Busy busy busy…
Wow, long time no write. Not much really to say related to this blog. I’ve been super busy with my new job and have really neglected my poker. I have still been playing occaisionally but nothing spectular and no major hours put in. Been running bad in the stt’s, but then I tend to do so when I don’t keep my hand in and am not really focusing properly.
Bizzarely I took 4th place in a Pot Limit Omaha H/L mtt the other night for a few hundred, which I found amusing given my limited knowledge of Omaha H/L. Basically just used solid tournament strategy and played really aggro in position.
Even more bizzarely, the US goverment have finally gone completely insane and banned online poker. Apparently the taxation of this industry for the US govt. would be worth in excess of $3billion, however they felt it was more important to ban it completely and preserve their neo-right wing "family values". Yeah ok, that makes sense. So, the knock on effect for us European players isn’t going to be good, the good ole boys in the US of A account for 80% of online players, share prices are plumetting and the industry is in a bit of a panic. We await with baited breath to see the full out come of this truely odd scenario.
Anyways, for the time being, I’m now back into my poker and will be updating more often with my high and lows, may aswell make the most of it whilst everyone is still around.
bloody republicans.

I know I’m kind of flogging a dead horse here but I really don’t know why you don’t switch to cash games, money aside they’re ideal for shorter sessions. None of this 5 hour donkament shenanigans only to lose a coinflip on the bubble.
Maybe try messing about with some 100NL and see how soft it is?
p.s. Fuck Bill Frist
