There will be other nights to lose money at HORSE, like tonight for example.
My buddy dave bailed on me this evening, so I played several hours of 2/4 HORSE. Ended up getting stuck about $160 in 1200 hands or so. I got absolutely coolered to start the session, then made a pretty decent comeback, then got kicked in the nuts to end the evening. This was the last hand of the night.

I need to tighten up my O/8 game a bit. After winning a hand or two, I end up playing bad two way hands like q1034ss and crap like that. My LHE game is coming along, if by coming along you mean getting run down by everything and anything, despite the fact that I play 1 hand every two rounds.
I cant for the life of me get a big pair to stand up playing stud/8. I need to sit down and run some two dimes numbers, but I think that something like KK10 is waaaay behind aj2 and 358, or so my recent results would indicate. I dont know if it is just unplayable if I am always going to be 3-4 handed or what.
Thank god for stud and razz.
