I managed to beat last months total last night with 4 days to go. I played 3 low buy in tournies, $75 freezeout, $20 RB and $10 RB. Got to the last 40/224 in the $75, 13/118 with 12 places paying in the $20RB and won the $10 RB. I haven't played MTT's for a while and it was a nice change of pace and strees free too!

I have to say the play in all of these was soooo bad, I know they're low buy in but I'd expect at least some of the players in the later stages to have some sort of clue. I got to the FT as chip leader and lost a pot that would have given me half the chips with 9 left when I called an UTG shove with JJvsTT and he spiked a T on the river. After that I built my stack back up to leader with lots of blind stealing and calling people in position and outplaying them post flop. When it got down to 6 I lost a flip with TT vs AJ.

This hand basically won me the tournie as3 handed I had more than 1/2 the chips in play and both my opponents were shit.

I'm just short of 5 figures in PLO this month and up a huge $115 in NLHE which I've just about stopped playing, so with the money from this tournie and a $600 bonus from i poker it's been a good month, hopefully I can win a nother couple of K by the 30th and take some shots at 5/10 next month.

I know this sounds stupid but I should be playing 5/10 now, whats stopping me? THIS:

I'm not 100% sure how to read this graph but for anyone reading this who doesn't play poker this graph shows my luck in pots where I put all my money in before the last card is dealt. The peak of the graph on the Y axis is 40%, thats the chance of me winning that amount of money, (about $5000), this is where the red infill should stop. That would mean say in a $800 pot where I was 50% to win I would be winning around 50% of the time, so I wouldn't be getting over lucky or under.

However my red infill stops at about 0.08/$7500 which means there is a 0.08% chance of someone winning that much on all ins, so I'm basicaly lucky as fuck which makes me feel like a bit of a fraud. So either I move up to 5/10 my lucky streak continues or I get found out and get raped or I might be wrong about what this graph means and I'm just awesome at omaha.

Graphs to come at end of month.

GL at the tables.
