Here We Go

Ok after seeing Kenny and Kev's blogs and the endless pressure from Kev to buy in and start a blog...Well it worked Kev haha

I just bought in $240 into my Pokerstars account and intend to build up a roll through Omaha..You guys should start expecting to see either a really short blog or a rollercoaster blog Haha


I just sat down on a $1/2 Omaha table ($120 buy in) because not only do I think that I can't handle the amount of time spent grinding at the lower limits, but I also want to make larger amounts of money faster (or lose lol)

I haven't played any Omaha (except when I beat Kev yesterday :p) ever since I stopped at the end of January..so hopefully I dont make any bad decisions on rust..

By the next few weeks, I hope to be playing the $3/6 or even the $5/10 game so here we go!

Aces!! Worthless!! :p
I think normally I would have checked that hand in the big blind because it's too obvious to pot it from the big blind..It screams ACES..But because of the large number of people in the hand, I potted it to weed out some of the crappier drawing type hands..

Pretty basic hand just to start the blog!

Well, I have to cut this session short cause of dinner and the Warriors/Lakers game!!
Nothing else interesting really happened since I didn't hit anything remotely close to being worth calling, so no more hands to post..

Overall
Start - $240
End - $233
