The last 30 days' short-handed play, all at the 6 max $200's..

My Prima hands were at about 55% RB/plus a $200 rake race bonus (+$882) and at Party I have picked up about $100 more in bonus. Party sucks rakeback wise but i will move to Will Hill soon enough..

So total winnings $3000 in 44 hours' play ($68/hr)

Now if I can get my $2100 out of Arctic Poker I should be set for my first cash out of the year.

So far this month:




Only a little in bonuses from Party (about $110) but that still works out (even 4 tabling at $77/hr)

Newsflash: Party $200 6 max players are still plenty bad


Notice for example how the Button cleverly maximises his positional advantage in the following hand:

I think button played that well considering the situation and stack sizes. You are unlikely to have much, PFR is just isolating you, CO is tagging along. Shoving AQ there seems pretty good to me.

Edit: Not to mention that if BTN calls the pot will likely be $45 on the flop and he will have $90 behind. That doesn't give him much room to use his position.
