Episode 8 - Joe the pro

Here he goes again!

Wednesday live game recap

Wednesday was the big live game and here is the outcome:

Expenses:
$10 food/drink/high hand of the night
$100 tourney buy in
$100 buy in for cash game
[$9 short change in the cash game (only $260 left in kitty but I had $269 in chips)]

Profit:
$240 for 4th in the tourney
$260 for cash out in cash game

$290 to the good

Got screwed in the tourney, down 4 handed and UTG goes all in (wild player), I go all in next with AK, SB thinks and thinks and folds (said it was Jacks), BB calls all in with pocket 10s. UTG has A 10 offsuit. Flop comes J high (SB if he was telling the truth would have had trips). Blank blank on the turn and river - gg me.

Still up around $1150 for the year between the tourney and cash games for this group.

Joe the pro - episode 7

I must have fallen asleep at the switch because he is up to 9 now. Here, at least, is number 7. You have to love this guys work!

Finally came out ahead in something

Thanks to Pipedreams, I finally posted a win!

It is going to be interesting to see what happens once I finish these books. I have tried the SNGs for years with a little cash game/MTT thrown in for variety. However, the "entertainment expense" starts to build up over the years. Maybe these tools will start a new phase of cash game pot-o-gold, who knows.

I will let you know what I think once I get through the books, but don't expect that to happen in a week. I have little enough time to play as it is much less read about poker. My goal is to be done with the books by the end of May with maybe a few sessions on the cash tables.
