Not much

Not much has been going on poker wise. I got 2nd in $5.50 LHE tourney about a week ago for $70-something but I couldn't finish because the fire alarm went off in our building so I went outside and by the time I got back I was out.. AND of course it was a drill so I wasn't happy. Besides that, I started playing a little PLO (pot limit omaha) on full tilt and some NL .25/.50 on Absolute. I'm still playing limit hold em but sometimes it's fun to play other games too.

I've been doing more school work, watching tv, and reading the forum than playing. It doesn't help that I usually want to play cards at night and that's when I have to do hw.

Also, it's confusing because I wasn't able to sign in to Absolute last week (during the week). Then this last weekend I was able to get on. Yesterday, again I wasn't able to get on and today I was. Stupid college is messing with me.

Not much else to say besides the Illini are 3-1! (should be 4-0)


EDIT: I also wanted to comment on school a little bit more. It's kinda nice to have a room to myself and it's very peaceful unlike last year when you couldn't get a quiet moment. At first it was hard getting used to but I think I enjoy the setup and the way it is now more than I did before. The only bad part is that I have to clean up a little more. Here's a link to a few pics of the room (nothing special)

I can't get the link to work that well so I just posted it above.

Other goals: play some LHE 2/4 and lots of FR, 6max 1/2... Learn basic PLO strat, finish SSHE, experiment with NLHE again, and don't let poker get in the way of school.




Currently I've been play 1/2 6-max tables and I've been playing pretty well. I haven't played as much as I've liked because school started and I'm trying to get into the swing of things and I've been reading/taking notes a lot for classes. I'm up a few hundred so far.

Any requests of what I should write about for the non-poker fans? (yeah I know I have sooooooo many readers)

Or any poker questions? Did I confuse anyone with the lingo?
