I recently just got my laptop rebuilt and my PLO DB back on it. In that time, I have been playing HU here and there with some success. I am excited to be putting together a bunch of posts for the small stakes forums, since they seem to die unless I decide to unveil my donkiness.

Just wanted to let you fellas know that I am still alive and jammin'!

GL all,

Had to back up all of my shit and migrate over to Windows 7. I obviously can't read directions, because my HEM isn't working yet. Soon enough I'll touch back on the hands that I posted a while back during my 10k hand review. So far, the OS has been great, and I'm really looking forward to using it.

It seems to be much easier to play the game when I have an established image at the table where my opponents have to guess a little bit more.

I haven't started eating mandarins yet, although...

Playing a little bit more monkeyish as of late and finding some OK spots as of late. Gotten my money in bad a few times, but it hasn't gotten out of control. I seem to have a problem where I am able to figure out the likely "correct" play, but it takes me far too long. I am really hoping that it is a learning process and decisions will come to me more naturally. I have a small list of general thinking before betting/checking:
