played a couple times in the last few days. played some more mixed games pretty much breaking even in limit holdem, losing a little bit playing stud 8 (played very bad one day) and up a decent amount in omaha 8. a few of the omaha 8 sessions were up at 8/16 because thats all that was running so i took a shot. the play was pretty poor for that level and i managed to make some hands and scoop a nice little profit.
tournaments have been the same. played a few last nite and went deep in the 10pm $26 but eventually busted like 60th out of a 1200+ field. im probably up a little in sngs but have way too many 2nds and 3rds compared to wins.
i hope to put in a nice session today and play a few of the early afternoon tournaments. oh yeah, i also hopped in a satellite for the 750k sunday and won a seat so i'll have a rare opportunity to play that as well. since im playing it i will probably also play the mulligan and the horse event.

playing some mixed games
haven't really played much since the last post.
put in maybe an 1.5hr session saturday night before going out and then played for about 3hrs yesterday. all of it was cash and most of the time i had two 3/6 full ring limit holdem tables plus one 2/4 stud eight or better and one 2/4 or 3/6 omaha eight or better.
i think after everything is said and done im probably even in stud 8 although i played one hand so bad it made the baby jesus cry. i think im up about a $100 or so in omaha 8 and down probably close to $250 in holdem. i ran like total garbage yesterd in holdem and dropped about 40 bets over the course of like 450 hands. it was pretty sick but the good part is that a lot of it was due to poor play by opponents.
im almost done reading the stud 8 portion of hi/low split by ray zee and im starting to feel more comfortable with the game although i'll probably need to put in a lot of hands and re-read the book again before i can say im fully competent. i'll read the omaha 8 portion next and then hopefully the books i ordered come in so i can start on them. i ordered "sklansky on poker" which deals mostly with razz, "seven card stud for advanced players" which is a stud hi book and the new revised version of "tournament poker for advanced players". hopefully they will come in during the course of the holidays when i should have lots of time to read up. otherwise i'll probably bust out holdem for advanced players since i feel my holdem game is lacking a bit and i never made it all the way through that book. i'd also like to re-read theory of poker since i read it very quickly when i first bought it and probably didn't understand a lot of the concepts at that time. when i haven't been reading i've watching a lot of cardrunners and pxf vids. sometimes i feel like i have a really good handle on tournment poker when all of a sudden i'll watch a rizen video and be blown away. 2 weeks later i can't believe how bad i used to play and realize that i have so much more to learn.
i should be playing tonight but im not sure if i'll have the whole night to dedicate to tournaments.
