...it keeps getting in the way of me posting.
As a few of the BritBloggers will know, MrsSwingSwingSwing and I had applied to immigrate to Canada. Now this was a couple of years ago. Well, they've only gone and accepted us! They asked for our passports at the end of June and last week, we got them back with visas attached! But what's really set the cat amongst the pidgeons is that the visas expire in August. Yip, August.
After the initial panic, we've realised that we haven't got time to get everything sorted before the expiry date. So it'll be a two stage plan. Stage 1 - go over to Canada, go through the landing procedure which activates our permanent residents status, stay for a week or so, apply for various bits and bobs and then come back. Stage 2 - get the house sold, pack up and go.
Needless-to-say, we've got a million and one things to do so the poker has taken a bit of a back seat. It hasn't been totally shelved though. I've stopped playing on Stars for now, just to make sure I preserve my bankroll. But I have been playing on Full Tilt with my massive $80 'roll. I was just going to play for fun and see how much I could grow the 'roll playing heads up sit'n'gos. I'm not too proud to say that I'm running at -10% ROI so far, playing the $2s. And that's an improvement as I was running at -24% for a while! I am a fish of the highest quality. People have been looking up my stats and calling me a loser. Now I don't know what's sadder - that I'm a fish at the $2s or that people actually bother to use Sharkscope at that level. One guy in particular made me laugh. He had looked up my stats, saw that he was in for an easy time and played me for a bit. Of course, I won the majority of the games which put him on massive tilt, particularily as I did have a couple of suckouts! During that tilt, he was berating me big time for my poor stats and likewise I was berating him for even bothering to look up opponents at that level.
If you need to use Sharkscope to get a handle on opponents at the $2 level you are destined to spend an eternity at that level.
