Hey guys, been about a month since I updated. Before I talk about poker I want to mention seomething else. As some of you already know from Skype my 14 year old cousin just found out he has cancer in his throat a few weeks ago and it’s not looking the best. I don’t know every detail about his situation right now or whether they think it can be beat or not but I do know that it’s not going to be easy and will be hard on his parents mentally and financially. I wanted to help them somehow so I was trying to think of ways I could maybe raise a little money for them because the parents now has to quit their jobs and go to another city for at least 7 months for the treatments and they didn’t have a lot of money as it is..I’m guessing just enough to survive on but I doubt much savings. I was thinking of things like a small tournament that some people may have played to help me but would be hard to do especially since this type of stuff is not allowed on TwoPlusTwo..Anyway I hate asking for things but figured I might as well try to do something so I set up a fund on www.chipin.com so if anyone would like to make a small donation it would be greatly appreciated. Here is the website for my fund http://lpcollins.chipin.com/bradley-oram-fund and if anyone would like to donate something on any of the poker sites you could send to Newff on Full Tilt or LPC3000 on Pokerstars.
Poker: HUSNG’s have just been horrible in the last 6 moths but I played bad in that time and to be honest I find it hard to get motivated to focus and play lately. After working a lot on my game I managed to grind out 1k over a small sample at the $50′s and then on my last days off I managed to get 2nd in the multi entry Midnight Madness on Full Tilt for 3.3K which was sweet (thx to those who railed). So feeling confident after fixing a ton of leaks and a nice score I figured since I was now over rolled again for the $100′s I should get back to playing them so I played $110 Turbos for a few days winning a few buyins but then dropped 1k in like an hour which hurt. Then I had to withdraw a little from my account so my bankroll took a little hit. I’ve decided that I’m going to move down quite a bit just so I can grind without being results oriented to see where I stand over a large sample. I want to be able to start learning a lot again and not have a downswing effect me mentally and want to see where I am as a player. I will be grinding $30 Turbos to see how my results are and am hoping to learn a lot and if my results are good I’ll probably just move up quickly. Would have been nice to take advantage of Primo and Hokies Bootcamp but can’t because of my job..I see my friend RotarySB is going which is sick, can’t wait to see how things go for him and hopefully he crushes.
