Hi all

As u know i "retired" from serious poker.
I concentrate a bit more on MMA

Had 3 hard Training fights on Saturday.
As almost always ... it was fun but painful

In the second fight i got caught in an Armbar ( Jiu-gatame) ... i tried to escape but dindt suceed
couldt tap out fast enough to avoid my ellbow joint getting hurt.
Was a really nasty cracking sound and for a second i thought its broken T_T but then i realized its no serious injury
Think it will be 100% heald in about 3-4 days.
pretty painfull right now but i could move my arm

So its good.
I cant deney though that i am not too happy about the fact that i get injured almost every training fight lately T_T
I love MMA though and will continue as long as i can.

I also heared my idol GSP will fight Matt Hughes for the 3rd time UFC 79 on 29.December ( therefore the NEWs and NOtes TOPIC)
I hope he kicks Huges ass again and then wins the title rematch vs Serra.
Liddell vs Silva also could be a very interesting fight since both ex LH champions who were suppoused to be the best 205 fighters in the world come from 2 straight loses
( Silva got KOed by CroCop and Henderson // Liddell got KOed by Rampage and lost descision to Jardine)

Pokerwise :

As i said i just played a few games for fun.

here are the stats ( i ll edit them when something changes):
Poker HU stats

Nl 1$ 3-2
Nl 2$ 6-4
Nl 5$ 1-4
Nl 30$ 1-0
Plo 1$ 2-1
Plo 2$ 1-0

got 214th in a 1400 people 5$ freezout .... TOP 150 paid
and lost 5 $ in HU cashgame ...

+ 14 $ or something overall ...dont really know

GL ALL

EDIT :

I have a question about draw play in HU sngs.
When i lose its mostly due to flush draws not hitting giving me a 0,8 : 2,2 chip disadvantage.Then i must play more agressive with medium hands and run into monsters ... I realized u have to play draws weaker than in cashgame
since u cant reload when u miss which will be like 70% of the time T_T

so everytime u dont hit your draw u not only lose some chips , you also get a significant disadvantage in follwing hands of the game.
You have to play marginal hands more agressive than u would with a 1:1 chip ratio.
U can hardly fold medium hands anymore T_T ( otherwise u get pushed around all the time.)

Are my thoughts correct ?
