I have played loads on stars at the moment. It's pretty much been one huge downswing and I can't quite put my finger on why. I have been playing my normal game with a few adjustments, but the games are so loose I am getting massive variance.
I am pretty sure in the end I will come out a big winner at 5/10 Stud, but I just hope it happens soon.
I decided I would not deposit anymore in Stars and just try and build up what I had left, so I started with 3/6 stud and HORSE, then got bored and decided to take a shot at 5/10 in the evening.
At last today went very well. I played well on crypto in the 10/20 game to earn me some rakebackage and some coinage too, but that game does seem very soft.
Stars: Most of the decisions went my way today for once. I could hit flush draws, straight draws and trips to take down a nice haul from there, but these swings are huge. they are literally -100b to +100bb in one session 4 tabling. I don't know if this is the norm with stud and I guess it isn't, but that's how bad these games are.
Anyway, played the million on sunday and got a sick beat with a set of fives versus running gutshot. Also I have been staking my friends in a number of tournaments on crypto to a) try and win monies and b) get high up on this AWF leaderboard. Both players are good tourney players, better than me anyway, but they haven't managed to get a big cash as of yet. I doubt we are going to win the leaderboard now, but a nice place for a few k would do.
I don't think there is anything else left to really say except I have bought Poker Tracker Stud and it's cool, so yeah I am going to bed hoping tomorrow will be like this evenings session.
