Poker tonight!

It's been a few days so I'm itching to play some poker!  :-) 

The WSOP is rolling so I'm considering going down to the Rio to play in the big room with 100 cash game tables or whatever.  On the Bravo Poker app it looks like they consistently have 8+ 1/2 NL games going so there is plenty of action to be had.

Then again, it might be a better idea to just play somewhere else local.  Especially during the week.  On the weekend I think the Rio would be a good idea.  Tonight thought I might hit up Boulder Station.  They have a 4/8 (w/ half kill) Omaha high-only game that runs all the time.  They get 2 or 3 tables of it, and at least when I used to play the action was super good.  Also, it looks like they are getting 1 table of 1/2 NL there nightly as well.  That game potentially could be really good.  If you are a super good 1/2 player, I doubt you are going to Boulder Station because the game isn't even running very often.  So maybe when it does run, the people TOTALLY suck.  Who knows.  I think it's worth a gamble going over there, playing the Omaha game, and getting on the list for 1/2 so when it runs I can scoop up the really terrible players' money.  Then go back to Omaha if it doesn't work out.

I'm considering playing some PLO too.  Maybe once my bankroll gets a little bigger.  I just feel like if I can get into that, maybe playing SUPER tight preflop, the action should be really good and maybe I can start really kicking ass.  Plus people on average aren't going to know how to play it that well.  Granted, I personally don't know how to play it that well either.  :P  But if I just play super tight, and everyone is playing bad, I figure on average I'll be doing pretty good. 

Finally, I'm considering jumping into some 2/5 games.  I think what I want to do is play somewhere that has both 1/2 and 2/5, maybe only with one 2/5 game, and just constantly monitor that game.  If it looks good, I jump on the list and get in.  When the game turns bad (or maybe it was already bad and I didn't notice), I get out.  Red Rock seems like a good opportunity for this because they generally only have one or two 2/5 games and they are located right next to the 1/2 games.  So I could play 1/2 but also watch those games and jump in when I feel comfortable.

The thing is that right now I have $4200 in my bankroll.  That is a great time to jump into 2/5... and win.  :P  If I jump in and lose $700, it's not a big deal at all.  But at the same time, I'll want to wait a bit before I jump back in.  Maybe until I get back over $4k.  But if I win, I can essentially stay there, which would be so sick.  So for that first session I really want to find the best game I can, kill it, and not have to look back. 

But whatever.  Tonight, Omaha and 1/2.  Let's crush.  :-)
