After 8 sessions today, mixed anywhere between 5/10 and 15/30 limit 5 card draw, I won a meager $96.50.

But if it were in terms of BB’s…I won 24.22 BB’s tonight.  To put that in perspective, if I won it all playing 15/30, I would have won $726.60.  So I am actually pretty pleased with my night.

I feel like I am playing pretty decent once again.  I am making fewer mistakes.  I had some tough luck tonight at times, but I just kept on plugging along.  Having faith in my game is huge when things don’t go well.  I just didn’t have any confidence last month, and the more I reviewed some of the plays I was making last month; the more I realize that I wasn’t just running bad, but I was also playing poorly.

I know it is hard to believe that I didn’t have confidence last month (August) after such a good July.  But I didn’t really go through all that much adversity in July.  Once variance started knocking on my door in August, I just wasn’t prepared and my game suffered.

Total to 60k: $22,131.65

Tomorrow I am heading up to DC for the Boise State vs. Virginia Tech football game.  It should be a good game.  I don’t REALLY care who wins.  But I will be rooting for Tech.  But I honestly think they will lose since:  1.  they never win when I go see them and 2. they don’t win too often on the national scene.  This is a big game for both programs as all eyes will be on them since they are the biggest match-up for opening weekend college football in terms of high ranking and closeness in rank.  I just want to see a good game, so here’s to a 4 overtime thriller!

Doubt I will be playing tomorrow as I expect to be away from home pretty much all day.  I am hoping to play in the WCOOP PL 5 card draw tournament on Tuesday though.  I just got to figure out a way to get away from work.  I just wish PokerStars will once and for all offer a limit 5 card draw tournament.  I mean why wouldn’t they offer a tournament for all the games and betting limits that they offer at the cash games?  It couldn’t be too hard of a thing for them to do.

And while I am at this whole asking for PokerStars to add stuff.  I also wish they would start offering HU tables in 5 card draw.  Just adding one table per limit would be fine.  If a person sits out, they are booted from the table.  That way, if a person sits he/she has to play or they lose their seat.  Plus, a player can only lay claim to one limit.  This will help not create a monopoly on all the limits.  I mean it gets kinda ridiculous when I see multiple players sit at every available limit waiting for competition.  But they don’t play each other.  I normally just sit at 2 limits at the most.   I would think this would discourage a player that is unfamiliar with a game from playing because this player already knows the players must be good if they won’t play each other.

Let me know if you like this idea or maybe you have another idea, if it gets enough interest maybe I will send a link to PokerStars support.  PokerStars is usually really good at keeping their players happy.
