Five spot

Last night, I had another minimum profit session; I played three sit and gos, and won one of them. I have a nice little streak going; I've won at least one sit and go in my last five sessions. Call it a five spot :-) Of course, it's bad luck to talk about a streak while it's still in progress, but I feel like crowing a little. I did some research and discovered that the maximum number of consecutive sit and go no limit hold'em sessions I've had where I've had at least one first place finish is six, so I could tie that record tonight.

Five spot

Last night's session was memorable for the winning streak I had at the end -- I won five hands in a row. The thing is, I didn't even realize I was on the streak until I was saving the history of the fourth hand; the PokerStars software highlights the hands you win in green, and I suddenly noticed a nice little set of text lines in green!

Good poker decisions in general, and good Omaha poker decisions specifically, are really starting to become second nature to me. There's a curious side effect of this, though -- I don't get quite as much of a rush playing as I used to. Don't get me wrong, it's still very enjoyable; it's just more routine than it used to be.

I'm sure my complaisance will wear off fast if I go on a losing streak, but right now I feel like I have Omaha all figured out. Famous last words?
