Omaha reloaded…has got talent

Just a quick blog about moving down.

I’ve done it this week and played about 8k hands winning a ludicrous 16 buyins

Obviously I’ve run well but i’ve also played well and really fixed the problems with my game. Even more important than that i’ve got a lot of confidence back generally.

The main problem was I’d let my aggression slip and stopped thinking during hands. I was giving up too easily, not winning uncontested pots then foccusing on the big pots I was losing rather than the small/medium pots I wasn’t taking down I should have

i’m actually proud of myself for choosing to move down. as i said in my last blog this was a playing decision not a bankroll one. its tough to do in terms of your ego but i really really cant recommend it enough – playing in a game you know you can beat is great for your confidence but more than that it allows you more freedom to experiment and check what things work and what don’t.

anyway i’ll finish my self enforced 10k hands tonight then move back up this week.

in other news britain’s got talent has happened. i have to confess being totally sucked in having never watched it in previous years. its been terrific in every way – of course its manipulative, the people (including judges) not necessarily that talented and its all pointelss but seriously – what a great show

the susan boyle story is a strange one which may be looked back on as a watershed in terms of reality shows and fame generally, i just hope her story doesn’t end sadly as its become perfectly obvious she isnt equipped to deal with whats happened to her.

diversity were awesome of course – their coreographer is borderline genius (and this comes from someone who thinks most modern dance coreography is a bit silly – seriously look closely next time a music video is on, without the other people and lighting effects they’d all look pretty retarded)

that said the highlight of this or any other show this year was the dad from stavros flately running onto stage with a look of messianic determination…. i almost cried with giggles
