A Change Is As Good As A Rest
Had an unusual but very enjoyable night of poker tonight. A post over at 5th Street prompted me to go over to Third Bullet and whilst I was there I glanced at the tourney list and saw a $5 no fee tourney starting in about 5 mins. As I had some time to kill I thought I`d give it a shot. What I didn`t realise was that it was limit, in fact I didn`t even notice until several hands in. Still no big deal I`ve quite enjoyed playing limit tourneys in the past. The payout structure was pretty good too, 21 entries top 5 places paid. No long drawn out descriptions I took down 4th place for $15.75.
I then end up thinking that the K9 buy-in at Pitbull is on so I decide not to bother with the OPT freeroll. With twenty minutes to kick-off and only two of us registered I realise the tourney is scheduled for the next night - DOH! Not to worry though, I listen to the Rounders show and sign up for their Full Tilt freeroll. My result there isn`t worth recording but hey I had no better options at the time. I end up chatting with a bunch of my K9 mates on Skype until the early hours who eventually drift off until only myself and coco are left. The other day I withdrew most of my cash from Dream Poker leaving enough for a multi-table SnG so I decided to give that a shot. I sign up for a 30 seater and finish 13th, uninspiring to say the least.
I`m still chatting with coco who is over at Third Bullet playing a ring game so I decided to watch him for a while. Whilst I`m there I spot a $6+1 $50 added PL Omaha hi/lo tourney about to start. Now it isn`t really my game but I decided what the hell and registered. I figured even if I didn`t cash I`d still be slightly up for the night. Thirteen players regged, top four places paid, I clawed my way to 4th then hit a few hands and ended up finishing 3rd for a nice payout of $25.60.
I have to say I really enjoyed playing something other than NLHE, it made a refresing change as they say on a certain cider advert. It was also nice to play two tournaments where no-one was smack talking and most of the poker played was pretty solid.

Sounds like it was a pretty profitable and enoyable evening all round hun. Its nice to play different games from time too time and if only I could get used to different sites I would be playing the same tabs and tournys as you more often. You are doing great hun, keep it up.
