Hunting, Omaha, and Black Jack

Not a whole lot of time for poker lately. Waking up at 3:30am wears a guy out. What little poker I have been playing, has been mostly omaha, or SnG's.

I've been getting out hunting most days, but have yet to stick one with an arrow. I still love just getting out there, and listening to them gobbling away on the roost. Bagging one is just a bonus. Turkey on toast with mayo, lettuce, and cheese makes a great lunch.

I've always liked omaha, but haven't really played it a lot until recently. I even shipped a tourney. The first one I've played in a couple years. It was only a $5.50, but a win is a win!

I also played another one, and bubbled it. I've really been getting into playing 6 max .05-.10 PL games. I've been doing a lot better than I was playing Holdem ring games, so I think I'll stick with it for now. Play good hands, wait for the nuts, then bet the hell out of it, seems to work pretty well at the micro limits. I'm pretty sure I'm still overrating my hands pre-flop, but I'm working on it.

I've also been playing some of those elimination black jack tourneys on UB. Probably too much. I qualified for the 1.5k guaranteed tonight, so hopefully I can get lucky.

Edit: I got 5th place for $105. Not bad for a free entry!

Keep on truckin on,
Vikes
