still not playing sngs, and still playing mtts. i got 27th in the $10r/55k tonight, very close to a big win, 1st is over $14,000. there was over 1700 people in it tonight.
i havent been playing much lately, just havent really felt like it, lot of other things going on, and havent been in the right mind set. and when i have been playing, i have been losing a lot. tonight was my 1st positive night in a long time... feels wierd saying that, because a month and a half ago, almost every night was positive for a long period of time. i may have to go back to sngs again, if i dont start getting more consistant in mtts. mtts are just much more fun, so im gonna give it a fair shot. and even if i do go back to sngs, i will prob try and play 1 mtt a day.... i love the ftp $150 double stack.
ok, now for the slump buster.... lets hope this is the beginning of an awesome mtt run.
there is a tourney i tried about a week and a half ago, it is a pot limit omaha $22 rebuy with 10 min blinds, it is on stars, and i think it is daily. since my 1st time playing it, i played it 3 more times, and i always enjoyed the hell out of it. not only was it fun, but i cashed it 2 of those 4 times. AND tonight i won it for $3500.
the funny thing is, i really have no experience playing PLO, i have played it maybe 5 or 6 times, all for a short period before this. the funny thing is, the very 1st time i played PLO about 15 months ago, it was a live tourney with about 35 people, it was a cheapy (i think $25), but i won it too. i was so lost that night.
tonight's:

i have been saving up hands, a few from tonight, but a few from the past couple weeks as well. lets take a look:

i actually for a second thought about playing this because the big all in could had been an isolation reraise against the desparate shorty, but then i quickly realized, that dude shoved his chips super fast, and i have enough chips to wait.... so even though i thought about it, i decided quickly that it wasnt worth calling and hoping for AK. obv i am happy with my choice.

weak fold? i dont know.... 1st of all i had several tables going at this time so it made it easier to just fold it, kinda scary board, but is it in a raised pot? hmmmm... what do you guys think? just so much he could have here, and remember how bad the players are in these.

Well done and very nice laydown with the Queens, I probably go broke there.
You have an amazing ability to lay down hands... how often are your reads incorrect and you see suited connectors show up instead of AA, KK?
actually , i am not usually that good at laying down hands.. juswt was that day.
but sometimes i get mad about a bad laydown.... its key to not let it bother you though.
if you read some older posts,,,, you will see some odd calls i make too.
