easy game innit....

Though I am still new to this game I feel I am improving pretty fast and the general level of competition is still far below that of nl.  Last night I sat with a reg on ftp and he seemed to have a default game which he didn't change throughout the match.  This strategy basically involved him just playing good starting plo hands and putting more money into the pot when he flopped/turned/rivered well and folding if he didn't.  No doubt this strategy works okay against complete donks but not versus someone that has a brain.  I could barrel in spots where he would not expect me too without the nuts and also click it back in 3-bet pots knowing he would always play his hand face-up.

Anyway, during this session (and throughout the month) I have run really hot in all-ins, either getting there with my combo draw vs sets or holding in the opposite scenario.  E.g....

	Unfortunately towards the end of the session I ran into a couple of coolers.  Saying that, based on how the villain had been playing I think the river is a pretty easy fold in this hand...

I quit after this hand as didn't fancy playing this deep and the villain had de-tilted having won some money back so it seemed like good timing.  I am avoiding the inevitable plo downswing by withdrawing from FTP whenever I am able to, which depends on when Full Tilt randomly lets me.

Vegas in a week, boom!

p.s. I am not running at all like this in other forms of poker.
