Gasp! I’ve played poker the past two days

I know… right? Me? Playing poker? WTF? Did I finally get my act together or what the heck is going on?


I dunno, lately I’ve just been a little motivated to get some hours in and make some money. Although I’m not 12 tabling like I was and I’m barely even 9 tabling. My play is still split between 100-200 NL although I’m diversified across many sites in an attempt to find the best games.


Where I’m playing at these days:


Player’s Only: I’ve had my worst luck/play here the past couple days. I’m just not ‘in the zone’ when I’m playing here without the stats just yet. I’m doing my best in table selection and I am able to get some reads but it is pretty difficult at times. It is challenging and I’m still playing here for two reasons: 1) deposit bonus and 2) the average player there is still not as good as everywhere else. I’m down about a buy in at 200 NL but up 1 at 100 NL so technically breakeven, but down some because of the buy in difference.


Doyle’s Room: I liked what I saw here, even though they had VERY little action here at the full ring games. The play was pretty bad, I’m down about 1/2 a buy in here.


Absolute: This has been what is keeping me treading water the past couple days. I’m up 2 buy ins at 100 and 1/2 a buy in at 200 NL, even though they only have 1-2 full ring tables going at a time. I don’t have rakeback/bonus to clear here but the tables are good enough I don’t need them.


Full Tilt: I’ve done a little datamining here for 200 NL but I have a hard time justifying sitting down when I have no rakeback here. Especially when Stars is just a click away.


Stars: I’ve been playing some 100 NL here but not any 200 NL, although I didn’t look over my play last month. I use Stars to fill up any table slots I have open, although other than Player’s Only its my best site where the FPP gives me good rakeback.


So, that’s that. I’ve been doing OK at Stars, although I’m having a hard time finding tables with decent donks on them. I’m going to post a spewy hand here and see if I can work the math out and see how spewy it really was.
