Busy…

August 10, 2009 by Brian Townsend

I have been really busy the past week with a bunch of personal stuff so I haven’t played too many hands. I only have put in 3000 hands this month which is way way under the number of hands I have played the past few monhts. I have made the most of the hands I have played and am up 350k.

I have been doing really well getting in hands of mixed games and am on track to reach my goal of playing 10k hands of mixed games this month. I have been playing 20/40 and 40/80 mixed when the big PLO games are dead.

My results aren’t great. I am losing at -2.5 bb/100 in the stud games and I am losing at limit O8 as well. Its a very big project to learn these games and I am not very focused when I play. I don’t pay attention as I should and am not taking it serously enough. It doesn’t really hurt to lose so I don’t strive to get better. I just do what feels right and if I lose I don’t think twice about it.

It’s really tough to take the mixed games seriously when I am also playing larger PLO. I try to but I never review hands or think about my play. I just mindlessly press buttons. Hopefully I can get a bit more focused when I play.

Anyways here are some big pots from the month.

Sucking out vs a straight.

A good side of a cooler when I held the nut flush vs my opponenets 2nd nut flush.

A dry overpair holding up vs a very nice draw.

A hero call gone wrong. I love when people post their hero calls and are correct, because they never seem to post hands like these where they are drawing dead.
