Hit a nice little upswing! I am still playing atm but last time I bought into the game I was sitting at just shy of 84 bucks. I am extremely happy with that. Up almost 40BBs since starting the log.
Some highlights were scooping a huge pot that ended up 3 way on 6th with me having lock on the low, 7th street I make a random pair of tens to go with my low, I bet, one player folds (missed a draw I guess) and somehow the other person had a worse low with no high so I scooped!
It seems more and more that at these lower limit full ring games, you tread water until you randomly scoop some huge hand. There is very little stealing or outplaying folks. Just a waiting game until you hit some huge hands. I am sure this will stop to a degree once I play more short handed and for higher stakes.
As far as working on my game, I am trying to learn how to navigate playing two pair hands. I feel that is my biggest leak currently. I realized that you can't just "oh, got tooo pears!" like in holdem, but you have to pay a lot of attention to your high pair vs theirs.
I also have been neglecting ProPokerTools, and need to start piddling with that more.
That is about it. Just going to grind in the next few weeks. bovada is having tournament series and there are 3 or 4 stud 8 tournaments. I hope they have some satellites to try but not for sure yet. Even at how poor I am at this game, I am sure I would be at least even money vs the field.
update: dropped a decent amount in a game while writing this
Back in the high 70s but still, very happy about the results overall.
