V: Session # 2: Practice does not make perfect

Starting balance: $95.60

Or maybe it does, in which case it would seem I have practicing my errors into something approaching high art. 12 more hours at the tables, and, well, the results speak for themselves.

As noted in my last post, there is hmmm, there is feh, and all the rest is commentary. I will spare you much of the commentary. Suffice it to say that, if there is to be any hope of turning this Titanic around, I need to turn off AXN's "Video Zonkers," shut down my Go game, and close my mutliple porn browsers when it's time to play cards. Apparently I have nothing but unwarranted arrogance to support this multitasking approach.

Time to remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint (and certainly not a sprint backwards), take a few days away from the tables, and return, as Richard Nixon declared himself in 1968, tanned, rested and ready.

P.S. Stay away from Omaha Hi/Lo No Limit. I don't usually dig pot limit games because of the constricted betting, but since you can't price anyone out in Om H/L anway, the pot limit restriction keeps things from getting out of hand. There's a practiced bit of wisdom for you.

Ending balance: $49.40

  1. You must have tasted the sweet monkey tilt and also been going at some rate to lose 9 buyins!

    Stay away from Omaha for now. The swings are too great (not helped by the fact that you went NL!! - that kind of crazyness is reserved for our home game only).
