Hi Mr. Aaron W. sir. That sure is some bad variance in those hands. You could have saved a bet on the turn in hand #5 I bet.

Hmm. 1000th post and using it in the NC thread. Probably an accurate reflection of my value to the forum... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Anyway, just got back from my regular home tournament. Finished first for the tidy sum of $371 on a $30 buy-in plus a $20 rebuy. Unlike my usual tournament demeanor of survival tonight was take no prisoners win it all or die in the attempt pokah. Definitely some luck involved but I pulled off some audacious moves as well. It's a good thing because I have to rebuild my live bankroll after my wife took $1000 bucks from it without permission and without informing me.

Meanwhile my online situation is less good. I have lost roughly a third of my bankroll in the last couple of weeks, mostly from a stab at 2/4 where variance jumped up and bit me in the butt hard and then some badly played sessions at 1/2. I think I need to retool my game a bit and I'll be looking in the stox book for guidance.

that's why i hate nl.
