I know I said my grind wouldn't begin until today but what the hell, I fancied playing me some poker over the weekend.
A particular highlight for me was playing two tables of heads-up PLO 250BB deep. I felt like Isildur1, just at $0.01/$0.02. It was also a highlight because I won.The biggest pot was about $14, so 700BBs. I had Td Ts 8d 6s and myself and my aggressive opponent put in 4 bets before the flop, making it $1.1 on a Tc 9s 7h board. He raised my c-bet and I called, turned a flush draw on the 2s turn and got all the money in. He had QJT9 and I took the pot. I can't even properly play Omaha, which he seemed to uncannily know after I won my fifth buy-in from him as he went on a three-minute rant in the chatbox.So I'm now at $80 and I'm thinking about attacking the $1.75 18-man SnGs. Any advice, readers?
