Rollar Coaster of a Month

May 25, 2009 by Brian Townsend

First I have been working on part two of a video that will be out this Friday. I think it will be very good as I have put alot of time into it. It is a powerpoint presentation again detailing a 100/200 NLH hand I played a few months ago. I am going to do my best to keep the analysis short and concise as I know how boring videos can be. I am hoping it will be well received.

I am getting ready for Vegas. I head out tomorrow to play the 40k event. I moved back my arrival date so I won’t have much time before the event. I get into Vegas at 2pm and have to get all my money sorted out before the event starts the next morning. Hopefully I will have time, but if I am feeling jet lagged or stressed I may skip it.

The past few days have been a complete roller coaster. I feel like I have been winning and losing huge amounts everyday. I am basically break even on the month and have had 4 or 5 +/-100k days this month and I think much of it is due to these PLO games with an ante. There was awhile where I wasn’t playing great, but the past few days I have played my best.

Yesterday I had a great day winning 120k. I played some 100/200 and 25/50, but most of my hands came at 50/100.

Here I win a big pot at 25/50 which I suckout.

Not much to say here.

I played DIN_FRU heads up again and did well against him. He is a very tricky aggressive opponent. Here are a few of the larger pots we played.

I also played some 6 max 50/100 with an ante. Here I get a great flop for my kings.

Here is a fun one. Ziig really read my soul here. I still had 30% equity though. He left quickly after this hand.

Unfortunately today things didn’t go my way and I ended up losing 45k. All my play was pretty standard. That’s poker and definitely omaha. I didn’t play all that many large pots, I just wasn’t making hands in small ones and was getting raised alot.

This is the sort of hand that was happening to me today…

I don’t know how I like my line in that hand against OMGClay. I am going to give it some thought tonight.

A bluff that didn’t work.

There were a few more hands at 25/50 I lost, but overall it was just a day where I couldn’t get anything going and lost the really big pots and didn’t win any large pots. It happens and hard to have good short term results when it does.
