I should really stop going to Chumash to play poker, and just stick to playing online. The past few times I’ve gone, I’ve lost a bunch of money at the casino, and then immediately won it back online when I got home.

The first place win in the tournament in my last entry (plus my ring game winnings while I was playing the tourney) made up for what I lost that night. I went Friday night, lost a bunch of money, then made it all back playing 2/4 at Stars. I played in a $60 NLHE tournament Sunday, where the top 50 of 140 paid, and failed to make the money. I went home and came in 6th of 230 at a $10+1 at Pacific poker, and made $130 (and got knocked out when my AK ran into AQ, all in preflop, Q on the river). Maybe it’s just a bad luck streak in person, or maybe I don’t play well when others can see me. I know when I bluff online I’m screaming at my computer screen for someone not to call. I don’t think I’m quite that obvious in person.

Last night I placed 4th in a PLHE $10+1 at UB, with 150 players. I hadn’t really played PL before, but the strategy isn’t too different. I put all my UB payout images here now. I also played in a $15+$1.50 at Pacific, but could only see one of my cards. It was the weirdest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Click on the image for a bigger version.


I had more to say, but I can’t remember any of it now.
