It's the Economy, Dummy!

The games at Oceans have been really weak lately. Oceans started a nice feature where they send out a text message when a high limit game starts, like 20/40 or 40/80. Unfortunately, they aren't very consistent about sending out the text message. When Lonnie works, he seems to be pretty good about sending out the text message. So on Wednesday I got a text message in the early evening that a 40/80 game got started. I sent out some messages and it was revealed to me that the game was pretty good. So I went ahead and headed out to the casino. I got there about 8:30pm. There was a single 40/80 with a short list, NO 20/40! It had broken at 7:45pm. I don't think I have ever seen that before. Even the 40/80 broke early around 11:30pm or so that night, so I didn't play that long, and I won the grand total of 16 bucks in that game. I did however go on a heater and won over 1k in the 8/16 game that I played for a couple of hours.

I've had a very good last week, results wise. I played 4 days, 8 different sessions (I consider playing at any level a session), and I won in all 8. Not all were huge wins, but at least I didn't lose in any of them. I'll have to double check my logs, but I don't think I've had a perfect week for quite a while. For the week, I put in a total of 20.75 hours and averaged $200.67 an hour, so pretty damn good. I have been working really hard on playing my A game, all of the time, particularly preflop, and I think that I am starting to play dividends.
