July 11 - Poker Night…

I have been running so bad playing live poker these days, that I turned down an invite to someone’s home game that I have played before, in exchange for my wife wanting to have the night out, and me staying home to play online. I can’t think of the last time I did that, but I have been royally screwed playing live lately and not really in the mood.

I been running pretty well playing my 6-man SNG trial, I am up to 100 SNGs and have an ROI of 11%. If I could run like that over 1000 SNGs, I would be pretty happy. Plus, I got my rakeback yesterday, so I am feeling decent again about my bankroll. Usually I take my rakeback and enter a tournament that I normally would not (last time, I played the 50/50 on FT) but I don’t think I’ll play that tonight, will stick with the 9PM EST $26 donkfest, and see what happens.

Played a little bit of cash over the last few days, not really much to comment on, other than the play is super super bad on JokerStars:

I mean, did my bets not scream overpair? Guess not, or he felt like throwing his money away.

Other than that hand, not really much going on. I have played 7 step 1’s on PS for the WCOOP, which have generated 3 step 2’s and now 1 step 3 which I still have. Probably will play that tonight if I am feeling up for it.

My condolences to Loretta who busted from the main event. I was really hoping for you.

Hope everyone is well, talk to you all soon.
