PLO Today NLH Tomorrow

Played the 1.5k PLO today and although I didn't cash I just missed. I felt like I played well, and put my chips in well at the end. I thought it was one of the better fields so far, and I guess I'm getting closer. A student of mine who plays locally at the Borgata, Roslyn Quarto, made the ladies final table and although she started extremely short stacked, finished 7^th. She played well and got it in with QQ vs. AK at the end. Of course an ace fell and ended her bid for a bracelet. When I left for the night Mike Matusow was leading in the 2-7 no limit single draw. I am hoping he takes it down, although I heard he just lost a hand with a flush. Come on Mike you know better than that, it's a low ball game.

I am going to play the 5k NLH tomorrow and fell good about it. You start with 10k in chips and it's a pretty good structure. My good friend Jay Berger is coming out this weekend and I hope he will bring a change of luck for me. I am going on record saying, I am going deep in this 5k event. Maybe I should take the advice a golf coach of mine gave me and apply it to poker; "you need to take two months off and then give the game up!" Alright I'm not going that far, but winning a bracelet or two would give me an immediate attitude adjustment. I heard Ivey placed a whole lot of action on himself betting he would win a bracelet at this year's WSOP at 1.8 : 1.0. Although he is arguably the best all around player in the world, that's pretty cocky. I do think my odds are better than 2.5 : 1.0. Don't worry I'm just kidding. Well it's bedtime for Bonzo, more tomorrow.
