Since I have a fresh PTO database for this month I am going to set some goals.

For my PTO stats I want to
- see at least a 5% difference between my VP$IP UTG and my VP$IP OTB
- bring my flop and turn agression down to 1.5
- bring my river agression down to 2.0
- bring my WtSD up to 23
- bring my W$SD up to 57
- have my BB/Hand with A2 to be > 1.0
- bring my VP$IP with A5 down below 30
- bring my VP$IP with A4 down below 50
- keep my total BB/100 > 15

For general goals
- $400 worth of bonuses
- $500 playing PLO8
- $100 playing minis
- > 40 total hours
- > $20 / hr

Another fun session playing SHed at the Cryptos. Busted someone on a free-roll for an entire stack and he went all ape. It was very funny. Also stole a little under a stack from the weak tighties.

I also had a new experience, I played long enough for people to start playing back at me. Towards the end of the session I blew around $20 bluffing and getting called by garbage. I guess at that point I need to switch gears and tighten up a bit. It could also be that I finally started running into hands, but either way I think I should have tightened up earlier.

Eh session. I was very card dead and got sucked out a bunch but I managed to limit the damage. It isn't good when your top 8 winning hands of the day are these

1) Pair of 7s
2) Nut flush
3) Two pair (one was on the board)
4) High card Q
5) Nut flush
6) Pair of 7's
7) High card K
8) Pair of 4's

It is a good thing that I have been polishing my LAG skills.

Edit. I forgot to add the gem of the day.

****HAND ENDS****

Cryptos have been pretty dead lately. Most days there has only been 1 full ring game and it has had an average pot around $30. That OK for now because I am clearing the hourly bonus but when I get to start clearing the raked bonus I am not sure it will be worth it. I also really wish I could in get another SHed game.

I am starting to play LO8 again. I can make somewhere around $3/table hour bonus whoring .5/1 LO8 at Paradise, add in around $1/table hour from the game and I am making a decent wage at the game. The best part is playing them is brainless so I can focus on getting reads and playing well in the larger PLO8 game I am playing. I have decided to play these LO8 games instead of the SnGs that I had thought about earlier.

I am also thinking of hitting up the martins bonus. Once I have cleared the Paradise bonus I am thinking of using 2 martins $50 PLO8 or $25 PLO games in place of the .5/1 tables. I would have the same approach of playing ABC poker at the martin’s table and playing my A game at the crypto games.

So far this month is going as planned (which is great). I am up $350 playing PLO8 at $17/hr, $20 playing LO8 at $4/hr, $250 bonus whoring at $10/hr. These hours aren’t evenly divided so I am making a little under $30/hr overall across 20 hours. *knock on wood* I am a little ahead of all my goals now lets see if I can keep it that way.

Finally got a chance to play and all was going well until the deck ran really cold on me. Then I got a table image as someone who folds a lot because I was missing huge draws so I couldn't even bluff. Grrrrr.

****HAND ENDS****

At least I didn't have the club draw too, that would have made me really angry.

I saw that hand and was wondering what you had. I liked how you thought on the river for a while before folding. It made it seem like you were giving it some consideration. Hehe, I would have played it the same way including the slowroll fold on the end.

Got a in fairly long session and good session.

I played full ring ring and 3/4ed someone with a full stack. K 4 vs 9 3 on a board. I thought I was free rolling to but him with my flush draw and was a little dissapointed when I missed. That was until the chips slid my way.

Also got SHed again. Busted someone for a full stack with the nut nut. Then he bough back for $20 and doubled up with a K high flush vs my Q high flush + low draw. I battled him back down to $20 and he doubled up again on this hand:

Then the table filled up and became card dead.
