Update

I finally deposited over at Full Tilt this past week. I got the standard 27% rakeback deal and a $600 deposit bonus, so I will be working that off in the next week or so.

I really like the site so far. The graphics are nice and it runs pretty smooth. Considering it has no skins, the traffic isn’t all that bad either. It does seem to have more NL games then limit, but that is OK.

I am not a 6-max player. I haven’t played a full ring game in about a week, just too boring now. I was playing 3 or 4 tables and it was just such a grind. I now play 1 6-max table and it holds my interest more then those 3-4 tables do. I am playing at $2/$4 which is a level higher then I would like to play, but Full Tilt doesnt offer any short hand games at $1/$2.

I started off at Full Tilt pretty bad, losing about half of my deposit the first few days. Not shocking really, I suck at 6-max. Turned it around the past few days and I am heading in the right direction again. I really think I am starting to get a good grasp on it now and hopefully I can string together some winning sessions to show that. About 30% of my downturn was due to bad cards and about 70% was due to me sucking. Oh yeah, “me sucking” is now an official poker phrase I have coined.

I really want to start getting into tournaments as well and I played about 10 SNG’s this weekend. Finished 1st in 2, 2nd in 2 more and nothing in the rest, so not all that bad. I also played in a free MTT over at checknraise, about 72 entered and I finished 13th, 3 spots out of the money. I was pleased with my play though for the most part.

I finally got off my butt and bought the full version of PAHUD. Great program and worth every penny. Matter of fact, I would pay the $25 just for the ability to see peoples mucked cards. Not because it helps me get a better read on them – it does do that – but just so I could get a good laugh at what some of these donkeys are going to the river with. Just amazing what some people call down with. I almost fall out of my chair laughing sometimes.

So tomorrow I will continue on with the 6-max adventure and start to hammer out that Full Tilt bonus. I think I will add a second table tomorrow if I feel comfortable. Hopefully I will play in 2 or 3 SNG’s a day from now on as well. I also might dedicate one whole day to them once a week and see what I can do. Wish me luck.
