Couple of things in the works

Had alot going on the past few days between work, family, and poker. Went on a nasty little downswing that I compounded a bit with tilt/bad play. I've found how my TILT manifests itself, but unfortunately it isn't always evident when I'm experiencing it. Only after I've pulled back and relaxed do I have the clarity to see it. It comes down to....marginal spots. When I'm playing well, I play marginal hands and marginal spots correctly(debatable?). When I'm on tilt, I play these poorly and put myself in the position where I'm playing in them frequently. And when playing a game that is filled with marginal spots, it can become a serious, I.E. costly, problem. As a basic example, I end up valuing, thus playing, hands like AJ73ss the same as I would A246ds. See the difference?

I've had a few exciting developments involving poker in the past few days as well, one which is still tentative, so I won't get into it yet. The other, I can discuss and will be discussing further in the next couple of days.

The Pot Limit Omaha Book
What I can discuss. I was contacted by SlowHabit, a highly regarded mid and high stakes pro most recently known for Let There Be Range, the venerated eBook he wrote with Cole "CTS" South, and given the opportunity to participate in a pre-release review and discussion of his next eBook. The subject matter? PLO. I was psyched to say the least. I'm not done with it yet, and plan on doing a full review of it in a few days, but at this time, to say it's good, would be an understatement.

I was reading for a bit and then it hit me. I realized that I was actually learning something new. It was early on, in Chapter 2: Pre-Flop Play, in a discussion regarding equity and calling 4 bets. The author, through different equity calculations and graphs, shows a proper way to determine post flop EV versus a likely flop shove and how you should use this in your pre flop decision making. This is a theory that I have never seen discussed, let alone articulated, anywhere. And again, this is just in Chapter 2. Oh, Chapter 1 is the introduction.

Time to go. It's thundering, lightening, raining and hailing outside so if I lose power I want to make sure my laptop has plenty of juice.
