End of Feb update

February ended up being a really good month for me where I mananged to post really solid results despite not playing many hands, mostly thanks to running good in the 5/10 games.  The games have been good for the most part, though it's easy to play in fishy games when you get a load of nutted hands.  This month went exactly how I would love every month to go for as long as I play poker for a living.  Lots of small winning days and few losing days so no major swings and thus much less stress.  Unfortunately poker isn't always like this and I fully expect to be cursing the game anytime soon.

I haven't been able to play for the last week or so because I had some sort of stomach bug/food poisoning type thing which completely knocked the stuffing out of me and left me feeling rather sheeeit.  It's amazing how you can go to bed one night feeling fine then wake up the next feeling so grim.  To make it worse I found water leaking from my bathroom ceiling the same morning because of a recurring problem with plumbing from an upstairs flat so had to sort that out despite feeling like I was going to faint any moment.  Fun!  My loyal readers will be pleased to know I am feeling better now.  To illustrate this I will use Doom.

I did feel like this:

Now more like this:

Thanks to some of these:

Hope to get to this eventually:

I miss those old school games.  I also watched the latest episode of HSP yesterday and predict this will be the last season of the show as they've dismantled the really funny AJ Benza and Gabe Kaplan duo and the lineup this year is rubbish compared to previous years.  This season does seem to have some really soft spots which I'm sure is great for the pros at the table but not for the viewer.  If I wanna see random people with too much money play hands terribly I can just go to my local casino.
