The holiday weekend really screwed with my sleep schedule. I’ve not been getting to sleep until 4 or 5 in the morning lately, just lying in bed for hours wide awake. As a result, I’m waking up late, even for me. Maybe I can fix the problem with another three day weekend.
I’ve still been playing a whole ton of poker. Pauly has got me hooked on PLO, even if he did bust me once with a straight flush against my nut flush. I played a little bit of shorthanded 3/6 on FullTilt, and pretty much broke even. I think I’m going to have to start seriously playing limit again. Playing in Vegas, and the .50/1 blogger games, have made me actually enjoy it again. Not shorthanded, though. I love shorthanded NLHE, but shorthanded LHE doesn’t seem as much fun.
Last night, I had my first ever dial-a-shot, with Al and April. Ahh, soco. They were both playing razz on FT, Al on wireless from the bar, of course. I joined in, and lost a few dollars when I kept getting (A3)5 and bricking out. Other bloggers played, too. drizz, maigrey, change100, and others were there.
In the chat window, there was a message about a $10+1 razz MTT that Andy Bloch was going to play in, so I joined it. Also playing in it were drizz, maigrey, Wes, and Derek, who was at my starting table. I expected to play for a little while and bust out.
I didn’t see fourth street for the first 25 minutes, at least. I was getting awful cards, but not playing stupid and just folding. Finally, I starting getting some decent starters, and not completely bricking out, and all of a sudden, I had made the first break with a decent stack. I got a little short again, but then won a few nice pots (including doubling up with a 9 low against a T low), and then again shortly after when I made a monster. All of a sudden, I was the chip leader!
I played pretty solid after that, and got enough good hands to keep going. A little while after we made the money, I played one hand poorly, and then limped along and finally finished in 11th place (out of 131). Not bad. I think I need to play this game some more.
I also think my tournament luck might finally be changing (of course now that I said that… [attempt at mean gene‘s patented antijinx; does it not work because I said that?] ). First cashing in the 180sng at Stars, and now the Razz tourney at FullTilt. I think sweating Gamecock and JoeSpeaker has been helping. And they think I’m doing it for them. 😉
Tomorrow, if I’m not lazy (so probably won’t happen), I’m going to try to post a list of some poker goals for 2006.
