I are backz!

Haaaaaaaaah! Finally decided to update this instead of doing something worthwhile with my life!

Didn't play much over the summer...played at the casino maybe 4 times and cashed 2 of them. Not anything massive, around £150 overall. The only memorable hand is one on the final table where I had 56s in the BB and someone who'd been a total arsewipe all night raised into me, so I called to hopefully knock him out. This was on the final table and I was reasonably deepstacked and him reasonably short. I can't remember any numbers....because let's face it, I suck at life, not just at poker. Anyway flop comes xxA all hearts. He flat pushes I call - he turns over AA and berates me for the next 20 mins from behind the rope marking off the final table. -_-

Since coming back I've been playing on FullTilt with a piddly bankroll just messing around. I expected to lose it all and didn't much care. I think I've lost about $20 of it, but I had a lot of fun whilst doing it.

Now that my loan's in I've signed up to RedKings to get PT free. Of course RedKings doesn't take my card, so I have to fuck around with about 900 payment options (I broke my keyboard in a tantrum halfway through....) before finally (reluctantly) using Netteller who charged me about $150 to deposit $200. The fun continues as we discover that RedKings has the WORST interface in the known galaxy. I've seen plague victims that look better. You can't change your table position, so you have to search around every time for yourself if you're multitabling. You can't resize the tables (wtf?!) and half the options have to be done through the webpage (Cashier, search player...etc).

It does however have a few redeeming features -

1. Free PT after a certain number of points.
2. A really cool thing (for fish like me) that shows you your % chance of winning when 2 people are all in. Like you get on TV, but only when people are racing.
3. Obscenely easy $5 10 man Double or Nothing SnGs.

The third point is really nice. I've played 15 $5.50 ones today and yesterday and cashed in 12 of them. I got knocked out of the others on hands like AA vs A7 (me on AA) taking a drumming.
The other "players" (if I can call them that....donators would be more accurate) fold every hand until they get an inexplicable urge to push Q7 off and get knocked out by someone in the BB with KK. Once it gets down to about 7 men the entire table tightens up to be playing about Gambon's range. They fold themselves down to about half a BB and then get blinded out alltogether. It's even better if you have a competant big stack who can raise all the time because he'll never ever get called.

I'm interested as to what people think about these - i.e are they profitable in the long run. I worked out that I have to win roughly 3/5 of them to be making slow profit, but that doesn't seem to be too difficult so far.

Been playing cash games as well recently (live) and urinating money to everybody almost at random. Good fun though! :-D
