My PLO hands....
Flopping top set doesnt alway win....
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1918721
The odds from the gate were 50/50 preflop and flop, to the turn were i became 70/30 favorite. I really over-read the hand. I told myself that he didnt have hearts, but he had a really good draw. Nice hand PL.
Steaming from the skillz game i entered myself in the DS $5.50 PLO MTT. Again flopping top set is not good enough.

I knew I was beat when the 3rd guy put all his money in. I just can get lucky enough to suck out for a boat.
I did savage the night w/ a win in SnG 6-max for $6.50. I think this is a first win for me in a long time. Its really awful, that I cant remember my last win.

Playin' Well.
I have been on a little heater, I supposed. Its not really a heater but I have been playing really well. And I'm happy with that.
I place 7th in the PLO $5.50 tourney that takes place at 1045pm est. I have been playing this tourney on a regular basis. I love playing this game.
I had a lot of chips in this tourney at one point and never left the top five until the final table.
One thing that i notice in the game is Out of Positions raises. It got me to thinking that these raises have to be -EV. I believe that this game, is a highly post flop game, then it is pre-flop. These OOP raises are redonkolous. Its not as if these are No-limit tourneys, where you can put maxium pressure, w/ the "all-in" bet. Play OOP is -EV anyway, but it is need in certain situations. These situations seem to work better in a NLHE, then PLO. I can see why a lot of pros play this game.
On new years, I got myself into a 180 person SnG for $8.80. I loved the structure as it was slow and you could trap donkeys. I got really deep made the final table with a healthly stack, then all of a sudden.... sssstttttaaaatttttiiiiicccc! Yup, the static in my life, the slit w/ the ring, nagging that we have to go to her sisters for dinner. Good thing that it is 2 minutes away. By this time I'm 3rd out of 7th in chips. I figured.... ok no problem, call my future bro-in-law and have him download FullTilt and I can play from there.
Well, Jesus must of hated me for this and it took 20 minutes to download the software. By the time i got logged on i was out in 5th. This was probably my closes shot at my first MTT 100+ person win. Nope. Anyway, dinner was good and a 6pack later, all memory of the tourney was gone...
The new year is off to a good start. I'm acheiving most of my goals. Being aggressive, making smart decisions and 1/5 of my way to a 1k BR.

36 hour session.....no sleep.
Day after food and wine marathon, I made the mistake of not taking the day off. So i went into work w/ a fat belly and a headache. So after sleeping on my keyboard, I went home for more sleep, so I thought.
This is for all the parents......
My son Dylan, was not feeling well. He had a nasty cough and was serverly congested. We have been running the humifieder and putting vicks vapor rub on his feet at night before he fell asleep.
My fiance was lucky enough to have the day off after x-mas and stayed home w/ him. So when I got, he sounded worst. We ended up calling the doctors office and explained the sympatons and were told to go to the ER. Ok, no big deal, go the ER, get some treatment/medicine and be on our way....NOPE.
Ok, its was 830pm, when we left for the hosiptal. I have been up already 13 1/2 hours and was not ready for an all nighter.....
The trip to Abington Hosiptal took about 25 minutes, so we arrived around 9pm. After regestration, we went straight to an ER room, where he was evaluated by a nurse. We spent about 1 1/2 in that room and then moved too another one. its now about 1130pm. where we waited again for about an hour until we saw a young resident. (Abington is a teaching hosiptal). Another evaluation by him and we waited another hour or so, until the chief ER doctor came in, said some words, gave his opinion and told us to be prepared for a long night. He order some tests, x-rays and a respirtory breathing treatment.
Time is now 1am.....
Nurse is now in, (which she was pretty hot and was the only thing that kept my eyes open) too get a sample of snot from his nose, for a test. After the extraction of the fluid, the nurse said, it shouldnt take to long for the result. Yeah right, "shouldnt take to long" took 2 hours, and its about about 3am.
The chief ER, comes back in and says its what he thought. It was "RSV". RSV is a serve chest cold. The doc said, it was probably the worst cold a young infant can have. He told us out of the 20 rooms in the ER 15 were young kids.
4am, the Peds doctor, came down and gave another evalution and said that we were going to be admitted, into the Peds Unit as soon as a bed opens. So the entire ER, was a secondary Peds Unit.
6am shift change.
Seen a couple of doctors, mainly the respirtory docs and nurses...
630am...
went in for X-ray. the doc showed us the junk in his chest. Nasty!
at this point my eyes are as heavy as Rosie O'Donnell. The only entertainment is the WSOP game on my cell and watching all the cops and paramedics walking through the ER.
7am
Thank god for the future mother-in-law. (maybe the only time i say that) As she is an employee at the hosiptal, Manager of admissions. She walked into the room w/ coffee and donuts. Yes! Third win has hit, but I know, it will be short lived..
730am
Officially awake for 24hrs....
Still no bed upstairs, for us to be admitted. More doctors, more breathing treatment.
11am
Drive home get shower, something eat and pickup some items.
1pm
Finally a bed opens up. See more doctors and more nurses and more treatment.
