Calm Before the Storm

So I haven't been playing too much the past few days, just putting in some online hours here and there. Been mixing in NLHE with the PLO. My opinion is that < 200 max NLHE on UB is easier to crush than on FT, whereas conversely I think the PLO games are tougher on UB than on FT at those stakes. My BB/100 is about 10 for both games on UB this month.

This hand is not exactly representative but is crazy enough to post.

Yeah, K7 dude insta-called the flop for almost a full buy-in with an ace on board after two guys pushed in front of him. He was the preflop 3-bettor and when he called so fast I was like, fuck, top set? Err, no, actually it's no pair and no draw.

These few days are really the quiet time. These next two months may be pivotal for me as a poker player. Re-Bet and myself have a plan for attacking a soft spot in the WSOP this year, but to be properly bankrolled for it I need to have a solid May.

Fortunately Carolina John and Re-Bet will both arrive in town in a few days, which should fire my competitive instincts. I'll be playing live pretty much all day and every day while they're in Vegas.

We haven't worked out all the sidebets yet, but be assured we will have several.

I'm leaving Friday morning, so I should be in by early afternoon.
