Rinse Repeat

Breakeven.

Win a stack with a set

Lose one on the next table with KK / bricked super draw / underset blah blah

Rinse

Repeat

Now that would be a shite update wouldn’t it? But that’s the general gist of recent poker activity. Exciting huh?

That fishy site from the last post is just that – real fishy. Its like a throw back to the days when I first started playing cash at 20nl. Limp fold limp limp complete check, 5 people see flop, Small Blinds 82o stacks Cut-Offs over limped KK. The play at 200nl is shocking. Seriously. My colour coding notes system had to be revised. I have only one ‘positive’ colour now – red is assigned to ‘competent’ and even then some of those tagged with that open limp with alarming regularity. Major downside to this apparent gold-min is the lack of hand history – villain calls and mucks and I have no idea if he’s just called me down with TP or 5th pair. I’ve requested HH’s by email but they haven’t been sent. Also the min buy-in is just 10bb’s. There are only a few rat-holing SS’ers but loads of recreational 10bb guys who do random stuff. I’m awaiting results of withdrawal and promptness of rakeback payment before recommending to anyone.

It’s almost a relief to play on Ipoker after that. My affiliate has set up a deal with Deuces Cracked for free membership for raking a certain amount on my skin. Obviously to get his low-rakers to put some more hands in. Well I’m well above the required amount even in my quietest months, so yay free stuff. I think I’ve previously watched all the best NLHE stuff there on their ‘free’ weeks. Any recommendations warmly received.

Busy week of drinking, pool, football and snooker coming up. That difficult first million will have to wait a bit.
