Hey there, I'm a pro poker player blogging my sessions for you guys and for my own personal motivation. Would love to hear any feedback...

Todays session was another short and sweet one at the PLO tables. I played PLO cash games with buy ins from $600 to $5,000. I lost a couple of hands early to be down a bit over 2k, however from that point on the cards certainly went my way.

Today's graph:

My biggest pot today was a very unlucky one for my opponent as i made four of a kind against his top full house after I reraised my JJ before the flop.

My biggest losing hand cost me $1,431 as my straight was beaten by a particularly full house.

The weekend is upon us in Australia. A large swell is coming to the East Coast and I'll be heading north to hopefully find some great waves. Have a good one!

Wow, that's a nice hand... sucks to be him, but we've both been on the giving and receiving end of those many times, I am sure.

Swell great down here in Torquay as well - I reckon most of the country's coastline going to be on fire. Sounds like you've got a pretty sick life, playing poker and surfing with your time. Enjoy!

The winds are going to be a pest around here though. Never surfed around Torquay but have heard very good things. What do you do with yourself?

Surf and work, and a bit of Steemit publishing when I've got time. Just got back from three weeks in Indonesia... You have to visit there if you haven't already. Surf, play poker when the tide's not right, drink cold Bintangs, repeat. You could live for months on what you've profited in just the past few days.

I think I've spent about 5 months in indo all up. Lived in Sumatra for a couple months and been to the ments three times. Would probably live there if I could get good internet and the ability to access most of the sites...

Haha, similar to me. I just got back from the Telo Islands. You should check that out. Come on Discord and message me - I'll give you more info. Would be good to connect privately anyway.

Also, you should definitely visit PALNet on Discord and join #teamaustralia - they're a good bunch.
