Well did the photoshop deed to the necessary documents and emailed them to the woman today so got that problem solved which is nice to have off my mind. No work tomorrow in the lab so I am planing on putting in some solid hours at the poker table to whittle this bonus down. Got it down to 1600 FPP needed by noon Sunday so should be able to finish it off tomorrow or Saturday. Piddled around tonight playing PLO 25 with MVP. I have less experience at that game than any of the others so I figured I would work some on it. Didn't donk off too much funds in the process although had one bad hand where I flopped a boat with xx66 on a flop of 10 10 6 and got my ass stacked by 10 6 Q x. I don't know if I should have laid it down or not when I got reraised especially at the 25 PLO tables as he has to have the case 6 and a 10 but he damn sure did this time. Managed to eke out a small win over 734 hands. I'll post another hand here for any advice the PL people would like to give. I called a big raise and went ahead and went all in on the flop and ended up hitting but I haven't ran the numbers on it yet.

god damn I have been in worse poker funks but it has been a long time. i just can't get anything sustained. fizzled out in two freerolls at stars, both in the money but not much. damn 22 out of 811 for a measly 30.00 and 159 out of 1406 for 7.00. Managed to lose more than that at the O8B tables while playing. fuck i run bad at omaha. I got 66 more FPP to clear this damn bonus so I guess I will get to that and then try the last old timers freeroll at 8:30.
