The home-game, 11 manned

Yes, it sucked this week. 11 players didn't help. The button took forever to get round the table.

Went all in

- on gutshot straight on 4th st. Only did so because (a)rebuy hour (b) 3 other players already in the pot committed (c) if I hit, I would defo win. Anyway, no surprise I lost.

- other two times K10 suited and something else....ran into AA both times!!! And lost of course....

- All in on A8 offsuit, up against A10 offsuit, spiked an 8 and actualy won that hand.

Finished 7th, spent £50. Urgh!

Ach well, finished 1-2-1 previous visits. With the turbo-blind stucture, if you don't get lucky you don't get paid.

Ross won in the end.

Full Tilt Experiment

I've decided to play the 5/10 tables at Fulltiltpoker.com

Supposedly where the best pros play etc, I'm figuring it's less rigged.

And indeed it is, the high stakes is more what I'm comfortable with.

Played 5 sessions - first session ended around $1200. 2nd session $1700. Then 4th session I finished $2900.

Sadly 5th session this AM, I took a heavy hit on my JJJ being beaten by a straight....$1000.

So at the end I ended $1740. Still $540 up on my start...
