Sorry I haven't been blogging much recently. I have been playing lots of poker and unfortunatley, I have been losing alot. The promising thing is that I have been winning in Stud and O8 games and losing in my best game, PLO. Not much to say really just frustrating that I am on such a downswing. Considering the stakes its not to big of a loss (about 500k or 600k), I just HATE losing. I am very competitive and it really bugs me when I am not winning.

I think this latest downswing has been due to a few factors. I have been traveling so I don't think I have played my best as there have been many discractions. I am looking forward to getting home and properly focusing once again. I think I have also run pretty poorly in this time and been on the bad side of some coolers. That said my play has been far from perfect and I have lots of room to improve.

I now have a coach in every game I play which is very helpful. I was stuck alot in each stud game but I am now almost even in razz (-20k), and stud 8 (-40k) and only down only 60k in stud hi. This is a big improvement as I was stuck 250k+ in each of these games. I am almost even in O8 as well being stuck only 11k. These numbers may seem big but when you play 2k/4k they are very very small as its only a few bets. Anyways I hope I keep improving as I now feel I am a breakeven player at in the Stud games and O8 in the nose bleed games. If I were to rate my games right now I think they would be as follows:

1) PLO
2) LHE
3) NLH
4) Razz
5) Stud 8
6) 2-7
7) O8
8) stud hi

Hopefully with some hard work things will turn around.
