March 2009 some random stuff

Today was fun for once, no tilt even though some of the beats I took with sets for my stack annoyed me I stayed calm and moved on. 


Much of this was to do with me switching off my HUD and being able to 20+ table. Ahhh bliss! You have no idea what a relief it is. I might have to ditch the HUD all together; it's a CPU resource nightmare and lagggs the crap out of my PC, adding to some unnecessary tilt all at the same time. Hence only being able to play 17 tables max, and that’s kinda pushing it. I'm not over exposed to excessive information and I can go back to how I used to play hudless using my intuitiveness and anal note taking. Yeah sometimes its nice to see that this fish is a ‘70/4’ drooler but its amazing what you can pick up with out that info burning holes into your eyes.

This hand was cool, its 100% the most satisfying play that doesn’t come around to often. Betting for value OOP for 2 streets when you know your opponent is likely drawing then letting him bluff at it when the river is a total brick (for him).

Been playing a tiny bit of PLO as of late. Its great fun and a welcome break from the daily grind. I'm not so good yet but I like learning. Its nice to sit at a table playing a game you know little about and still being better then the average joe. From what I've seen Its a much looser playing field and there is more gamble in it.

Anyway, I'm basically just filling this blog with rando crap from poker at the moment. I'm going to try and write a little something every few days or so.
