I guess I should update this thing.

This week I decided to play pretty much exclusively 5/10 as long as the games were decent. I think my hourly is much higher there as long as I can handle the swongs. And swongs, they happen at 5/10.



I did play a few hands at 3/6 too and won a bit there, but that is not on the graph. The graph actually isn't totally accurate in the swings because the times on the hand histories between sites are not the same so not all the hands are in correct chronological order in the graph. For example, today I started out down $2k in short order and ended up $4k. So the last $2k downswing starting at hand 6600 was actually the start of my day and then the upswing right before that came later if that makes sense. $6k swongs are pretty insane for me. >10% of my roll daily swongs are probably not good for my mental health.

I actually won a few flips this week for a change, but ran kinda meh overall. For example I lost a stack with AK on a KKx board, with KK vs AQ in a 4-bet pot on a Q-high board, etc. I did hit more sets than usual but I still got my overpairs cracked more than my share as per usual.

For your viewing pleasure...my chat with Pacific support as I try to figure out the tourney structure:

Satra A.: I can confirm that there was no published structure for the WPC, it is the same as any regular tournament
SetofBs: but according to your site level 2 is 15/30
SetofBs: I am playing level 2 right now and its 20/40
Satra A.: Bruce, you are referring to the stakes of the table
SetofBs: yes, the blind structure
Satra A.: one moment please
SetofBs: ty
Satra A.: are you playing in the WPC 3M guaranteed
SetofBs: yes
Satra A.: if you are, the blind structure will be different as you are playing to win 3 million dollars and other prizes
Satra A.: everything was posted on the website
Satra A.: to review you can click on this link: http://www.888.com/wpc/en/
Satra A.: you are no longer in level 2 as you are in the final
SetofBs: right...I'm talking about blind level 2
SetofBs: we just got off the 1st break and now we are at blind level 3 which is 30/60
SetofBs: but I still don't see the structure listed on that link you gave
SetofBs: I just want to know what the blinds are going to be going to over the rest of the tourney.
Satra A.: well Bruce
Satra A.: every half an hour the blinds are going to increase
SetofBs: I understnad that
SetofBs: but I want to know what each increase will be
SetofBs: if you don't know, that's fine, just tell me that
Satra A.: as far as I know Bruce it wil continue increasing until the we have the fnial 8 players
SetofBs: alrighty then
SetofBs: so the blinds will keep increasing every 30 minutes?
Satra A.: yes that is correct
SetofBs: ok, ty

Oy.

O I thought they would keep the blinds fixed until they hade w winner?

I really like how she was using your name all the time, Bruce. Must have made you feel a lot better.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
