First off I wanted to thank everyone for all of their emails… it’s nice to see that so many people read and follow your progress. I really haven’t played much since my end of last week mostly because I hung out with friends all weekend but also because I wanted to start my weeks on Mondays for now on. I probably lost around 8k this weekend playing and ran really really bad in the cap games but it was bound to happen at some point.
I am still playing some of my best poker but it really is hard not to open up my game too much when I feel like I am running good. When things go well you sometimes feel like you can do no wrong.. which is true for poker and life in general. Just as long as I keep starting off my sessions tight and then adjust accordingly the game then I will be fine. I have played about 3 hours today and won a little over 7.5k. There was a really bad player sitting at 50/100 CAP PLO and i played him for a little which is where most of my profit came from (6,700).
I am going to head to Louisville on Wednesday to play some in the PLO game down there (10/25)(50 straddle).. golf with a friend on Thursday.. play Friday down there.. and then Saturday is the Kentucky Derby. I can’t wait to go since it will be my first time and it should be interesting since me and my 2 friends have NO WHERE to stay.. anyone have any ideas? All the hotels seemed to be pretty well booked for up to 40 miles away. So I am guessing our plan will be to go to the race then out to 4th street for the rest of the night. So with all that information it won’t take a genius to realize I won’t have as much time to play online this week as last. Today, Tomorrow, Thursday and some of Sunday. I still think i should be able to win around 20k though which would be great and hopefully another 10k in the live games(however, usually it is either win 30k or lose 15k) …lol.
I am going to try to talk about one hand every post from now on out but today I will just leave you with the biggest pot I’ve ever lost… luckily for me it happened like 6 months ago.. http://www.pokerhand.org/?2513213
Also, if you don’t get rakeback right now then email and I can help you out.
Enjoy Your Week and Good Luck,

I have always heard the poker games around the Derby are fired up. Seems like every year it sneaks up on me and I forget to go.
Good Luck
