After having two losing sessions, I played two $10 SNG’s. Lost the first one (bounced in fifth) and won the second. Whew!
I’m still a big loser from those limit games, but my bankroll has only suffered a 16BB loss instead of 30. Thank God.
Time to go to bed while I’m “ahead.”
The good session was followed by two bad sessions. Ugh. Down -30BB for the day.
Ditto the last line of my last post.
There are better places to read about it; I’ll just tell you what it did for me in one session:
58 minutes, 72 hands
VP$IP: 16.67%
Won $ at SD: 60%
Aggression: 1.04
Up +15BB
+20.31BB/100 hands
I could have been more aggressive, and on one hand in particular, it would have netted me a LOT more money:
Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with Ac, Ad.
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, Hero raises, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, BB folds, UTG 3-bets, Hero caps, Button calls, UTG calls.
Flop: (13.50 SB) Jc, 3d, 6s (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets, Button raises, UTG calls, Hero calls.
Turn: (9.75 BB) Tc (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets, Button raises, UTG calls, Hero calls.
River: (15.75 BB) 6h (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks, Button checks.
Final Pot: 15.75 BB
Main Pot: 15.75 BB, between Hero, Button and UTG. > Pot won by Hero (15.75 BB).
UTG shows Kd Kh (two pair, kings and sixes).
Hero shows Ac Ad (two pair, aces and sixes).
Button shows Jh As (two pair, jacks and sixes).
Outcome: Hero wins 15.75 BB.
I have much to learn.
Jesus.
The Bush administration has decided to count hatchery-bred fish, which are pumped into West Coast rivers by the hundreds of millions yearly, when it decides whether stream-bred wild salmon are entitled to protection under the Endangered Species Act.
Who benefits? Developers and loggers. Who contributes? Developers and loggers. What a bunch of assholes. These guys are wrong on every issue.
I’m beginning to suspect that those two amazing weeks of profit were a fluke. Which isn’t to say that I don’t expect to win out over time, but probably nowhere near as much as I did those two weeks. So far this week I am up +14BB at a rate of +3.89BB/100 hands. Haven’t had much time nor desire to play, though. With classes coming to an end and final projects due, I’ve spent most of my time off the tables. Tonight was the first time I was able to put in some serious time, and it just wasn’t paying off. At no point was I up by more than 9BB. Mostly I’d get blinded down, or chuck my cards after the flop, then win a smallish pot to keep me at the same level. Boring. After four hours of this, I turned off the computer, ate some food, and watched Rex the Runt instead.

Uh, oh. What does this mean for poker in LA?
An effort to move the famed Hollywood Park racetrack from Inglewood to Irvine is a tale of the suburbs and the inner city.
For Irvine, a racetrack at the former El Toro Marine base would bolster its hopes to transform the closed base into a giant park surrounded by homes, offices and stores. Until 2002, the old military compound was headed for rebirth as a commercial airport.
In Inglewood, some track old-timers lament the prospect of losing the 66-year-old institution that opened during Hollywood’s golden era. But city officials are upbeat about the possibility of a move, which would open the track’s 237 acres to retail development that could double its current tax take.

DavidRoss is up $82,854 for the year. Very nice.
The reviews are still out on our movie star governor, but one thing is clear: he can get things done. Whether those things are right or not is another thing altogether. His latest accomplishment, worker’s comp reform, may not actually achieve what it is intended to do, according to the Economist:
Another market failure for the books.
Now he’ll have to grapple with the budget, and we’ll see whether he will use his powers of persuasion to address the structural deficits in the state budget. He may have a secret weapon: “One little-publicised provision gives the governor the right to suspend its strictures if a ‘fiscal emergency’ arises.” This was, in fact, one of the reasons I opposed Prop 58. Providing that kind of power to a single person seems an extraordinarily dangerous thing to do. However, the centrist “unelectable via the normal process” governor may be willing to oppose the anti-tax foes within his own party and raise certain taxes: “he mused in a rare interview that perhaps his anti-tax stance was ‘wishful thinking.’”
Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
