Typical me, typical me, typical me....

...I started something, and now I'm not too sure.

As soon as I blog about being up $300 on FT I have my worst losing session there since returning. Playing such low stakes I hadn't been losing or winning that much per session but a couple of days ago I dropped around $250 in one hit.

In a HU hand of PLO I paid off the nut flush with the second nut flush when we both flopped it - not sure how bad that was, although he did basically fire 3 barrels and I don't know how many low-limit donks would do that without the nuts??? - and on my other tables seemed to have one of those days when I missed absolutely everything; either whiffed the flop completely or flopped a huge draw then missed the turn and river.

Only pleasing thing was managing not to tilt for once ;) and I returned tonight to win a big chunk of it back.

After busting out of an MTT early in a 4-way all-in pot for the monster chip lead - my 66 v QQ v Ac4c and 8c9c on 9c6c4h flop (club on river obv) - I switched from PLO to PLO8 and caught a beauty.

I have Ax99 in a raised 3-way pot. Flop is 983. It goes check, bet and I think of raising here but call to rope along the dope in the SB with a low looking likely.

Turn is a beautiful 3 and it's again check, bet and this time I shove. SB calls with A234 and donk who has been pushing the action calls with some crap like A4xx, drawing dead.

I'm shouting at the computer for a Q but happily take a K instead and scoop a $240 pot. Let's hope there is more to come.
