I didn't take a screenshot, and I've been really busy of late.
I looked through the video to see if there were any chipgraph shots I could use, but no.
I did, however save a clip of the hand that turned it all around...

Great day on stream today --
Not because I won a lot -- I was in profit, yes, but I felt good -- and after all, this is the Mind Games blog.
I got quite a few good hands, but except for 2 of them, I didn't get paid off.
But the big thing is that yesterday, I got a ticket to a $5.00 tournament on 888, so I decided to play one on stream.
I was hoping for an MTT, but all they had within the time range were rebuys, and the idea is to grow a bankroll, not spew.
$5.00 is outside my BRM, but the ticket gives me a free entry.
I played a $5.00 blast (888's version of Spingo) and snagged a 5x multiplier.
2 places paid, and we were heads up going into the All-in-whether-you-want-to-or-not phase, and I took it down.
This officially puts my 888 bankroll challenge over $100
All the best,

Well, about time!
I won a month's worth of the JNandez PLO Mastermind course earlier this month, and so far about all I've learned is what hands NOT to play.
Earlier this year, I learned from Kyyberi's PLO beginner's course what hand classes were OK to play, and between the two of them I made a FT and cashed 4th

Aw! Now we are two who were successful in PLO yesterday (?) (time shift?) ..
Could get back my lost BI´s from Saturday with PLO-CG yesterday, despite migraine 
Yesterday's Hand of the Day launched me into first place, and I stayed in the top 20 pretty much all game, finishing 12th of 255.

Not my first ever Courchevel tournament (4 or 5th I think) but still...

Maybe I should have stuck around after the end of my tournaments after all...
Very nice job!
So they even name tournaments Courchevel... must be quite a ride !
(Famous french ski station)
The name is thus appropriate.
The game is a slippery slope indeed.
I played terribly today.
I can't even complain about the cards I got -- just how badly I played them.
I have my WCOOP Schedule all set though:

If you follow that link, you'll find the whole schedule in spreadsheet form and it is easy to customize it to your own schedule.
Just put a 1 in the "Play" column by all the tournaments you want to play (and remove my 1s of course unless you're in the same game)
Hopefully I can play better than I did today.

Oh boy! What is courchevel?
It's Five Card Omaha with the first card of the flop revealed from the very beginning (i.e. during the pre-flop betting round).It's also a ski resort in the French Alps, and the name of the commune in that area. Which also has a pretty dangerous altiport (an airport for small planes and helicopters) serving it, with a very short runway, difficult terrain and no lighting aids.
Yeah courchevel is sort of nasty game. Like you get some hand like 789TTds and then open card is A and your hand is actually trash.
Sounds funny and interesting...
Yeah, Vorpal plays the really "exotic" variants and sometimes on the stream I have to pay great attention to get what exactly he´s actually playing :f_biggrin::f_biggrin::f_biggrin:
Yeah and I mean, poker is actually hard enough when you know what you are playing, come on ! ♦

And on the other hand, your preflop sets can just as well be turned into a mere bluffcatcher on later streets, possibly already on the flop.
Add to it that the game is usually played in a Hi-Lo format and you got one wild game. I played PL25 cash for a while, it was quite the ride.

You should see the exotic stuff on my stream some time, I have yet to encounter one single person in the chat who knows what's going on.
Harrier, when do you stream? Write the date and time in my blog, hope can make it.

The short answer is: Almost never. The slightly longer answer is: Whenever I happen to spontaneously get around to doing it.
But sure, I'll let you know next time. There's nothing planned for this week, though.

Courchevel is dark magicIt is like Omahahaha except that you get 5 hole cards, and the first card of the flop is shown at the time the cards are dealt (the "window" card).
So far, I have only played the Pot-limit hi/lo version, but there is also a hi-only version, and there are No-limit versions of each.
If there is a fixed-limit version, I haven't seen in on PokerStarsSo far, the only strategy adjustments I've made is to bet huge if I have a pocket pair matching the window card -- pretty transparent, but so far seems to work.
Otherwise I play it much like PLO8
Ever notice how often the short stack gets at least one double-up before busting?
This was mine today in the GGPoker Mission Freeroll...
Well, yeah I wasn't the shortest stack, but was getting into risky territory.
We're about 40 off the money here I think
Two more double-ups later, and I'm all set for a deep run, then lose AQ < AK
So it goes.
Still cashed 2nd ladder up...
