i’m probably not going to get another session in before i leave for Fla. so, while it’s all on my mind, i’m going to do the Feb recap this afternoon.
somewhere between the hand grabber and pokerTracker, i lost probably 700 hands or so, so the graphs and the PT stats are slightly skewed.
here’s the graph [...]
because tonight i just felt like i HAD to play. no room for learning, just get in there and mix it up while you’re underprepared. what a lovely idea.
with this mindset that’s bent on realizing and acting on combination draws i think it was quite like, errr, getting a new powerful tool - then spending [...]
here’s the lesser of the two posts for the evening. tonight i got involved in the following hand, and when it was done, the guy typed in “ouch”, and i told him that that’s just a hand you take on the chin. i had one like it last night, and there’s nothing you can do [...]
at least not according to the chat box tonight. i think i’ve been berated more today than for the rest of the month combined. i seem to have run into a lot of people that think you shouldn’t call their bets. it offends them.
Scene 1:
one player asked, “how can you call that?!?”
“you push the middle [...]
had a session last night, and like the one before it i ended up the night about 1.5BI ahead. so, i’m eeking back to my high of the month (i’m down a level, so i need another 3BI to get there).
first the bad news - i played, errr, not too well. the only reason i [...]
well, i played at different times throughout the day, and in the end i found several different ways to drop buy-ins and end up down 3 buy-ins. it’s a strange emotional situation, because i’m not mad. i’m disappointed in myself. odd. very odd.
i do know that it wasn’t a matter of getting my money in [...]
just finished drinking my “weekend’s end” pint(s). these of course come after my sunday night session at the tables, and they bring to mind my major disappointment with my game tonight. i can’t keep focus long enough to really get max value out of an evening!!
i think i’m playing the old man’s style of poker. [...]
we had some incidents at work on Monday that put me in a bit of a malaise. i think today i’m finaly breaking through the emotional gloom, but it took a week of paper-shuffling, backroom meetings, phone calls and assorted crap to get most things squared away properly.
on tuesday though i did have an impromptu [...]
and tons of tales to tell, skip to the sections that interest you most . . .
Parties:
i lucked out on the cooking/food front. there’s a couple of pounds of shrimp left over, and some celery sticks. but that’s about it. usually there’s soooo much left that everyone at the tavern is eating it monday/tuesday/wednesday and [...]
wow. lots of stuff going on, and i’m in epic-post mode, so be warned, and get ready to scan to the headline that interests you most . . .
Music - i did get some songs up, but they’re from a live set we did over the summer. you can find them on my Songs From [...]
