All Quiet-ish

Not much to update with really, except that I took a huge risk over the weekend that *almost* paid off. I bubbled the $215 PLO weekly on Saturday. It all ended with this terribly played hand:

I couldn't believe my terrible preflop play in retrospect. RAISE PRE-FLOP WITH ACES!!!!!

There's a decent discussion going on over at Chiptalk, check it out!

I took a 4th place last night in a $33. Yay-ish. If I had have stopped and thought about things on the last hand, I could have walked into 3rd easy, and maybe even 2nd. It was one of those hands where I raised pre with an excellent starting hand, and then totally missed, and felt like I was committed so went all the way with it. I should have realized that the guy in front of me was calling/chasing, and I should have shut down. Oh well. Lesson learned. FT still boggles my mind some times.
