Yesterday was day one of my seven days of poker before I have to get back to ordinary working life and things are going well. I won $1,091.60 in PLO cash games for the day, plus $102.58 from the $10 rebuy I entered. However, that doesn't quite balance out the losses from the previous day where I dropped $1,100 in cash games plus my $216 tournament entry for the HA FTOPS event. Still, I've got plenty of time to do well.
One really strange hand happened in the evening when I played the $30 1R1A on PokerStars.

Even the most incompetent of players must know they are beat there! I can only assume the guy was drunk. Because that is an insane soul read call, my hand is like the only thing he's beating since most smaller pairs will start checking to get to showdown with some showdown value. Any higher pairs are obviously winning, it's only hands like mine that will bluff at it.
I'm sure the guy is a huge losing player, but the hand just made me laugh to be honest.
I've made a few rules for myself with the poker over the next week. The most important one is that I won't wake up and start playing immediately, that's way too degenerate so I'm going to shower, eat, watch some TV, etc before I start playing. Just to make sure I'm fully awake and fully focused.
Anyway, I'm about to start playing again now so look out for another updating tomorrow morning! I'm going to try and concentrate on MTTs today so we'll see how that goes, I'm not a great MTT player as my main focus is PLO cash games. But I'm desperate to improve so I'm going to try and put in some volume over the next week or so.
