OK, I got my losing day. No way around it. -$270. I have been running really good for a while, so I took a shot at PLO8 200 with a full stack. I have played PLO 200 and 400 before, the great majority of the time with a short stack. So I took a shot at PLO8 200. The game is far more aggressive than the 100s even. I found that people are really willing to get it all in a lot more often. Positional advantage, while important at the 50s and 100s, is absolutely critical in an aggressive game. I made a couple of mis-steps, got freerolled and lost, and called a large river bet with second nut low in a 3 way pot that I should have known better to have done, so -$370 at PLO8. I made $100 back at PLO8 50. I will wait a while before taking another shot at the 200s and just get comfortable against the few aggros at the 100s. Still way up for the last few weeks, but it seems a recurring theme at BTP that the first of the month should be a day off.

This should help...I can suck all that bad jinxing karma right outta this journal.

Maybe I should just draw a headless smurf head. That seems acceptable.

I finished the weekend within a few bucks of even playing poker. I got cold decked bad, I ran good hi/good low into A-5 straight flush twice this weekend. The first time, I suspected it was coming, but I am not good enough to lay down or slow down with A652 on a A253A board. The second time he flopped it on a 345s flop, and I got quartered with AKQ2 with a K high flush.

Almost done with Doyle's bonus. I went into freefall at DR and am now back down to my original deposit amount. 3k action points to go.

Also, I started betting football games this weekend. 3/3, so off to a good start, +$240.

Edited for correct HH.

Never had this happen that I can recall. Got quartered at 7CS/8.
