Played SCOOP 30-M (PLO/8) as planned. Had a decent first hour. Missed the entire second hour as I left work, went home, found I had no internet, turned around, got dinner and went back to work. Amazingly - thanks PLO/8 - I only lost a couple hundred chips to blinds.

The third and fourth hour went badly. I played very few hands but should have played even fewer. Really it wasn't memorable at all other than for the fact that I folded junk hand after hand. I know you have to do more than play your own hand, but when you keep getting Q722 and you have two heavy raisers on your right you fold and fold and fold some more.

I made one fairly stupid play that cost a decent part of my stack. Holding A4xx I got a free card following a A94 flop. Turn was a 2 iirc, checked around, river another ace. Called a bet thinking chop only to find someone holding A94x. Sigh.

So I busted in the middle of hour four, taking a stand (when you have almost no chips can you really call it that?) with a pretty crappy hand that whiffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffed completely.

Standard.

Not good at poker.

So I have one chance left, most likely Saturday's HORSE low event. I'd play tonight's NLO8 pushmonkey fiesta but I don't think I'll be home. Besides, there is no freaking way I run good enough to cash in unlimited four card split bingo.
