's really been draining my energy.  I haven't gotten in too many hands due to just feeling really tired a lot and I've also been running pretty cold at the tables.  I can't seem to hit flops....ever.  So it basically comes down to playing board texture and double barrelling against certain players, I haven't really had much to show down so I've had to win most of my money w/o showdown.

Had one day early in the week where I just ran pretty gross having hands where I have a straight and the villain hits his flush, or I'll flop top two with AQs on a AQ5 board and villain has 55.  Nothin too fancy, hopefully I'll get over this cold soon and be able to grind more.  I had a lesson with Ray and I think it went well, we're just working on playing a pretty solid style and taking advantage of the bad play at 100nl.

 

Later.

I am running so cold right now...i understand people go thru cold streaks but wow.  I have taken a few days of came back ran horrible...took more days off came back ran even worse.  I am running so bad in allin situations i am in aww.  Here are the stats for the past couple weeks.  I don't mind being cold but wow i have never lost this many all in spots ever.  I am losing my 90% favs like i was the underdog.  I guess i am gonna stick to hold em for a bit or play some limit omaha hi/lo because i am sick of plo right now

Here is my luck graph:

Seems that the swings happen so frequently in PLO. How have you fought them before? Do you have any hands that you can share? I do like your posts and use then to build my knowledge of this game.

I think I caught a cold this weekend, I think its from sleeping a grand total of like 6 hours all weekend and waking up in a house that was like 120 degrees from the heater.  But hopefully its not something stupid, I think its just a little cold which is pretty weird for me.  I hardly ever get sick (knock on wood), last year I got the flu around this time, for the first time in my life, but other than that I don't think i have been sick at college other than a random cough or something, which is also quite ridiculous given how nasty some of the places I have lived are.

School is pretty dumb these days, its really really boring as all five classes I have no interest in, and I am just sitting there going through the motions.  Its also fun because as long as I don't get all C's I will graduate Magna Cum Laude, (can't get Suma, got a B- first semester Freshman year....), SO there is really no need for me to try hard at this point.  Also, the job search has been going ok, I have been interviewing with a company that seems pretty solid and will allow me to make my own hours, move around a bit and not be forced to come in and sit at a cubicle all the time.  

Poker this month was as good as I can hope for.  I am annoyed/dissapointed I didn't get to stick with PLO because the games are so much better than HUNL, but for the short run the switch back was probably a good decision.  I may try to play some PLO, but I just don't get to play much and learning a new game is very time consuming so I don't know how I feel about this.

 
I managed to play about 12k hands of NL, didn't do to well at 6max over a smallish sample, but crushed HU.  In HU, I won at close to 12BB/100 over only 6 or 7k hands.  On the month I played 22k hands, 3/4 were from PLO or 6max NL, both of which I lost at, but since my HU play was at higher stakes and I ran good/played really good, I was able to make a little bit.  Also, I ended both of my stakes for mutual reason, both of which were profitable, and I think I made just over 3k between the three guys that I had staked over the past two months, so that is pretty awesome, considering I was down close to 3k between the three a month ago.  All in all, it was a good month, I made a  bit between the milestone bonuses on stars, and assorted forms of rakeback which is pretty cool, (wish i could get real rakeback on FTP).  Anyway, here is two fun hands from the month, probably my biggest two.  The opponent is a pretty solid 6max grinder who has moved to HU as of late and is deffinately pretty solid.  Like last time, I don't wanna give any reads of anysort, although one might be kinda important but owel.  As of now he stacked me a bit and I was down close to 5 buyins against him across the two tables, he was running pretty good, and I made one bad river call, and one debatable one.  I also ran into some spots where normally I should have a ton of equity but wasn't doing so hot when we got it in.  KTs on QJx where he was capable of bluff 3betting my c/r and getting it in a bit light as well, but he showed up with AA here.  Anyway here are the two hands to swing the match back my way that I was able to finish up a buyin and a half or so.  THis match was actually quite intense and fun/frustrating at times as we were 200bb deep or more for the majority of the time.www.pokerhand.org/,www.pokerhand.org/.  Obviously they are super standard spots for him to stack off and for me to get the money in.  It was just pretty sick that i had clawed back, got some stacks and then had these two hands occur at the same time. 

Plans for Feb:  Play poker!! I know this is a lofty goal, and playing >15000 hands will be a stretch as school will be ramping up and it is senior year and everyone is all about hanging out/partying as much as possible, so I really only have a few hours a week at best to even get to play.  Outside of poker I'll have to think abit about what I want to do.

I guess thats about it,

Best of luck at the tables and good luck in February!!
