Sup?!

"Yo, yo, yo. How are things?"

This is how someone started an MSN conversation. So its time to update the blog, although the two events are not necessarily related. Long time no updates. Last post was about tournaments. I did play a decent number of tournaments that Sunday, but to no avail. I had a break even night. Busted out of the big sunday tournaments and had top 50 runs in the $55 ones.

Unfortunately I am not going to the WSOP this summer. Did I mention that in an older blog? Not sure. However, the weekend of the main event Ive planned a weekend away to Cracow in Poland. When I planned that, I just forgot about the WSOP. However, next year I will be there. I will buy in directly or qualify. Got plenty of FPPs to participate.

Pokerwise it is ok-ish. Not really running that well one day and running fine the other. Standard hand: I bet, someone raises, I 4bet. Get a call. Flop KJ2 with me holding AK. I bet and get a call. Turn Ace. I bet and get raised allin. River bricks and villain shows QT. Same with plenty strange hands, like Q2o turning two pair, 78o flopping trips in a 4bet pot and so forth.

No real reason to complain though. used to be tight and setmining. Lately it is transformed to: "Hey, so not every 3bet is air"... Also looking a bit more at Omaha and sit and go's. Omaha is so swingy, but I find it fun to play. So many mistakes are made. On the other hand, there is not one single style that is "good". Like in 6-max NL Holdem, someone playing between 15/12 and 24/22 is fine. In Omaha a 10/10 and 40/28 can be fine.

I play the turbo sit and go's. Sick variance there as well. In the later levels of the 1-table sit and go's (depending on the stack sizes usually starting from 50/100 and 75/150), it is just a shove-fiesta. However, they are fun to play. Keep playing steps as well, but they are less fun. To many monkeys to make "normal" play possible. Stil got my step 6 ticket. Will try to qualify for an EPT. Maybe in Moscow or Barcelona. Should be fun to play there.

Besides playing myself I am also writing articles for PokerNews. Have written a lot lately. Still manage to come up with new topics. New writers are always welcome though (mail me if youre interested). Furthermore I am staking some players. Got stakes in 4 players going to the WSOP. I am also buying stakes at ChipMeUp. It is linked to PokerNews. Check out the site. Its fun if youve got some money to spare.

Thats it for now. See you next time!
