variety

so been keeping busy playing my usual schedule of mtt's. nothing to report other than i keep getting inside the final 10% of these large stars tournies only to bust out well ahead of the final table. this means a lot of week nights when i play im up till 1am when i have to get up and work the next morning. it's well worth it when you pocket a couple months of salary but cashing for $50 puts a little extra sting in the ear when the alarm goes off.

i did make some attempts at mass tabling some super turbo sngs on ftp and did alright. i think the best i got up to was 8 at a time although i had tried it out first playing a 16 tables of 1c/2c frnl. the ahk scripts def help but i felt like a total robot. i think 9 tabling tiled is prob the best way although stacking tables def has it's benefits.

last week when i was 1 tabling a deep finish i popped open a limit 08 game and played a bit. of all the games it just unbelievable how juicy those games still are. like even razz is played fairly well now and people know when to steal and when to donk out when their opponent bricks. o8 though, any 4 will do, any 2 pair is getting shown down for hi when a low is out and any 2 cards that have made a low is paying off.

it's funny, i really like the game when it's shorthanded and i can play a lot looser. i took a crack at playing it earlier in the year but was playing like 2 tables of full ring and just got bored stiff. it was recently that i watched some danzasmack o8 vids on deucescracked that i started to see spots where i can open it up, especially since a lot of the o8 games seem to break down to 3 or 4 handed at times and players just don't have a clue how to adjust.

i've ground out a couple hundo winner over only like 1k hands of mostly 2/4 with some 1/2 and 3/6 but it's been fun and a change of pace and it also generates some good rakeback which i've noticed is something that mtt's just don't provide. the real test will be what happens when i start losing.

stay tuned...
