Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

Heh :)

I've basically spent the last 25 hours in bed watching The Office reruns as well as cardrunners/leggopoker vids. I played a couple of hours of HU poker and am finding it really fun again.

Few interesting hands:

FR can be uber uber uber soft. On the whole, it's softer than 6max - there's just fewer games.

RB,

Yeah BK basically said it. FR is just softer than 6max in general.

Mac,

@Y%&)98yFDUhyOF8g03yqf8h7yf38g7

So I went to the Belgian Beer Cafe in the city a couple of nights ago with a few friends. I was really looking forward to trying out a bunch of different beers and was absolutely not disappointed. A couple of them absolutely blew me away, I might write a small TR on them in the Snobby Beer thread in AG.

I did happen to get extremely unexpectedly drunk. Belgian beer in general is much stronger than regular beer but I didn't realise just how much stronger it was. After about 6 or 7 I was totally gone. I barely even remember how I got home. That being said it was an awesome night and I'll definitely be heading back there soon.

Pokerwise I'm still giving FR a go. It's just really, really soft and such easy money that I don't see going back to 6max in the foreseeable future. When I'm bored and want to play real poker I'll just play HU.

I'm also playing a few tournaments every now and then trying to get my game sharp in preparation for a $3m GTD tourney at Pacific. You can read some more details about it here: but basically it's looking to be one of the biggest online tournaments ever and is very likely to have an overlay. The competition should also be pretty soft and the structure is excellent so like, I'm a lock to take it down.

I'd definitely recommend anyone who can to try and qualify for it, or even just buy-in direct come April 26th.

What a joke of a month February was.

Money-wise I'm basically where I was at the start of the month. I'm not too unhappy about this as halfway through the month I was down about 15k. I feel like my game improved a tonne as well, specifically my HU and PLO games.

I made the decision a while back to move off FTP/Stars in search of softer games but have so far been unable to get Neteller/Moneybookers working, but that should change in ~6 hours when I can withdraw from stars and deposit into Pacific.

I'm planning on depositing ~30k online and spreading it over Pacific, the cryptos, maybe AP and leaving a bit on stars/ftp so that I can pretty much always have a soft 5/10+ game to play in.

I'm pretty far off my yearly goal so March is going to be spent making as much money as I possibly can. I'm going to try to play pretty much every day, and my goal for the month is $30k.

I may be coming to Vegas for a week at the end of March/start of April but that's not confirmed yet. Is anyone else going to be there around then?
