PodPeeves

If you're going to put out a podcast, listen to it! Seriously, some of the 'casts I've tried recently have major sound issues.

I know if someone puts out a podcast they probably have a decent speaker system. This is not where you need to listen to the 'cast. Listen on a crappy set of speakers with some background noise. If it sounds good there, you're probably good.

Also, WATCH YOU LEVELS. I listen on headphones a lot. There is nothing worse than needing to crank the volume because the levels are in the mud, then WHAM a spike that nearly ruptures my eardrums.

Down

Dropped $20 or so yesterday in the team competition. Daggerzz dropped a chunk, too. My team mates picked up some wins, so we're still neck and neck with team hitman. Sif3506 has got some momentum now, so team misawaplayer is going to be a threat.

I really thought we'd have more bust outs by now. Only 3 people out of 15 are under the initial stake of $10.

That's it for now.

GAS Team competition

Ok, here's the link to my rail for the team competition.

The important information for the nonpoker players reading this is in the first post. It will show each of my sessions in a chart, with how much I bought in for, how much I cashed out and the profit. There will also be a grand total at the bottom of it.

According to the rules of the contest, I have to post the hand history of the first hand in a session immediately. If all that stuff doesn't make sense, skip it. There will also be rail posts, these will show the buy in and amount cashed out.

Any questions with it, just ask.

As of right now, I'm the number 1 horse with $69.10. The initial stake was $10 and we started yesterday morning. At the very top of the page there is a chart that shows team standings.

Need to put details up. Late into day one of getastake.com's 3 team competition, I have turned $10 into $38.85. Next closest is daggerzz with $27.55.

More later.

Blew my recent profit

Sat down and played .50/1.00 LO8. Bought in for $20 and topped off later with another $10. Ended up down about $25 when I left. Sat down at a .25/.50 table and was doing ok. I think I was up about $8.00 and was about ready to leave when BurnsMyToast sat down. I was tired and should have left, but I didn't. I was dozing off by the time I left. And I was down about another $5.00. I haven't looked at my hand histories yet, but I know I was playing way too many hands.

It's not so bad as long as I learn from this and DON'T DO IT AGAIN! If I'm not playing well, I need to just leave.

Will get the links and beginner poker info up later today or tomorrow.

Lunch is over, back to work.

Bust a Nut!

Coming soon

A list of poker books.
An offer to invest in a rock band's first CD.
Links to sites that I enjoy.

Where to go from here?

I've been playing the .25/.50 and .50/$1.00, more of the former than the latter, Limit Omaha 8 games. I've been doing well with them. I haven't had a losing session yet. I'm up almost $30 after about 800 hands. I look in the lobby for the tables with the highest percentages of people seeing a flop.

I'm grinding these out, and trying to multi-table when the conditions are right. I'm going to work my bankroll up about another $100 before I move up a level. I might start playing more of the .50/1.00 before then, though.

My plan is to keep moving up levels slowly until I find a level where I don't have a huge edge. Then I'm going to step back one and see how much money I can make per month. I need to get PT Omaha or a similar program, and I plan on doing that next month.
