Goal- To attain $50K and become a $2/4 PLO reg.  I can visualize the money in my account and I presently view poker as a mental exercise.  I am getting better every week.
So it’s sunday and the first week of football, so it will be a short post.  We are having people over for the Redskins game and I wanted to put in the weekly update before the game.  Slightly hungover from last night, but definitely ready to hang out and watch some football.

I transfered money into my UltimateBet account from FullTilt and I believe I will grind UB for awhile.  The players are softer and it also gives me the opportunity to play PLO HU$25 and 4 max.  I have an edge over the majority of these players and playing shorthanded allows me to play more hands with weaker players, which is always a good thing.  4Max and HU is also a lot more fun. 

My HEM stopped working and I need to re-install it.  The funny thing is that I started playing better when I was not using a HUD.  I think it made me play more ABC (which on UB at this level is a great approach) and get away from looking at stats.  I might use the HUD to just get an initial read on certain players and then take it down, so I’m not to heavily influenced by the stats.  I have a feeling that HEM is making me call rivers that I really shouldn’t be calling.  For example just because a player is 80/25/4, he still could have hit his straight on the river. 

I started the week down and was losing on FT, but finished the week up.  I played really well on UB the latter part of the week.

Results:
UB: $598.57

FT:$149.66

Overall:$748.23

I will probably transfer the rest of my FT over to UB.  I won’t take shots at HU 50 until probably about $2.5K or $3K. Overall I feel great about the week and know that more great things are still to come in poker and life.
