The\u00a0Poker Mutant\u00a0<\/strong>will be retiring (mostly) from poker\u00a0on 1 January. This is the latest installment in his thrilling countdown to the\u00a0End of Times<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

A downswing that started\u2014well, months ago\u2014continued tonight at\u00a0Claudia’s PLO8\u00a0<\/strong>tournament. I went because I wanted to see if my travel partner\u00a0David Long<\/strong> was there (he was, and regrettably, I was the player who busted him off the final table). I won this the last time I played it, but tonight I had to rebuy two hands in, after entering late. It was a little like a reunion of\u00a0Portland Players Club\u00a0<\/strong>regs, with\u00a0Noah<\/strong> and\u00a0Paul<\/strong>, and others at the two tables.<\/p>\n

I didn’t quite make the money, going out in 6th place after losing two multi-way hands in a row with aces in my hand. Gotta love PLO8. (They were running a\u00a0Short Deck PLO<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>cash game tonight on\u00a0PokerGO’s Poker After Dark<\/em><\/strong>, if you want real degeneracy.)<\/p>\n

The aforementioned downswing is not helping my plans to get myself out of poker jail by the end of the year. No four-figure cash since July, 20 straight losses in the Thousandaire Maker; it’s enough to put you off poker if you hadn’t already promised your wife you wouldn’t spend every night online or at a poker room.<\/p>\n
