What is it about Market Analysis that makes me launch a poker game? I don’t do that in any other class… anyway, I tried out some more 1/2 at Paradise and found myself up against a lot more aggression than my earlier experience would indicate. One guy was seeing 70% of the flops and raising 40% of the time. Wow. Had a bad run early on in two separate sessions when the flop would just miss me completely. The nice thing about the loose aggressive types is that they don’t believe you, even when you check-raise them. So I had guys calling me all the way to the river when I had trips, the boat, quads, or whatever, making my good hands profitable enough to net gains in both sessions. Cleared another 10% of the bonus while I was at it. As for the Grublog Poker Classic, it’s not looking good for me. That Sunday’s the day I come back from Vegas, and a friend is throwing a birthday party. After 2.5 days of gambling and drinking, I’m not sure I’ll be up for doing anything when I return.
