He was spewy to begin with, and most certainly on tilt. I think my sale price on the turn was too good to resist.

I guess since I wrote that title I should start off talking about pot limit omaha.  I think the biggest reason I have such a history of tilting plo, is its hard to get used to the swings.  It is just way more turbulent the playing NLHE, and its a real gambler's game (which is one of the reasons I like playing it so much).  However, you need to expect to go up and down.  A LOT.  REALLY REALLY FAST.  For instance, in 10/20 NLHE, even 6 tabling, its rare for me drop or win more than 5K in any 30 minute period, and its really stressful to lose like 8K (I usually would just quit if that happens).  Meanwhile playing 10/20 PLO its common to be up or down $10K before you blink.

It used to be really hard for me to deal with this, and maybe I was playing too high at plo simply for the tilt factor.  So on thursday night through friday morning I played a marathon 11 hour session of 2/4 and 3/6 plo, in which I was down 3K in the first hour, then hovered there for a couple hours, at about 2AM I was even, by 2:45 I was up $1620, by 3:20 I was down $800,  and by 5AM up $5500.  I had several more $2-3k swings til 7AM when I finished I was +$3473.

The main reason I am so happy (besides making my monthly withdraws right after the session), was that although I lost focus a few times, I didn't tilt the entire night, and I think I was playing very well the whole time.

Today, I'm having a really nice day with the fam.  After Tony's gymnastics this morning we went shopping with the kids.  Tony wanted a Lakers jersey for "Jersey Day" at school next week, and Elena picked up a "Los Lakers" jersey which she likes reppin' the LA Latinos.  It was a big enough draw that she decided to buy a Kobe Jersey as it was the only one they had left.  If you missed it, they wore them for "Latin Night" on easter sunday:

Speaking of this I'm watching the game right now, but am paying more attention to the nfl drat right now, as the lakers.

We also got cool family pictures taken dressed up in the old school english fashions.  Actually, given my hat, it looks like I am in the 40s and about to order a hit after posing for the picture.

In other news, I think I have gotten fatter than I ever did before.  I'm looking for some motivation as I am now married and do not need to attract partners for adult diversion .  So if you are interested in making any sort of weight loss related prop bet with me over the next couple of months, get in touch with me.  I was thinking on the order of $10K would provide sufficient motivation for me, and it would be fun to see me in vegas for much of the series actually tring to drop weight considering that I don't sleep when good games are going and generally eat like crap during the WSOP.

Oh, I almost forgot, I made a graph of my monster PLO session:

On the bright side, I've made $1400/hour this week, and on the brigher side, it has been only 2 hours of work so far :D
