Some days, all the luck seems to be mine, some days, otherwise
The beauty of this poker room is that it is run by the British Columbia Lottery Corp, so if I win a tournament during the week, I can buy a lottery ticket with OPM[1] — tonight's jackpot $55 million

Sadly I did not win — or even cash
I played my last "Imperial" freeroll ticket, cashing about 3 tiers up for $25 .
If allowed, I may re-join the bankroll challenge when my roll hits $50 (it is $38.03 atm.
The day before yesterday, I withdrew all but a few $ from GGPoker using an online wallet called "MuchBetter". I used to use Skrill, but the stopped allowing Canadians to move gaming money.
MuchBetter is, well, much better. The GGPoker withdrawal was in my wallet within 48 hours.
I then withdraw 3/4 of my PokerStars bankroll using the same method — it took less than 24.
I'm going to put about half of the money split two ways between KKPoker and Party
Party has a large number of PLO8 tournaments, which I love, and KKPoker is a mobile friendly app that works on Android and now, apparently on Windows.
I have some serious dislikes about KKPoker, but it is OK for just wasting time while wasting other time — I play it on a tablet while watching TV for example.

I wished them both good luck.
It seemed to work — they had it (at least more good luck than I did)
Let's start with the Magic Six
In this case, it gives me 3/4 of the pot, and the six was on the board, but still...

I ran fairly deep in this, but chased the nut-nut and missed, which cost me greatly

Small field, I felt like it.
probably dumb, but could have worked out...
I recently pulled all but 700 dollars out of Stars.
I'm somehow not really caring much these days.

Well, I definitely intend to play them soon enough, possibly even grind them, if I'm doing all right, but I first want to make sure that I have absorbed all the concepts that are necessary to play a solid game. Maybe in another week or two...

It's okay, there's even a thread for that.
Pot-limit Tournaments don't have antes...
Except on PartyPoker
This really works against tight players.
Another thing working against me is the heat and resulting brain fog.
I totally lack energy, and have made some fairly stupid decisions playing poker over the past few days

This is one of the main reasons I don´t play poker at the moment (besides busy tennis schedule)

Yeah, welcome to the club.
No Poker today.
Rather than sit around the house sweltering in the heat, why not sit in my car in air-conditioned comfort?
So I'm off to visit my brother in a few hours.
In other news I've hauled my '79 Mercedes 450 SL Convertible out of the garage to get ready to sell.
It was supposed to be a hobby car, but I rather abandoned it, then couldn't sell it. But now I must.
If it doesn't sell in a few days, I'll see if one of my nieces or nephews want it.
It would be a sin to scrap such a classic.

Hey, this looks cool! Why don´t you keep that cool car?
It needs too much work — and parts are hard to come by
No room in the garage
It was meant to be a hobby car — one I could restore to its former glory, but when I first got it, it could not pass the emission control test, so I could not drive it. Later, they stopped emissions testing, so I could drive it, but by then it needed more work than I could afford.
You want it?
You can have it for the cost of the shipping...
Doing it the hard way.
Holding 63o the hand isn't big enough to raise pre, but an OESD is enough to shove over two micro-stacks (I think)
As it turned out, only one end was live, since the 7 would have given SB the fulfilment of the gutshot

Hero wins 735
I seem to either win these or bust out early
Here are my overall stats for this game, and today's result:
I think that they could improve, but even if I had paid $0.25 per entry (I only play the daily freebie) I would still be ahead. Also it appears from the stats that I win less than it seems I do. It would be helpful to see how much of the winning amount comes from bounties
How is it that I totally suck at other forms of Hold'em?
