April Graph, Masters Observations/Thoughts

0

I've been hitting the tables hard this last week and can't seem to get over the hump. Even though my green line is above zero, I'm not entirely satisfied with the way I'm playing and I am going to do some heavy hand review to plug some leaks and find some places to amp up my aggression, etc.

It's been pretty fun. I haven't grinded poker hardcore in a long time and putting in 10k hands in a little under a week has been quite an accomplishment, especially considering that I haven't played more than 9 tables simultaneously. That's a lot of hours!

Anyways, I feel pretty good about my PLO game even though my results aren't favorable. 99% of hands are at 100PLO


This week wraps up one of my most favorite times of year, Masters week. Any real golfer can appreciate the skills and the difficulty of Augusta National and probably has the same infatuation with this week as I do. There really is nothing in sports that can match the Sunday roars and drama of Augusta on the Back 9.

Unfortunately I was stuck in traffic traveling back from Ohio and I missed the first half of coverage. While the entire day shaped up to be pretty amazing, I wish I would have gotten to see Tiger's charge live. Despite my disdain for his coldness towards announcers and his demeanor when he isn't playing well, very few athletes can replicate the energy and charge of Tiger. The only other athletes in modern-day that create the same feeling is probably Michael Jordan and sometimes Lebron James. They just take over and you expect something magical to happen.

I was cheering for KJ Choi and Rory entering the day and was pretty disappointed to see a no-name win. He certainly deserved the title and earned every square inch of fabric on that Green Jacket, but I would have preferred to see one of the others win.

I can't remember the last time I saw golf where so many players were playing at such an elite level with their A-game. Adam Scott proved that the long putter was a great decision for him as he sank several clutch putts down the stretch, Jason Day stepped up and birdied 17 and 18 when he needed to, Luke Donald overcame the bad luck of his ball ricocheting off the flag and chipped in to get in the clubhouse lead (at the time), and Geoff Ogilvy shot 31 on the Back 9. Despite leaving a few shots on the course (short putt on 15 and the 3 putt on 12), Tiger still shot a hell of a number and applied the pressure. Unbelievable theater and a Masters that will likely be reflected on as one of the most riveting episodes ever displayed.

Anyways, I hope poker turns around a bit but I'm going to keep hitting the tables and videos hard. I hope everyone else is having a good April thus far. Keep an eye out for some more exciting videos coming soon!
