Good start back




That's my graph for the last 7 days. I am pretty pleased with how things are working out in general. I started off slowly, On Wednesday which is middle bit of the graph I played really badly. I was really unhappy with myself after that but I reviewed through the hands and made some conscious decisions of what I need to do to improve and played much better for the rest of the week which the graph shows. I think I was still a bit rusty thought when starting off. Now I have to say I am running pretty good. I can think of 2 or 3 times when I got an underpair in and hit the 2 outer etc but still aside from that I think I am reading situations well and making a lot of good decisions. Today didn't go that great but I just reviewed through the hands and pretty much all bar 1 hand was coolers or standard flips etc so I am not too worried by it.

I am playing on Devilfish Poker and it's been going pretty well. Software looks a bit like some of the final year projects people out of my course could do but it does have seem pretty nice features such as box you tick you keep you topped up at all times which is sweet. The standard is pretty poor. You get the usual donk who just donates to you but the site is absolutely full of tagfish. People playing 23/13/2 etc. I really don't mind playing at a table full of them cause I can just dominate it and run them over, they are really easy to read and I pretty much always know where I am at in a hand. Some of the downsides are player liquidity due to B2B being 16th biggest network overall. When I was going for the bonus I thought I would be playing on Boss a lot but turns out that is cardroom2 and to really get the big rb deal you need to be playing on B2B. The other major problem is only Pt2 supports it and even worse PAHUD doesn't work on it so I have had to revert back to Gametime which is rather painful as it is not a patch on PAHUD or HM hud but I should get around 54-55% rb when you include the signup bonus and combined with poor quality of player then it works out pretty good. I'd certainly happily take 4 weeks of winnings like the ones I have above that's for sure.

In other news I watched the finale of lost last night, not going to spoiler it or anything but I really enjoyed it as per usual. It's so annoying that it is off the air for 8 months now. It is by far the best show on tv by a country mile at the moment imo. Euro 2008 starts next week. But in general not much on tv which may not be a bad thing. It means I can grind it out. I am hoping to get 30k hands done for the 30 days. That should ensure I get everything I need for the various bonuses. As for the rest of summer from a non poker capacity. I have nothing planned as of yet. I always assumed I would go somewhere abroad as there was lot of plans for things but nothing has come to fruition as of yet. I think it should go abroad at least once. I mean what is the point of winning lots of money if I don't spend on it anything afterall.

Of all the networks out there I have never played on B2B. Are the players really as bad as I have heard? The worst I've come across is iPoker and it's boat loads of French fish!

Yeah players are pretty bad. At 1/2 where I am playing, it's so much that the average players are huge idiots. It's just full of weak tight nits who you can push around. Nowhere near the level of 3 betting etc and trust me there are also lots of uber donks playing 80/40
