Lots of Poker!

Yay, the keyboard and mouse arrived today. I know they should be nothing to shout about, but I'm happy with them all the same. More importantly it's freed things up, so I can put the monitors together and make the setup all a bit more groovy. Not the best of pictures but hopefully gives you an idea:

So what's been happening on the poker front recently? Well, to start with I've been experimenting with a lot of multitabling - usually 6 tables at once. There's been a lot of yo-yo'ing going on, but I'm convinced that's more to do with running a bit bad than anything else. I feel I'm actually playing quite well, and on the verge of a decent upswing :) At the same time I'm getting more used to more tables - it's definitely the way forward. Hopefully now the setup is sorted I can move things on.

The Session is now hotting up with just 2 weeks left. I had another decent result this week, managing to scrape into 4th after grabbing 2nd spot the week before. That's now pushed me up to 4th in the overall leaderboard, but the way the scoring works it get's tougher each week to make any headway. There's still an outside chance of scooping the top spot, but I think I'll at least have to win one of the next 2 weeks to manage it. At the same time there's still a big challenge from the chasing pack, and quite a few that can steal ahead so I'll have to ensure I'll bring the A-game.

Other than that I played in a few MTTs recently too. Most notably was the Monday night 888 Challenge, where we were down to the last 24 and had Dan and PK still in and representing PFU admirably. I had my A-game on the go, happened to pick up AK where I raised it up and got called by the BB. Flop comes A-high, BB checks, I raise, he shoves, I call. As hoped he turns over AQ. Not sure I need to tell you the rest but he hits his 3-outer on the river and I'm down to peanuts and out the next hand. It was the difference between having a 71k stack and sitting pretty in 4th spot, or having 0k and being out. Poker sucks sometimes! As I said before though, feeling good about my game still, hopefully I'll get more chances to bink something soon.

WSOP has just kicked off in Vegas, so hopefully everyone will be buzzing about poker over the next month or so. Not forgetting the World Cup kicks off next week too! The sun is out too and I'm sure we've got a heat wave on the way - I have a feeling it's going to be a great summer!
