1-18

played 386 hands
about an hour of 4 tabling.
$10 level
+$23

also played the 8.80 4 handed PLO trny. busted in about 10 hands. cripple hand. i frop str8. villian fropps bottom 2 w/3-5 frush draw that gets their on river. it was 3 way action. he was priced out i belive. or at least had yo know his 2 pr was no goot. but then again i belive the players are soooo bad they might have no idea. that's why i choose to play in it.

wasn't in much of a PLO mood today. sort of nice to be able to play different games. tried to watch a few D.C. videos' today. but with the play offs on today it was sort of difficult.

oh i also played a 9 handed PLO trny. omg the play was awful. i never picked up any hands i was willing to play though. guess i need to loosen up a bit for full ring??

here is 1 hand i ran into today.
