theres a common form of poker that i went my whole life hardly ever playing, limit holdem. in fact im surprised this game still exists. a couple of poker rooms here in shreveport have it about once a week, in the $20-40 version. Because it was going it ruined my 10-20 hilo omaha 8 yesterday, because the worst player in the game was in it instead. so of course i lost. ive been losing a lot of sessions of 10-20 hilo lately, well over $1000 worth and i used to always win at that game. but now i need to play a PL or NL version of it to win. 

my only limit experience was in stud, and i usually played 1-5 spread limit which is quite different than limit and more like PL. i think ive forgotten how to play limit and maybe it hurt me to not have any limit experience. the only times i played limit holdem was when i had on me $100 or less and broke and was too lazy to go to a casino that had another game going besides $2-4 fixed limit. 

im back to around 26k from over 29k, thats over 3000 gone since leaving Houston. some on expenses but ive got great deals on room prices (at both casinos) and when i was staying at a regular motel that wasnt nearly as safe. most of the loss was about 6 out of 7 losing days lately, some for over 1000. and im certainly no longer carrying too much cash for a plane. in fact i think i put too much cash into cash app. 

were it not for all the horror stories ive read about highway cops, and TSA seizing peoples money who had as little as $2000 or $4000 on an amtrak or on the highway, id probably flown out of here long ago when i still had 7 or 8k in cash on me. 

i wish i was anywhere other than here, (except for the great deals im getting on much lower room prices than anyone else). For i cant win unless im in Texas, and that is NOT a good thing. i should be able to win no matter where i am. i made over 80k last year  (and thats a wild guess of course) and its a good thing i banked much of it or id be broke now, but am rapidly getting down to zero and i doubt ive had even 20k in income this year. 

also i got my facebook banned and my mother is wondering why, and im not comfortable telling her the reason. its a little embarrassing. 

someone i never knew who they were was at my table the other day, (Black guy named Brandon) and i thought the reason he added me as a friend on facebook 2-3 yrs ago was from playing at the clubs in Houston (those were listed as friends of his). he was telling the young pro at my table who had recently won big in a stud tourney that he could “get him a girlfriend”. so i commented on his page and sent him a link to a hookers ad on escort alligator for shreveport and asked him “was this the woman?”. 

now as we all know, no humans review facebook, and theres no customer service to email them. everything is automated and done by robots. and Brandon says he didnt even know of my comment to him and never saw it. the algorhythm removed my link and i got my account banned because they said id had multiple strikes in the past and was “promoting human trafficking”. now a real person would see i wasnt but only joking around. but theres no live customer support. 

i was also going to talk about some weird dreams but ive forgotten them by now. all i remember is having to go up really high on a highway being pulled up by rope on some lighthouse shaking in the air, and looking for food inside wondering how i could call for help through some electronic gidget. and being afraid for my safety and going outside a house to get an Uber, and a city bus showing up instead, and me not knowing how to find a Philliac casino on the east coast and the bus entering a really bad neighborhood filled with unsafe $20 hotels. but a lot of the details and the minor dreams and the poker hands involved ive forgot the details. i do remember something about being mad the church no longer had scrabble games.
