Alright so it's been too long, grind on the mind and all that. I knew I was abusing the blog, leaving it untouched for so long.
I've come a fair old way since my last post, my roll now stands at $1,138.72. It's always nice to be able to put a comma in it, that's what I say. I've made a lot of money in a relatively short period of time, most likely thanks to moving up to $1/$2 limit games and playing those $11 PLO8 turbos. I've also sat in a few $0.10/$0.25 PLO games, I feel I am quite good in that game.
I got to that point basically playing a few $11 PLO8 sit n gos (couple of $50 1st places, a lot more 2nds), some PLO (+$52), and the rest comes from Stud 8 ($.5/$1, $1/$2), a teensy bit of NLHE $0.05/$0.10 deep tables (+$40) and limit Omaha 8. I have really crushed the 6max O8 lately. I managed to sit with drnkyrmlkshk who is a 2p2er and O8 reg. We chatted a bit and he said he admired my game and that I was a lot stronger than my threads give me credit for. I was glad to get that compliment from him because I know he does well in the limit O8 cash games and has his own roll of around $4700, he is a strong player himself and I know he knows it. So if he can know what makes a strong player and he sees it in me it's probably a correct assessment, right?
With regards to my staking deal, I have opted to build up to at least $1500 then end the deal. Alternative options centered around buying a piece of the stake which meant I would have to make less money to get off it.
Until next time, signing off,

Just so you know my last 2+2 comment in your staking thread was all tongue & cheek (Buzz took it the wrong way IMO--Then again that is his right). Best of luck to you, & way to put in a blog update (they may be harder than playing poker).
