Thanks,

I've been away from here, but I keep playing occasionally. I'm considering moving up stakes at Absolute Poker. I started with $50 no-deposit bonus and I have now around $74. When I reach $80, I'll try some $2,2 (yes, I am a bankroll nit).

The session today was negative, but almost even. A shove in the bubble with A8s (opponent had AT), 8th place after shoving 2 pairs (opponent made 2 higher pairs on the turn), a miraculous 3rd place and a 2nd place. The good news is that I'm keeping up even when I have severe bad beats (yesterday my KK was busted by a straight with JJ).

Interestingly, I got ITM in tables that I got really short...and was elimined in the bubble when I had an average chip count. This session could be much better, but thats fine, I guess.

I've noticed that I'm playing better heads-up. Today I was really short and almost reached my opponent (even though he had AA two times in a roll). Unfortunately, my nut flush did not hit and I lost for a low pair.

In my last 64 games (my sample at Absolute), I finished 15.6% in 1st and 20.3% in second. Hopefully, these numbers will change. 4 tabling is fun...I hope to improve it soon.
