Merry Christmas
With the The Big Shakedown impending, I will likely be incommunicado for a few days. Here's wishing my imaginary readers a wonderful holiday. I hope Santa filled your stocking with everything you wanted.
BIRE update: Oops, the comeback will have to wait. Omaha has not been treating me kindly since I tried to move up. After my first $32 win at the quarter tables, I gave that money back the next night. Then last night, I gave away another $25. Time to migrate back to the penny tables, I thought, and so I did, but my previous good results did not return, and I ended up losing another $6. Down to $22, I decided to sit in a NLHE penny game. This was the first HE game I've played online in weeks, except for the occasional freeroll. And what do you know, I actually did pretty well. I ran my $2 buy-in to $14, not enough to make up for my losses on the day, but certainly much better than I've played hold'em over the past month.
The Omaha quarter game was just too much for me. The people on there actually know how to play the game, whereas I don't. I can do well in the penny game, because those people just throw money at the pot, hoping some of it lands on them. But since I have only half a clue as to what I'm doing in that game, I just can't do well playing against who know a fair amount about it. Someday, when I have a bankroll to speak of once again, I'll probably try Omaha again, because the game is just too fun. Maybe I'll even enter the penny game on occasion. But hold'em is my specialty, and it is long past time I started playing it seriously again.
