I spent another week far from home and I did not play. However, I got a 50$ no-deposit bonus at Absolute Poker. I will use this cash to improve my game in two aspects:
1) Multi-tabling: Its hard to multi-table at CD Poker (I currently play there) because the blinds increase in 7 minutes. So, you must act and sometimes the decision is not that easy. At Absolute, this is easier because the blinds increase in 10 minutes. Besides that, the tables are 9-max and the blinds start at 5-10 (very low first level). I think multitablng here is a good training ground. I intend to multi-table at CD Poker after getting used to it.
2) Try micro MTTs: I always wanted to try these, but, since the variance can be huge, I chose single tables. I intend to practice these games and see if I can get a decent ROI after some games. Whenever my balance is positive again at CD Poker...i might try those.
3) Play more cash when I'm not in the mood to play SGs: you must have to be fully focused to play SGs...and this can be very stressing. I'm not saying you should be less focused when playing cash games, but at 2NL...you should just play ABC poker. Nice way to get some cash.

The idea behing this plan is to improve my game at CD Poker and withdraw my profit. Since at Absolute I cannot withdraw it (unless I make 2 deposits and 200 points)...I will consider it as a training ground. At least I'm not losing money there.

Just played my 1st game there...to get used to the interface. The blinds seem reeeally slow for me (I'm used to 7 min), so...the game was pretty boring (I will 2-table in the next time). I got busted holding QQ x A9 in 5th place.

The level of playing there is a bit stronger than at CD Poker. Players tend to be looser when they're deep and tighter when the blinds increase and the table gets shorthanded (which is great).

This week I'm playing only at Absolute. 2 tables at a time...if I get some profit, I'll try MTT. Hope to get better.
