Changes, HORSE and Other Oddments
No results for the last couple of days largely because of schedule changes at Poker.com. They removed the 7 stud and HORSE tourneys I`ve been playing. Fortunately they`ve added more HORSE and a Razz tourney. Played the razz today and bubbled from a field of eight. Made a stupid steal attempt and crippled myself. I put that down to playing HORSE at the same time. Fortunately I managed to sneak 3rd in the HORSE
I`ve just finished my second HORSE tourney for the day and guess what?
Yup 3rd again. I`m pleased to keep cashing but I really need to turn some of these places into wins.
As I mentioned I haven`t played too many tourneys but I have had a few ring game sessions at Ultimate Bet. I had to deposit there for the OFC so I`ve played two sessions of HORSE and one of 7 stud hi/lo. The first HORSE session went well, the second I lost and went back to even apart from a couple of bonus dollars I earnt. The stud hi/lo went better, I chased the first hand all the way to 7th, played pretty loose and then got lucky on a hand. My opponent was none too happy at his loss so I told the table I was new to the game. The action I got after that was pretty good and I finished the session nicely ahead.
It`s only 5c/10c but I`m clearing bonuses, making a few bucks and getting a lot of hands in at games I`m less skilled at. Actually from the stud hi/lo being one of my least liked games it`s becoming a firm favourite. There`s a lot of subtlety in it if you make the correct choices for starting hands. The great thing is that most players don`t seem to have much of a grasp on it.
