I Do Suck

I am having quit the mediocre start to 2013; it's quite frustrating.  There is some money to be made, but these days it seems to be more about just treading water as opposed to riding any waves.  Personally, I can only speak for the state of playing poker in the US.

We can't play poker online, I thought this was Americuh!?!?  It is kind of magical though that the first hand of legal online poker was dealt yesterday in Nevada.  Keep the dream alive.

I've been working pretty hard this year trying to maintain the dream in this limited market.  Here was an interesting one:

IPoker, $5/$10 Pot Limit Omaha Cash, 6 Players

Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. 

CO: $1,284.27 (128.4 bb)

Hero (BTN): $674.50 (67.5 bb)

SB: $979 (97.9 bb)

BB: $1,000 (100 bb)

UTG: $1,188.37 (118.8 bb)

MP: $543.50 (54.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with Jh Ad 6d 6h

2 folds, CO raises to $20, Hero calls $20, 2 folds

Flop: ($55) 8c 2c 9c (2 players)

CO bets $55 pretty polarizing bet size, Hero calls $55  

Turn: ($165) 7h (2 players)

CO checks don't think I've ever seen someone pot big flush flop to check turn, Hero checks might as well let him bluff some more off

River: ($165) Qd (2 players)

CO bets $70, Hero raises to $140, CO folds

Results: $305 pot ($3 rake)

Final Board: 8c 2c 9c 7h Qd 

CO mucked and lost (-$145 net)

Hero mucked Jh Ad 6d 6h and won $302 ($157 net)

I Have Lovely Penmanship

This is an interesting math chart I put together for poker a few months ago.  If you quiz yourself you'll be surprised how far you might be off on some of these calculations that are made every second you play poker.

I wouldn't trust anyone who makes their bed every morning; that shit is psycho.
