Did I mention that Party players are really bad?

As you can see I'm playing an extra 3% looser than normal (all added LP limps mainly) - that is because WH is more passive and the players more weak-tight than at, say, Party.
Been very busy so not put many hands in so far - made about $350 in Will Hill bonus and RB on top...so I'm happy enough..

er 27 skins and all player monies in them (probably around $6m) got frozen when Microgaming pulled the licence from a big payment processor called Tusk. We had never heard of them but apparently they were a Microgamin main licensee who sub-licensed the 27 rooms that a lot of us played on. I was on Arctic and had $2100+ there when the shit hit the fan.
After a month of hearing nothing, a liquidator has been appointed and we might get a few cents (or if we are lucky a bit more) in the $1 back once he has had his fees out and payed off higher ranking creditors...
Microgaming seem to have washed their hands of it hoping it won't affect their reputation/rest of their network if their players get hung out to dry for $6m..
So basically none of the Microgaming skins seem to keep your money in trust bank accounts, they have no decent system for making sure their licensees can't just go bust (and they will walk away if they do) so you are a total moron if you continue to play with any significant funds on a Microgaming-powered site (well except for Ladbrokes, but as they charge 5.99% rake in cash games, you would be a moron for other reasons for playing there)

Made about $2300 in March (all at Party) and have now switched to playing the 50//£1 games at Will Hill (I deposited direct with my UK debit card to avoid Neteller $ conversion chargesx2 from now on). Also after the Arctic Poker debacle ($2100 stuck there that it looks like I may well have to write off), I wanted to play somewhere and keep my money somewhere that is absolutely safe (and you can't get safer than Will Hill).
RB/bonuses work out about 40% I think, which is fine...
Bizarrely Will Hill was the first online poker site I ever deposited on (maybe 4 years ago), when I plucked up the courage to put down £20 and started playing $5 Limit SnG's...fortunately I ran good so have never had to use my 'real world' money for poker since...
So we are almost 30k hands into the new shortstacking era (all at $1/2 6 max or equivalent) and I am running at just under 3PTBB/100. I'm not sure whether much better than that is achievable short (I haven't seen long-term win rates posted for a really good shortstacker) although as you can see from my stats I am adopting a rather odd 'counter-punching' strategy that involves a lot of limping. I played for 3 months and maybe 50k hands short last year as I was developing the strategy and managed 2PTBB/100 then. Maybe as I improve I can squeeze it up to 4PTBB/100 or so, but it may be easier just to move up to the $400 tables...
I play 4-6 tables and have been making c. $65/hr.
Anyway let's keep going in April and see how we do...fingers crossed to get at least some of the Arctic money back too...
