Messy weekend and I run hot in the STT’s

8 August, 2006

Wow, crazyness at the weekend, Friday night latenight home game poker session. Very very drunk, played two tournaments with some buddies, I finished 2nd in both, I won’t bore anyone with the badbeats fom the heads up games emoticon.

Saturday we went to Unity day in Hyde Park, as per usual we started saying we’ll have a chilled out day, then ended up going on a mad bender, we left Unity day at about 2am and ended up going to see 808 State at the West Indian Centre, mucho techno fun, mucho messy. Left there at 8am somewhat worse for wear, fell asleep on my sofa for a whole hour, and then went off to meet some friends at Headingly to watch England v Pakistan in the test match. It would be fair to say that I’m not the worlds biggest cricket fan, and given my lack of sleep and mental state of mind it was a tough day, but sunshine and a day’s drinking probably did me some good.

Monday, I sleep. And play a little poker. Today I sleep some more, and play a bit more poker. The good news is I’m runnning stupidly hot in the stt’s. I was going to post up my notes from todays game but they’re pretty lengthy and fairly dull, the main info is….

Out $561 / in $1010

I really feel I’m playing my A game at the moment and am really proud of some of the plays I made today, I’m categorising my opponents much more speedily and choosing the right people and the right spots to make moves etc.

In other news, I have a job interview on Thursday for an account management position with a chemicals company in Leeds, wish me luck!

    what level of STT’s are you playing at now-a-days?

    and what sort of notes do you make for a session?

  2. I 4 table the $33’s and occaisionally throw in a $55, so yesterday I played 17. I wanted to play more but was still tired from the weekend. I’m aiming to be 6 tabling the $55’s, but I’ve heard there is quite a sharp skill difference between the 2 levels, so we’ll have to see.

    Notes wise, I obviously classify the players on my table, I tend to do an autoscan using sharkscope to give me an idea, and I also note who are the calling stations and who seems pretty solid and adjust my play accordingly, i.e. play straight up with the fishy calling stations, and make my moves against the better players. I also keep notes of how I busted or won, whether I got lucky etc, this is more just for my own info to keep an idea of how I’m playing
