Back to the Grind (not the fun kind, the school kind ugh)

Welp, school is fully underway, FML. I've had to seriously cut back on my poker time so I don't fail all my classes, so yeah that sucks. I've kind of went through a transition phase, that hasn't really happened in a while, where I take a downswing at the game I'm playing and decide some other game is the best thing around and I'm gonna get rich quick at it. Unfortunately, this time I lost money at my primary game, FR, decided my style was better for 6-max, lost more money there, decided HU is where the fish are, and lost more money there. So ya, the good news is I'm back to what I know and doing well and improving, but it cost me a decent bit to come full circle.

In the end I think HU and 6 max taught me a lot. I initially thought the opposite, but I now believe both are more showdown based games at small stakes, which is basically my biggest leak right now. So contrary to my initial belief FR is probably the best fit for my current style because people have to learn to fold when hand ranges are often stronger, and HU when nobody ever has anything people just call down a lot. So yeah!

I also moved some money to Full Tilt. They had a 400 bonus waiting for me, I decided I'd fail school trying to get to Supernova, and I've got rakeback and all there, so seemed like a little better deal. I've only played there a couple days, but my initial evaluation is that it is a little softer than stars at 50nl FR, I feel like the regs are better on Stars and there's more fish on FT too. The only drawback is that TableNinja blows donkey balls there, its real spazzy, so I'm only playing 10 tables max. Once I get adjusted to the software and all I think it'll be smoother and I'll add a couple more, but for now the volume is gonna go down, but should be made up by bonuses, and the fact that nobody has hands on me, and I've bought a bunch of hands on all of them.

cheers and gl at the tables!
