Catching up..

Well it's been a while since I arrived home from Vegas. I have not managed to play one hand of 'live' poker since I got back and the drought continues as I am nipping over the pond to visit the folks in Englandshire.

I have managed to play a little online in between catching up with the business and reporting on the IPT final. I am pretty much even for the 10 days or so. I have been grinding away in the low limit cash games and using the resulting winnings to fund the MTT entries. Unfortunately the MTT's have not been good to me although I have not played that many. I seem to be in the 'getting deep, but not deep enough' mode (ooh er!).

As for the low limit (10/20c - multitabling) it is sooooo fishy and I am averaging about $40/hr when I get chance to play. Example - I have raised with QJs and the flop is Qxx, I call a bet and the turn is a J, there are no straights or flushes (apart from draws to the river) and my oppo bets half his stack (?) which only equates to about $5 so I put him all in figuring I was pot committed if I called. He called instantly and I thought uh oh a set, but no he had 22! Another hand I was called on a Ace high flop for all his chips with Q high after a raise-reraise war, I had a set, he had Queen high (no draw)! I asked him if he had pressed the wrong button. 'I thought you were at it' was the reply.

Also I have started playing on a top secret site that is in beta testing (although it is real money I am playing with). Again I am swimming in the low limits to fund MTT entries, today I had quads and a straight flush in one session and got paid on both. Yummee.
