My current thoughts about poker are about as mixed up as the formats and limits I've been playing - on one day last week, I played a 50 euro tourney, some 6-max 25NL, and some full ring 2NLz - so I'm not gonna write many words. Instead, let's have a picture post graphgasm.
I've been re-reading 'Nineteen Eighty-Four'. This is how I feel about hyperturbo satties:
This is why every week is Hate Week:
I don't always jam AK vs a limp on the final table bubble, but when I do I get re-jammed by TT and called by A8. And I make quad jacks. Wait... what?
I played some FR nanostakes Zoom, because a buddy was struggling with it and I wanted to find out what the fuss was all about. It was a horrible experience. The nitregs just never ****ing bluff the river. #TheyAlwaysHaveIt. I crushed for a bit, but then I got pissed off by an horrific 20 second slowroll after I jammed 3x pot with 2nd nuts into the nuts, so I started spewing.
[ ] Fun game.
Maybe I'm being too hard on Stars, as they are clearly investing a lot of money in making the game better for recreationals. This must be the amazing promo Dnegs was talking about
:
Meanwhile, back on Unibet, my cashgame volume and play this year has been pathetic. I've mostly only been dabbling during tourney breaks, or when I have a spare 15 minutes.
Last week's tourneys had a range of buy-ins from 1 euro (a bunch of SNGs to meet the promo requirement) to 50 euros (a UO satty where I made the ******ed mistake of 5-betting the flop with the 3rd best hand). Results were swingy AF:
I should probably stop trying to bluff the unbluffable.
For the year so far, my ROI is much lower than last year, but I think it's mainly due to running badly in bubble situations in February.
The plan for this week is to play some more SNGs and at least one UK Tour satty every day. If I can bink a couple of the 25s, I'll take a shot at the 100eu finals at the weekend, as I'd like to qualify for Brighton if I can. Since some of my smaller MTT tickets have been used in normal tourneys and got 'converted' to real money, the ticket bankroll is back to exactly where it was a few weeks ago.
UO: 500 euros. UK Tour: 500 euros. Total: You do the math. #PingItUp
