Ok,

so once again i played 50$ NL. I started out playing like 8 tables and did horribly. I stacked off several times. one or 2 were bead beats and one was just me being stupid. Other than that, i think i played far too agressively for this level. At 50$ NL people are still quite prone to calling to lightly, and so i scaled back to 2 tables and 2 sng tournies, one at stars, and one at FT. At that point i began to own the table. Not because i was getting great hands all the time, but because i played a bit tighter preflop like 20% VPIP, and i slowed down a bit on the agression. on one table i got up to 150, and on the other i got up to 200. it is really a shame that i play best right after i have lost. I also did poorly in the tournaments. I busted out on both of them getting the best of it. On the FTP on i had 2 pair on the flop and villian had Top pair and an open ended straight draw. Went all on on the flop and he rivered the straight. In the stars, i was sitting right at 10BB and utg raised, MP pushed all in, i saw QQ and i called all in. UTG AK MP JJ Hero QQ. JJ wins with a J high straight. bummer. I think that i am really likeing those multi talbe sngs. Quick game, and i feel i have an edge. I think i will continue to play them.

Also today, i talked with the president of Screaming Eagle Poker. If you don't know, it is an army poker league that started in Iraq. I am in the Air Force, and they are looking to get the Air Force involved as well. I gotta talk to some higher ups about getting one started here on base. If all goes well, maybe i can go party with the pros and meet them, and maybe once get a glimpse of the life i am craving right now. Apparently Screaming Eagle Poker has a good number of contacts in the poker world, so this could possibly be my foot in the door. i hope all works out.
