I`m Back
Not that I`ve actually been away. I was offline for a while whilst moving house. At present I`m "borrowing" someones wireless connection. I`ve no idea whosee it is but if they`re going to leave the network unsecured . . . I will be getting my own connection again soon, this one keeps cutting off which makes it a risky proposition to play any tourneys, although it is generally ok at night.
I took a bit of a break from playing tourneys because I was either playing bad or just hitting a run of poor cards. Probably a bit of both in truth. I made a pretty good return on Friday night in the $5 HORSE at Poker.com. I was horribly shortstacked by the second round of HE but hit a few hands and then clawed my way to the final table where I ended up finishing 2nd. I took a pretty bad beat HU or I would have stood a decent chance of taking it down IMHO. A two outer killed me off on the river but that`s poker.
As my connection hasn`t been too great I`ve been playing a few ring games, mainly FL and PL Omaha8b at Ultimate Bet. Only micro limit stuff but I`m just learning how to play rings, or trying to at least. I probably play too many hands which is why I`ve been pretty much breaking even. I may risk moving up stakes a little because that should tighten up my game. I`d love to become a decent ring game player. It`s certainly where the money is. I just hate NLHE rings though, and that`s unfortunate because it`s where the majority of players are at the moment.
I`m waiting for an article I sent in to the Carbon blog to be published. It`s called Alternative Poker and it basically promotes the idea of playing games other than NLHE. I think it`s going to be published, I`m presuming that`s where the coupon that appeared in my account came from. I`ve also got a piece I`m considering putting on Helium, a writers site that I`ve yet to contribute to. It`s a piece about turning pro, giving the pros and cons, mainly cons in fairness.
Anyway that`s about all for now see you soon.

No Limit ring is hard to get comfortable with. I stll struggle live when these guys bet 10 and more preflop at the 1-2 table. Takes time to put a barometer on what raises mean from different players. Let me know when that article comes out on Carbon.
