june

hope everyone's may went well. i have some different stuff going on in june, mainly seattle for 10 days and then vegas following that.

i'm pretty excited for seattle...i guess being w/ family for 10 days can be a bit lame at times but whatever...nice break from omaha. seeing cousins and relatives is alright too.

with regards to activities there, we're probably going to go fishing...should be fun since i don't really do much fishing while in omaha. i'm hoping to hit up some climbing walls too while in seattle...omaha has such a lame selection of possible walls and i'm excited to see some variety.

once seattle starts, the summer is going to go pretty quick...i'll be hitting different places at a relatively quick pace. i have weekly intervals between my trips though, so that should give me a chance to settle down/see friends, and more importantly- do spanish.

i have spanish in 3 days. i'm scared shitless to be frank. i HATE spanish with a sick passion, its a gay language and i suck ass at it. i suck ass at most all languages actually, even english.

poker is going well for this month...NLHE is going swell...i've been trying to learn how to play cap PLO as well.

there are a few observations-

-be super tight when playing...don't splash around like you usually do.
-understanding both pre and post flop equities is going to help a TON (even more so than usual in this structure...some people can have bad preflop fundamentals and still get by on good postflop play...this is a one or two street game).
-decrease raise sizing...i make it like...$4.5 at 1/2 otb, sometimes $5 utg. depends i guess.

basically, i think this helps one of my most struggling leaks these days- folding.

i'm an action junkie. i have to admit this and it's cost me alot of money, at least with regards to poker. i love to get it in preflop with PLO, even if i'm taking the worst of it...it excites me to a sick degree.

time and time again i'm getting it in terribly, be it in NLHE or PLO, where i'm jamming over a squeeze with AQ after i raised UTG and button (nit) squeezes me...JUST FOLD YOU FREAK...instead i say to myslf "well, villain might be good and he might be capable of doing this with air..."...NOPE...villain sucks and i suck even harder for paying him off.

same with PLO- i KNOW i'm getting it in terribly at times, relying on only a flush draw and a gutter on the turn or something to save me. It's awful...I'm hoping this cap PLO helps absolve me of my problem...i can get action while still getting it in better than my opponents.

i still havent really decided whether or not i'm playing in any tourneys this year. i wanted to play the ME but 10k of my own money is kindve alot...i don't play as much as i used to either so i can't afford it as easily. i was thinking about selling 50% of myself as well but meh...we'll see.

there are some other poker concepts that i've been thinking about alot lately. i definitely have a billion leaks these days, it's just hard to figure out what exactly i have to do to remedy them. i guess i'm at least lucky in the sense that i have figured out some of my current leaks (i'm sure there are still hundreds that i have yet to discover).

i guess i won't share my own specific leaks here (i doubt any of my opponents really reads this retarded blog anyhow but meh). i know that i have alot of psychological issues (tilting/play motivation/etc). meh, hopefully i can fix it in the future.

with regards to workout stuff, i did yoga this morning. i'm pretty pleased with it and i think it's going to help my flexibility for sure. highly recommended.

alright tired of typing. ofishstix (alex michaels) is still in the $1500 PLO event...there are 29 to go as i write this and he has like average chips. gogogogogogo (i probably just jinxed him).
