I’ve given some thought to it and I’ve given up PLO again. I change my mind about things very frequently but I think quitting plo is a good move. I don’t have the roll for 1k max buy-ins and, while there are for sure strategical advantages, I don’t like buying in for 200 dollar bullets. It’s probably recency bias but I don’t win when I do that. YES I REALIZE WHAT IM SAYING IS WRONG AND I SHOULD BUY IN SHORT, but I don’t like it. So I’ve decided to play the plo8 as much as I can, and if I can’t play that I’ll plsy 1-2 NL. I’m the best plo8 player and most assuredly be the best 1-2 player. I’ll try to recruit to plo8 from the NL. Sometimes idiots jump into plo8 so maybe I can help with that. Good chance they’ll be stupid.
I’m heading up to Fox tonight with the GF again. We are going to see the casino version of Price is Right and there’s a possibility we might try to get on there, but it’s a lot of time away from plo8. We will have to see the line I guess. Also getting another couples massage at that spa. My neck has been funky lately so I can use it.
Last week was solid. Annoying people were at roulette so I used the full 60 match coupon in one shot and I won. After checking in to the room I looked at the plo and while there were 2 tables, it was all bad. Glad I’m quitting. I played some 5-10 Omaha HL fixed the next day and lost 63 dollars. Sounds about right. One guy literally never folds preflop so I thought I had a chance. No chance for me.
That’s ok though because we got plo8 going right after. We got a few morons in there. How often does a random mostly clueless black guy waiting to check into his room just sit into this game? Mostly never. But he dropped 800 in a half hour and I got a good bit of it. I lost a big one with A3KK on a 2810 flop where I was the aggressor. Weird spot vs AAJ10 where Q9 ran out. I won 752 over 9.5 hours.
The next day I won 1295 in plo where I got 1k in preflop with 910JQ DS and I won. I was happy I won but it also reconfirmed that I can’t afford to play this game. Plo was pretty terrible after too but I still took a profit in it. I fucked up in the game where I had 2 hundred dollar bills and I actually had 4, but that’s because the previous session I had 4 and I forgot. It won me a good pot but still. I ended up winning 976 on the trip so I’ll take that happily.

Still 60-less
It’s funny how much you learn by being around casino people so much. How some of them do the dirt worst strategy of trying to angle you for money. If you don’t know the story of the black guy, read the previous few blogs. So the black guy(found out his name is Anthony) told me he would get to Foxwoods Saturday for bag/60 dollar exchange. I lugged the bag all the way there, on the bus and everything. So he texts me there and says he would get there Sunday afternoon aka after I leave. But oh hide the ticket so he can claim the bag when he gets there. Of course if I do that I have 0% of ever getting that bag back. So he never paypaled me the money and I didn’t bring the bag. The dance continues...
Other stuff was good. I won the roulette using 45 in match. I forgot to bring the Naked Fruit Protein drink for the gym so I used the 15 match for 3 of those. I played plo pretty late. Game was ok but couldn’t get much going. Lost 87 dollars and went to bed around 6am. Usually I like to go to bed earlier so I can do gym and plo8 but I worked out 3 times last week already and could miss a day. I indeed missed that day but was in time for plo8. Kind of a middling session until Cancer Bruce got me again. He ALWAYS GETS THERE ON ME. If I have the draw, I miss. He has the draw, he smashes. He did it again for like a near 1600 dollar pot. All I can do is hope he is dead by the time I get there this trip. I got a guy who was semi-bluffing in a 1600 dollar pot(semi-bluffing on the flop and turn, pure bluff on river since he missed) so like even between the two. I still lost like 568 over 10 hours. I got 3 orders of wanton soup and watched Smackdown before bed.
After gym the next day I played PLO for 50 mins and won 42 bucks. But we got plo8 going again. I was down 400 pretty quick on a dumb play I made. After that I decided to just be more aggressive, and I made hands. I ended 2033 in 8 hours. Pretty sure that’s the best I’ve ever done. Excited to get it going again Friday and hopefully can do at least partially as well. After that I played plo and had mixed success. Still a win in there though. It would be funny if Anthony was there giving me retarded excuses.

Coulda lost it all on Wednesday
Are you all aware the stock market suffered a massive loss this past Wednesday? I sure did. Even though I pulled out a couple days earlier I still had the money sitting on the sidelines just in case. Everything got brutalized. Even though it recovered somewhat on Thursday, I would have seriously lost like all my profits if I didn’t pull out. With that said, I’m back in now. I have a pretty decent sized position in Verizon as a long term thing and WWE as short term. I keep hearing people talk up Allibaba as the “Amazon of Japan” but I don’t trust it.
Poker was pretty good last week. Larry borrowed 300 from me(bringing the tally back up to 600) and he says it’s fun owing and that I like it too. I don’t Larry! I really don’t. But whatever. I won 981 in the game. I lost a SICK hand early in plo8. I had A236 on a 336 board vs A357. Turn 2 river A. Quartered. I’m surprised the 7 didn’t come so I lose it all. But it’s ok! I’m in that game for the long haul.
PLO was alright. Over two sessions I won 374 over 11 hours. I ran into the black guy again from two blogs ago. He said an “emergency” came up so he couldn’t meet me to exchange bag for cash, but I’ll see him this Saturday. I have the bag on me now. Let’s see how this goes. If he’s a super typical casino scumbag he will say he’s short the 60 but still want the bag back. He will not get it if that’s the case. Anyway, Let’s Go Pens. Oh and I decided to maybe play 1/2 again while I wait for plo8/plo just to get hours and keep myself occupied.

Get in MY GAME you fish!
Blog a bit later than usual this week because it was opening night of the Penguins and we had a group together at Foleys(aka the Pittsburgh Penguins bar in NYC). We won the game 7-6, but it went fast even in OT. I think if I said my goodbyes quicker I could have made the last bus to Foxwoods but I would rather socialize plus I cancelled my room for Thursday. Gotta work on that defense, Pens.
Last week was very very good. After a very quick plo session, plo8 got started. Frankie Flowers made a rare appearance and did well until he started giving it away. He made a new best friend with this person I call White Hat Guy. Big Jeff ran like garbage and his QQ with no low on a Q84 two heart board lost to both of them when an Ace and then a heart ran out. Disgusting. I just played and played and didn’t let their antics get to me. Cancer Bruce came in and I had to do breathing techniques. I literally said SHANTI like the guy from WWE. It worked. CB went nowhere in the game which I loved. I went to the lounge and the game broke because Larry went broke. Flowers and WHG left before that. +24 in PLO 25 mins and +1321 in plo8 7 hours.
I went back to plo after a bit and was stuck pretty big. I just ran bad...and then suddenly ran good for one big hand. It was goes 5 way for 25 and I call in the big. I had 57910 with hearts. Flop comes out 568 rainbow. I pot. Small stack shoves. Big stack reports. Obv I’m in there. Turn Q..river A. Runner hearts! Scooped a big one. Short stack had a set and big stack had 67910. Good runout for me. Perfect timing too since they were about to move me to the main game with nits and it was 3am. I can’t even imagine a better spot to go to bed. 598 win in 5 hours 20 mins.
Next day started out like crap. Lost 569 in plo over 3 hours. White Hat was in the game but he was asking about plo8. Obviously I’m all over that. We got a list going and actually got it going on a Saturday! He was like a child and I had to assure him the game would fill up. Literally it was a grind getting him out of his plo seat to play. After like an hour it was full. James Woods is becoming a regular in the game. Game was super good. Won 591 in 8 hours 20 mins. My friend Helen even jumped in and she usually plays like 150/300 mix. I won a quick 77 bucks over 25 mins in plo to cap off the night. Over 2k win on the trip..love to do it again this time.
