September musings
Written by SwingSwingSwing

I haven't put up many updates to the blog recently, mainly due to laziness and a wee spell of illness.

This month I have been busy clearing bonuses. I had a bonus sitting in Pokerstars from their 10 Billionth Hand promotion and I'd barely put a dent in it in the 3 months it had been sitting there. Low limit five card draw does not earn FPPs at anywhere near the same rate as Holdem.

With this in mind, I returned to my old stomping ground of $1/$2 LHE 6 Max. In the past, the Crypto network was my preferred home but after UIGEA the fishpool there was definitely showing signs of evaporating. At Stars, however, the fishpool is teeming whith donators. Perhaps not as many as a year or so ago, but enough to make playing there worthwhile. For 2007 I'm running at over 3BB/100 which is very nice indeed. Not a large number of hands though but I definitely feel my game is improving. Armed with this false sense of security I've been taking pops at some higher limits, all the way up to $10/$20! Definitely foolish but I'm up overall.

Over the weekend I had a number of successes. First off, I cleared the bonus. Second, I made Silver Star at Stars for the first time. Third, I took down the weekly Britbloggerment. Not bad at all :)
