Getting back to even

0

At one point this year I was the biggest loser stuck about 600k. I have been doing well the last few days and I am nearing even for the year.

Here is the largest pot that I played over the past few days. I was lucky to fade the flush.

I have been doing amazing in Holdem this year, in both NLH and LHE. I have been doing better in LHE though and I have been very very happy with my play.

O8 has been going poorly for me and I think I still have lots more work to do their, particularly shorthanded. I think I overvalue some hands and need to not fight so hard

Stud games have been going well so far. I am winning big at razz this year and breaking even at stud hi. Unfortunately I am losing pretty badly at Stud 8 so I am stuck about 45k on the year in the stud games. I think this is a very good result all things considered. I feel comfortable in ring stud games, but when play is HU or 3 handed my inexperience really begins to show. I think this will just take some time and practice to become stronger in short handed play.

The game I am stuck the most in this year is PLO. So far I have played 10k hands and am down 425k in every single limit I have played. Thats pretty depressing but I am confident things will turn around. PLO is a very sick game.

Other than poker I have finally returned home after a 5 week trip which took me to San Francisco, Canada, and Lake Tahoe. Its really nice to be home and be able to relax. I find traveling for that long very draining I am lucky that I don't have any trips planned and can really focus on poker for the next few months.
