btw: TwiceT is always right 
gl for your goals sir! kill em!
1st March : The month couldn't start better
I won flips, hit boards and even sucked out ! I'd forgotten how good that makes you feel and god, this is great.
By the way, I didn't play that much yesterday because I was a little bit tired and had to get up early. I won't play much this evening for the same reasons but wednesday will be a "grind day" and, hopefully, a winning day 
Last thing : I really feel confident about my game, 2-3 mistakes sometimes but if I carry on playing like this, I'm almost sure to crush the limit.
Today's session :
I've played many hands, I thought I wouldn't play that much. I'm not super happy with my game for this session but well, it wasn't that bad.
Two things to say :
- At the begining of the session, I ran really hot. I sucked out on big stacks but then bad luck came back to me and put the EV line close to my green line.
- I've played with 2-3 guys, regulars I guess, and they kept 3betting me when they were in position. Their 3bet % was between 10 and 15%, which is HUGE. Unfortunately, I didn't get good cards so I couldn't 4bet them and had to tighten up a little bit. When I finally got good Aces, I lost them

03/03/2010, Up and Down
It started really well with a 4.5 buy ins up, still below the EV but after I took a break and played again, things didn't go the right way. Sometimes too many fish at the same table is just too much and the variance in omaha doesn't help ♠_mad:
But well, at least I won almost a stack (+ almost 3 stacks under EV) and I played well. If I carry on playing like this, everything should be fine for the following days (hopefully ♦ ).

I knew something was wrong when he raised me on the flop, that's why I didn't push all in and just checked/called.

Finally someones who says something about those stupid pics 
07/03/2010 : That's a nice one
I haven't played much today (400 hands) but I ran really hot ! 134bb/100 ♠_cool:
+5 buy ins, 4 above the EV line. I didn't really suck out (well, only a 100bbs pot where I had a pair + flush draw and won against AA+Nfd ). But this time, I won my 60/40, 55/45's.
When a draw beats the nut on the flop ♠_cool:

I love this graph ♠_love:
About the 06/03/2010, it hasn't been really good I was winning $200, decided to play a lot a ended up losing 2 buy ins.
The good news about that session, is that I recorded it for suitedeule (omaha coach) and he'll make a session review soon (available on ps.com). ♠_grin:
@Vonki : Sorry, I couldn't resist, I'm addicted to your profile.

lol, ty for dedicace.
Btw i've had a poker break for 2 months, cuz i just couldn't forget about my $18k loses in omaha, and bad mind=downswing for ever.
As titan offered me $30 cash I decided it was the time to go back at poker, and plo obv. turned it into $3k in a week thx to donkaments.
So I'm back to plo too (but low stakes for the moment: very tight BRM), and will follow your blog as well as the one of TwiceT.
See you soon in plo100 so, cuz my BR will be rdy for it next month I think 
Kalimeth is in tha place ! ♠_cool:

08/03/2010 + 09/03/2010 : I'm running so cold
I've made some bad mooves but some awful set ups + coin flips losses last days... Plo is sick 
Well, at least I'm still positive this month, but I can't be happy about that graph
At ~4200 hands, it was the begining of yesterday...
Hopefully I'll get lucky for my next sessions.
Hey , are you still interested in a sweat session some time? Contact me if your interested, let me know what sort of time is best
Keep battling away at PLO100, ill sure you'll crush it in no time! ♠_cool:
It's been such a long time since I haven't posted news on my blog 
About Plo 100 : They don't want me 
I just played one Plo 100 session since the last update and lost 2.5 buy ins. Nothing really interesting to say, fishes hit and I didn't.
So I decided to take a small break and wait a little bit before hitting the Plo 100 tables again, and party with friends instead ♠_biggrin:
Friday is going to be a huge party, hopefully I'll get nice pics to post here
About Plo..... 25 ?! 
"What !? Kojika's playing Plo 25 ?!"
Yes I am ♠_cool:
Let me explain that ♠_grin:
I wanted to watch some videos about politics, ... but while doing that, I played some Plo 25 tables (2-4 depending on the action ♠_biggrin: ).
I think I'm crushing it...
Eh, sick graph, 14BI in 2.5K hands? I'll vote for you in upcoming president election
@Jackalof and SirVanek : Come on... That's not even an upswing
16/03/2010 :
I didn't play yesterday and watched Plo videos instead (Suitedeule's videos are great ! I love his Lag style ).
As I said before in this blog, he's made a review of one of my Plo 100's session (available in Ps.com in a few weeks). I haven't watched it yet but I will do it as soon as I can (I'm really looking forward ♠_biggrin: ).
I almost forgot to say that I'm leaving Mansion Poker and I'll prolly move to Titan Poker (Same players, better rakeback for me). So I decided to get a $55 Tournament Ticket with my points and registered in a $55 DoN Sh Turbo (The only Hold'em game where I'm not that terrible ). I really think I was better than my opponents and I haven't been unlucky (Ak>89o).. +$100 yesterday then
I know this hand isn't interesting at all, but it made me feel good preflop, very good on the flop, puked on the turn and delighted on the river ♠_love:

Considering that in the first 2.5k hand on Titan (moved here for a couple weeks) i had like +3BI (hard to track do to $,eu and £ tables) than in the next 500 hands i lost like 5, i say its upswing
