Lodge Results for Sunday 12/02/06

First time I have been able to play at the Lodge for over a month. I recently changed jobs and now will be working on Sundays, made the change for money and job security. Now eventually I will be able to have money to play cash again. As far as the Lodge is concerned, nothing steller happened, I finished in 8th place which was my best finish in months there. I did make it that far by deciding to gamble and call an all in for T225 which was the amount I had with K9s and caught my K taking down A9o. Guy was pissed, but I told him it has happened time and time again.

I also have been playing poker at Clicks for many months now, they have games every night of the week except Friday and Sunday. It is a league and if you get 1 win and play at least 20 games in a 4 month season, you get invited to the final and winner gets trip for 2 to Vegas. Plus if you win on Saturdays you get $35 bar tab. First season I only had 1 win in 60 games so I decided to change up this season. I decided to loosen up a bit and get more aggresive as well as chase a bit more. It seems to have worked because in 17 games I have 3 wins, 7 times heads up and 14 final tables. Now the final table percentage is not normal because we play shootout style where top 2 or 3 from each table of 7-9 go to the final. However my percentage of final tables since last season has increased significantly also my points per game have gone from 7.1 to 14.2 but I will wait on that because my cards have not been steller, but they have not been horrid either. When my cards go completely dead will determine if this change in style is working for the best.

P.S. Lost $200 at Winstar on Wednesday... 1st $100 was lost when my A high flush was beat by a straight flush. 2nd $100 vanished when KQs called my UTG preflop raise of $15 in a 1-2 game with AA and chased to the RIVER where he caught his straight. Oh well, so much for donkey free poker...
