Poker Content?

It's no great secret that I've not had a great run of late. I cashed out the bulk of my bankroll to pay for Vegas, and didn't redeposit the money I brought home. Add in some poor play and a few gruesome suckouts, and you have a recipe for liquidation of much of the remaining balance.

So it was really, really pleasant to have a good day yesterday. Playing (thanks Bob) low dollar Omaha/8 SnGs, I went 5-for-5 in cashes. One first, three seconds and a third. Tripled my pathetic Party bankroll. Not too shabby considering that I'm not exactly an O8 expert.

Anyway, I think a winning session just might rekindle some enthusiasm for the game.

It was also really great that 144 people signed up for the Charlie tournament, meaning that a couple thousand dollars was raised for a good cause and in memory of a fellow blogger. Because of the usual Sunday routine (=no poker activities for me), I only managed to play for about 15 minutes in the second half of hour 1. Nothing special. Folded for an orbit or so. I had to take off, so I started going all in on every hand beginning with the first decent hand I got. Donkey style. I think I finished 120something. Congrats to those who did well.
