GO SHARKS
Ive been back home to see some of the sharks games the last two weeks. Last night was game seven (in a best of seven series, so loser goes home). I dont think Ive ever enjoyed going to a hockey game as much as I did this one. The 17,496 sold-out crowd was awesome the whole game. The game was really close for the first 2 periods, with calgary leading 2-1 in the early 2nd period, but the sharks scored 4 unanswered goals to take a 5-2 lead and held them off the rest of the way to win 5-3. Here are a few pictures I took on my iphone:

Sorry I havent been making a lot of blog updates lately, Ive been really busy with poker and videos and life in general. Ill try and stay more on top of things.
February was an awesome month for me. I got pretty consistent action throughout and I was really happy with how I played. Ive also started to dabble in Pot Limit Omaha with mixed results. So far Ive been a small winner when playing HU PLO (I think a lot of NLHE HU strategy carries over) and a moderate loser at shorthanded games. My initial impressions of the game are as follows:
1. A lot of the higher-level thinking processes carry over from Hold em (duh)
2. PLO affords a mentally stable individual more opportunities to take advantage of tilty opponents due to its inherent higher swings/variance
3. An expert HU PLO player could expect to have a larger edge than an expert HU HE player since there are more spots to apply pressure and put your opponent to decisions
My resolution for march is to put in at least 10k hands of plo. It will be interesting for me to see how my impressions of the game change as I get more hands under my belt and whether these initial conjectures hold true.
