I started typing this outside in our front yard, sitting on a bench watching the kids play. I took the leaf blower out this afternoon and made a huge pile (which is easy on our 1 acre fully wooded lot) about a meter tall and 3 meters in diameter. So my kids were diving in, burying each other and having leaf fights. I was stting on our garden bench, enjoying being outside in GA (barefoot!!) in mid-November, wearing shorts and a tee, with a view of the mountains now that some of the leaves are off the trees, and generally enjoying an amazing autumn day.
The only thing that could have made it better is playing poker. I had to come in and start dinner, so it wasn't the best time to fire up a HU tourney. (Sorry, kids, that you're hungry. Daddy needs to concentrate on this match. Just go play and I'll make something when I'm done.)
HU pokerz are going well. I didn't really think of it as building the bankroll, just a way to learn some more about the game. But it's doing both.
Stars is SERIOUSLY weaker competition for the same stakes of HU matches. Daven transferred $75 over there for me from FTP. I was running like 30% ROI in HU at Tilt. I'm more like 90% at Stars. That will probably deteriorate a bit over time, but there's a significantly fishier pool of HU players at Stars.
I've played $11 HU at Tilt, but I'm not rolled for that yet on Stars. Actually, I don't really know any HU BR guidelines except that $90 on Stars probably wasn't enough for $6 HU SnG's. I didn't worry about it since it wasn't my whole roll, but I'm going to wait until I have 25 - 30 BI's for the $11 game before I start moving up at Stars. Can't wait to play their $11 games. Hope they're more of the same.
To those of you who grind cash on Stars - wow. Full Tilt's software is so much faster and more responsive. I only play one match at a time on Tilt, but the games move so much slower on Stars that I'm playing two at a time. It gets a bit hectic when I'm at the end of two matches simultaneously against opp's with different playing styles.
I'm up nearly double my original stake of $90 after 17 4-man HU SnG's (winner takes all $24, if you're not familiar with the payoffs). Another hundred or so and I'll tell you what I think of the $11 games.
