Weekend is Over :(
I think they should seriously start considering at least three day weekends in general. It seems to me that friday always goes by just laying around after mindnumbing weeks worth of work and then on saturday you just get wasted in some party or so and then you spend the sunday recovering from that...
Yeesh... Enough about that. I spend yesterday playing couple of home game tournaments with some friends in the center. First we played Texas No-Limit tournament with 10 participants and I ended up finishing at 6th place after pushing all in with pair of queens after seeing a ten high flop. The only opponent that was in the game bet 700 (7 * BB) after the flop and I figured that he tried to buy the pot there but unfortunately he had a set of deuces :(
Then we played a round of Seven Card Stud with 6 players who were left and once again I ended up dropping out early (5th) :( Nothing really to report about that. Just played one hand too aggressively at the start and then didn't really get anything proper to play with.
I think that the biggest problem with these home games is that you generally get to see only a very small number of hands and whenever you get something you basically need to play it quite aggressively unless you have big enough hand for slowplaying. Well... Still the more skilled players usually are able to get more chips out of the opponents in these situation anyway so I guess I just have to keep on training ;)
Oh, almost forgot. When I came back yesterday from playing I decided to show my Omaha Hi/Lo skills on PokerStars and ended up donating 15$ on the micro limit table. Live and learn. I guess I'm just a bit hard headed about this issue since I don't seem to realize that playing Omaha drunk is not propably the brightest idea ;) Not even in micro limit tables...
But. Something good came out of that too. I decided that I will start training Omaha Hi/Lo on PokerStars the same way I've been doing with Limit Hold'Em on Party. Now I just have to figure out that what would be the proper buyin, bankroll etc levels to be able to raise the bar somehow in a 'controlled' way.
Ok. Now I'll play some Limit Hold'Em on Party and then get to bed... Current situation: 136$ so still 64$ needed to get to the next level...
Good Night! Don't let the bad beats bite!
