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.
