Live PLO: Good, My Month Overall: Bad

Last week they ran live $1-2 Pot Limit Omaha games at Planet Hollywood four nights in a row. I really enjoy playing PLO, more than I like playing NLH at the moment. One night I won a sick pot that broke the game around 5 am and I cashed out close to $1,300.

But in NLH I've run terrible this month. When it comes to holdem, this is honestly the worst run of cards I've ever had. I am getting it in with the nuts and feeling awful about it because I'm just waiting for my opponents' outs to come, and sure enough they do. Earlier tonight I got it all in on the turn with the nut straight vs a mediocre two pair for 300 bb, and I'm just shaking my head when I see his hand on the turn because I know he's going to fill up. Unless things turn around this will be my first losing month at poker. And things have to turn around in the next couple days, because while they say luck evens out in the long run, that makes no difference if you go busto in the short run. Is Highwaytime going to have to find a J-O-B? Let's not think such cruel thoughts just yet.

Sylar is Back

Hey, what's up. I just took two of my shattered Excedrin pills and am in too much pain to play cards or go out. Let me tell you guys what's been going on.

I have two months left in my Vegas lease. I will probably leave the city at the end of January unless I have a bankroll to start playing $2-5 NL live games, which for me means about $10K. Looking over my records, I notice that I've never played 200 hours of poker in one month, so that's my goal this month and hopefully it will go a long way towards reaching $10K in disposable poker capital by late January. So far this month I'm running like the plague and am only up like $100, but I still have over 170 hours to go.

Sylar got his powers back on the last episode of Heroes, so that bodes well for me. Looking back, I ran good for most of the first season and started running bad right after the final episode of season 1 where he was defeated. I don't know about you but I thought last season's episodes were better, overall.

Possible LA poker trip later this month or early next month with the crew (Carolina John and Todd). I think I can promise John there are Ukrainian girls there.

Then a Colorado ski trip late January, for which I am already equipped against the weather with a new goatee.

Like what I've got down in my other writing project, almost want to say excited about it, but it's going to take months to finish. Still in its infancy.
