Wii Time

So poker has been on the back of my mind lately. I think I'm averaging about 2 or 3 SNGs a day and that's dwindling. I haven't sat a cash game in a while. I think I'm gonna take a break since it's not a focus for me right now. It probably has to do with the huge downswing I took at Full Tilt so I'm not really in the mood. I do have to say I barely tilted at all, which is good for me.

Rob and I picked up Super Mario Galaxy today so I think I will work on beating that instead. So far, very good game, but I only had a chance to try it out for an hour and a bit before I had to head to work. Also, for the Wii, Brawl will be out soon and we want to pick that game up too. So a bunch of games to work on for a while before I go back to poker.

On Fire

I don't think I've ever run so good. I was hitting, I was winning, it was very nice. I even set a few records for our league night. Most kills in a night and highest score.

I ended up taking out 8 of the 13 people in the tournament, plus I won, so that gave me massive points towards the league (99 total). I was hitting hands huge and they were holding. Plus, I was able to get called or call all ins and have the hand hold.

So two months in and two wins. Definitely a good start to the points. Hopefully, I can get a good lead early, just in case I start running bad later in the year.

Leaving Cake

Not permanently, as it was always easy to find a table with one or two fish, but for some down time. It's against the ToS to use a HUD there and I'm finding it difficult without one. Mostly, it's because I don't watch the table while I play. I'll surf, I'll watch TV, whatever. So I'm not really picking up on patterns.

Part of the reason I'm taking a break is, surprisingly, Full Tilt offered me a $75 bonus, so I broke down and deposited and I'm working to clear that. I'm pretty sure I don't have rakeback, but I could be lucky and have actually signed up through TP. That would be very nice if it turns out I did though.

I'm trying a little datamining there as well. Not as aggressively as others at the forum, but I plan on opening up 4-6 tables before I start to play and then once the stats populate, then join the waiting lists of the best. As well, if a seat opens out of position of the table fish, I can stand up and try again.

I have been using a website to find fishy tables, but I've been finding that as soon as I get to the table, the fish are all gone or I'm on the wrong side of the bad player. Not easy to win that way.
