Pokahhhhhhh

Well well well....it's been awhile eh? Quite awhile at that. The online poker's been slow, and honestly, it's just cuz grinding out 9-12 tables to make between $6-$10 an hour kind of sucks. I found a nice solution to that, although it makes the blogging more difficult.

I've been logging live hours at Foxwoods. Been doing pretty sick too, so far I'm averaging 4.5 big bets per hour at $2/$4, so making decent loot. Just need to get more hours racked up. Mohegan Sun's poker room opens soon, less than a month, and I'm excited about that. First of all, they're sticking to more traditional limits, and $3/$6 will be their lowest limit. That instantly translates to an extra $9 an hour, not a bad raise, for just a slight increase in blinds.

In semi-unrelated to poker things, my computer's been through hell, and that doesn't help. Some of my awesome programs, like adobe photoshop, corel draw, and pokertracker are toast and that sucks. I have tracker back, but my entire database is gone, and without that what good's the program? Guess I just have to start rebuilding.

Of note, I have been playing a little bit online lately. And I must say I've been experiencing consistent success, basically playing straight out of Supersystem. My roll was vaporized, only $37 in it, so I took to the $.01/.02 NL tables. Basically playing very LAGy, if the pot's unopened to me, opening with basically any suited connectors, big broadways, or pairs. Then firing a pot-sized bet on the flop, and adjusting my decision to double barrel or back off on the turn based on various factors, generally how draw heavy the board was and if that draw hit. If no, fire another pot sized bet on fourth street. I'd say probably cbetting right now around 90-95% of the time. It may honestly be 100%. I've been going in overdrive, but it really seems to work. I start with a big raise preflop, no 3x bb BS from me, I make it 5x bb minimum, more for limpers, probably 7.5-8bb for one limper and 10-18bb with 2 limpers.

And here's the thing, I'm managing to play like this on 9 tables at once. It's honestly hard to play that aggressive at that many tables. But it's fun. It's more active than set mining, and I'm doing well, bringing up the online roll anyway. $52 right now.

I think it's time to try and build it more since I'm not at Foxwoods. Come to think of it, why am I not at Foxwoods? I may be heading there now. Later
