Excellent WSOP Coverage from Pauly
FYI Pauly's "Tao of Poker" blog has by far the best WSOP coverage of anyone going. Next best thing to being at the event. I was at the finals last year, and i'm still evaluating flying down for the main event this year.
In personal poker news, I'm just getting railed at the $50 NL tables this week. You may want to come look for me and help yourself to some of my chips. Might as well be giving them to people I know, as I seem to be content to hand them to anyone who asks.
The worst part is that its not just bad beats, like the runner runner straight that cracked my aces for a $90 pot yesterday, or the runner runner straight that cracked my trip sevens a few minutes ago. Its taking a flop with AKd and the flop comes 9TJ of hearts and having two people bet in to me. Or getting my money in the middle with an overpair against someone holding TPTK and having them draw out on me on the river (comment #1).
It just seems that the poker monkey-gods are throwing some feces in my direction this week, and every flop I take is about the worst possible flop for whatever two cards I happen to be holding at the time. Yeah, i know, I'm rehashing bad beats and its breaking rule #1 of the poker blogersphere. Feel free to meet me at a $50 NL table this weekend and take some of my money in cruel retribution.
Frustrating thing is, I feel like I'm playing good poker. I played some excellent poker last night to grind my way back to nearly even for the session after losing at least two buy-ins early. 430 hands last night with a rate of (6.42)BB/100. Tonight's final stats: 464 hands @ (37)BB/100. Yeah. That's slightly more than three buyins. VP$IP of 27.5% for the session with an agression factor of 3.3 excluding pre-flop (1.16 including pre-flop AF of .53, with an impressive 5.6 flop AF and 3.0 river AF). I feel i'm playing my usual agressive game and playing decently tight for my style, but the bankroll just keeps dwindling this week.
I may take a break from the tables this weekend, despite a complete lack of plans for the weekend excluding a dinner+movie appointment Sunday night.
