with winning in mind - poker 2010

If i can run that fucking awful and still breakeven then things must be doing ok.

I'm writing an article after a discussion with JKDS, it would be finished, but i keep on unlocking new poker dimensions that i may have half considered in the past but and suddenly really gaining insights into.

my favourite hands vs the whale, note that one of them wasn't even a badbeat, so doesn't even contribute to the aiev disaster...

These hands are so Sick, lol at +1000big blinds

FTP have gone and changed the rules for me to withdraw, i can't go straight to my credit card now, nor use bank wire transfers. For the moment i'm using neteller to move money to another site and getting it out from there, but it's not ideal...

Anyway, i've played 6k hands over the last couple of days. Games are good. I can't win a flip to save myself, hell, i'd be happy to win an 80-20. Behind about 5BB/100 on the old all-in luck, being ahead over this sort of stretch makes me feel really good about the games, and about my game.

for lols, yes, i scrubbed a couple of stats. regs know.

it may only apply to new credit cards? the card i originally had linked to FTP hit its expiry date and i can't use the new one to deposit. I was able to withdraw to the old one up until it expired - so you may be ok.

not running much better


sometimes playing the best poker of my life, sometimes not.

up $2k and change so far in july.
