Moving on...Limit Games :)

0

I've been super frustrated with nl lately. Since December which I have logged 125k hands I'm an assload below ev. I don't really care to go into it much...I was not surprised when I finally checked the ev calculations because 1) I had no idea how to do it (thanks Daniel!) and 2) don't really care to look at ev. Anyway, enough whining!

Ward has absolutely been crushing razz and stud 8 games on Stars lately. I'd have to say if it wasn't for razz and NL HU I'd probably be busto by now. I'm exaggerating a bit because I'm technically not down that much at 6max...only 6 buyins in 125k hands and plus 28 buyins in EV. (depressing I know) I took a shot at some 50/100 razz last week which didn't go so well. However, when I have played 20/40 and 30/60 razz, I've absolutely crushed it. I had the pleasure of playing with Jen Harman in those games quite a few times. She is really really good and seems sweet enough to talk to the railbirds.

Wardie and I have decided to get into some 2-7 TD limit on Stars. For now I'm watching DeathDonkey's/DJ Sensi's series on DC and I'm pretty sure Stox has videos on it as well. I'm excited about trying this game out and then progressing to some stud8 and o8 games. I realize that 2-7 TD has the most variance out of the games but so far I've seen some pretty huge fundamental mistakes that other players are making in the videos. Wardie is already really good at stud8 so I feel like I have tons of catching up to do! So for the rest of the month, I'm going to play limit games and see how I do. My heart just isn't in nl right now.


On Thursday, my friend Angelo who is a bodog midstakes player came into town with his friends. We started at the Baccarat bar at the Bellagio where the guys drank lots of Scotch and ordered cigars. They also had a round of peach bellinis (yummmy!) real manly haha. We then progressed to the super ballin' O'Sheas. We were gonna try to play beer pong but alas, the tables were all full. The guys then moved on to try and play BJ but, there were only 3 seats. Boo.

Angelo and I decided to play some 1/2 only there were no seats open and he just sat and I decided to play railbird. He then proceeded to open shove in $5 pots hahahah and be the general donk at the table. The guy to the left kept trying to chat us up and proceeded to tell us how to meet "live TV pros". The guy to the right was a huge dude who kept throwing around his chips like he was a pro. Ohoh he also had an FTP hat on and it was discovered he was a dealer. He asked my friend if I was his gf and for the sake of avoiding these randoms hitting on me we said yes. Duh. Anyway, my friend proceeded to take everyone's stack at the table and it finally progressed to HU which was super hilarious. The best part was this all occurred in less than an hour of him pretty much playing 90% vpip.

Lastly, I'm so glad all my friends are in town. Although I have to say that my liver will need about a month off after all this debauchery!! (I'm an old lady now haha) Tonight's plans include going to XS which I'm very excited to check out. We have a pretty big group going and even more friends that have another table.

So that's it for now...ciao babes xoxo!
