Fishing Season Is Open Again

No I`m not talking the rod and line type. I mean I`ve started playing the beginners SNGs at Bodog again. I withdrew most of my cash from there and was left with $6 so I decided to try and build it up again playing in the fish ponds. I was playing these games a while back but the competition had increased a little and I was becoming bored with SNGs too so I stopped.

I`m pleased to report that pond life has returned to normal and although these games aren`t the most profitable because they pay 5 places, they are a very easy way for any half competent player to build a roll. I did have another motive in playing them and that was to get used to multi-tabling. I`ve found I can comfortably play 3 games and I think 4 wouldn`t make much difference. Any number beyond that might be challenging because I won`t be able to see all my tables.

Anyway I`ve played 9 or 10 now and only failed to cash once. I also had a 5th place which cost me 20 cents but that was unlucky as my JJ was beaten by 66. All my other results have been top 3 places and my roll is steadily building. My tactics for these is pretty simple. I only raise premium hands and I limp in with pocket pairs until we`re down to 5 or 6 players and then I shift gears and go for the win. It`s proving very successful so far.

I`m off to Newcastle in a few hours to play some live poker with the guys from Wass and my mates from Poker.com so I`ll have to wait until Sunday to go fishing again. Hopefully I`ll have good news from the live event to report on when I get back.
