1-13

well i played my on-line league again tonight. ugh. don't even ask. at least i got a few points. i mixed up my play though. i tried to trap a few times but they didn't take my bait. think i went out in like 8th or something. oh well.

now on to the exciting part of the night. i played the 4 handed PLO trny on stars for my 4th time. cashed. not what i wanted though. here it is:

Congratulations!
Thank you for participating.



i also went out after work today and got a lap top. i plan to use it pretty much specifically for grinding away on-line. so it looks like i will be getting that poker tracker OMAHA version in the next day or so also.

whats funny is yesterday i got an offer thru the mail from THE MIRAGE for FREE nights Sunday thru Thursday!! i honestly would rather just play on-line though. if i did happen to go to a casino i think i would just drink and play black jack like i did last august. oh, and i just got an offer in my e-mail from THE GATA' (BORGATA) in A.C. for like $59 a night.

but my plans for my vacation which starts the 23rd of this month is to grind on-line. moving up to the .10/.25PLO game. i am staying at .05/.10PLO till then to see if i can keep winning. yes it is small. but proper bank roll managment is what i am shooting for here. i feel invigorated playing the omaha. like when i 1st started playing NL.

so my goals for this year are:

1. keep watching the training videos on deuces cracked.
2. learn as much about plo as i can.
3. to be playing .25/.50plo by December.
4. play within my bankroll.
5. learn deuce to seven triple draw/single and start playing that at a winning level at micro stakes.
6. make silver star level on stars over vacation.
7. make gold star by the end of the year.
8. play 15 hours a week on-line.
9. make those 15 hours +EV hours

i think that is a pretty good list.

i am sure this is a pretty boooooring blog for any 1 reading it. but maybe when i start really PWNING. it will get better. :) oh yeah, i was also invited to play in a poker league right around the corner. think they have like 18 players. honestly though, really not up for it. it would be nice to meet more local players around here. i might drop in on that game every once in awhile though. who knows.

TTFN(yup that's ghey)
