I played higher limits a long time ago, I was under-rolled for it and after donking off some cash at some of the higher stakes I didn't want to blow my roll and also generally lost interest so I withdrew all of it and went back to working all the time.
I left the tables before the online poker controversy and come back in the midst of it, oh well, I don't have enough invested to hurt if it goes bust-o.
During my layoff I played a 1/2 live PL game a couple times a month and regularly crushed it, but I live in Dallas area and crackdowns on live rooms took place all over the city so I kinda backed off that too. This room wasn't real high profile but I figured I might as well not take my chances I am not a fan of Dallas County's jail.
I deposited $300 on UB and am going to build my roll by starting at $25NL. I might be a little under-rolled but I'm not real worried about it as these games are pretty vanilla and one can keep the variance down and crush the game by nut-peddling. Granted, there are still some marginal situations to come across so I'll post those here. I've only been back at it a couple days and have won a few buy ins. current roll ~$380.
a couple interesting hands from tonight...
A big suckout, but I don't get away from this very often. Villian is nothing special here, I know the re-raise means aces but i think it can be QQ-AK here also. It won't be QQ-AK enough times for this to be a good call, but I still have a hard time laying down kings unless the stacks are a lot deeper than this.
