Recap

For those of you wanting to hear my LHE beats, sorry because I'm not going to relive that experience. Basically we played a 5 hour craps session and I was the DD so I was stuck hanging around my drunk roomies who later decided to play limit holdem with 4 old nits who were sitting just talking at the table waiting for a 5th person to join so they could play in hopes of winning the bad beat jackpot. The only reason we played LHE was because we had like 2 hours to blow before the breakfast buffet opened up that we got comped for as a result of our craps play. It was miserable.

I hate shortstacking with about as much passion as LHE. We came up with a $40/person prop bet in the house to see who could make the most money shortstacking NL200 over 2500 hands. I decided to play really loose in hopes of making a bunch right away and then tightening up, but I ended up losing $520. I would love to have those 3 hours of my life back. I have no clue how the ratholers do it. Every second that I was mindlessly clicking buttons I wanted to bust a Heineken bottle over my head and slit my wrists.

PLO is fun though...because I won at it! On Friday I went to Excalibur to play .5/1 PLO with my roomies and two of Ringer's cardrunners friends. The table got really deep really quick as money was flying all over the place, and pretty soon I had a $600 stack. I then doubled up FantasticDonk w/ my AAxx vs. his KT98ds which got allin preflop when we were 170BB's deep. Right before we quit I picked up 8s7d6s5c and raised UTG, got 3b, the super LAG on my right called, and I called obv. The flop came down 5s4s3d and I ended up getting it allin with superLAG who only had a bare Q high flush draw. My hand held and I ended the session up $550. On the way home we had the taxi cab driver stop at Walmart so we could buy Guitar Hero World Tour and we ended up playing that until like 7AM. I slept all day and woke up with the most ridiculous hangover thanks to all the wine I had the night before. I had started drinking whatever wine Cow ordered at the Italian restaurant we went to, and then continued drinking the house red wine at the Excalibur, which was quite disgusting but pretty strong so it did the trick at least. Anyway, I lounged in the pool for a while then went back to sleep, and woke up to my roomies wanting to go to the club Drais. We got a table there and it was pretty cool, although definitely not as nice as Tryst or Moon, but it is open until like 11AM. That works for my sleep schedule, which lately has been wake up at about 6PM, go to bed at 9AM. Gotta love Vegas.

On the online poker front, I'm having a pretty good month (knock on wood) but I have only played about 30k hands. I have been playing a bit more 6max lately as a result of not many FR tables running on Cake and it's been going very well. Honestly, I think the regs at 6max are worse than the FR regs. I think one thing that's really been helping me out is being able to verbally talk about poker with my roomies. I wish I had that opportunity back home because it's so nice to look at a HH and speak my mind, which a lot of times leads to me answering my own question. Not to mention how enlightening it is hearing other people's opinions on hands or situations and being able to talk things through to determine what the best option is. Anyway, I'm going to take a short nap before we golf today. Gee I can't wait to golf in 100 degree weather while trying to best my 123 that I shot last time, and trying not to completely donate my $100 that apparently I have to wager on the game. Whoever is not on my team is getting some free money, that's for sure.
