Well, tonight I thought I’d give some other (cash) games a whirl to clear my head. So I finally hit a royal flush tonight in the ultimate low level donk-fest called “Royal Hold’em” over at UltimateBet – why Royal? Because all deuces to nines have been removed, so the chances are way higher to catch one, and boy did I catch one…for a massive pot of 38cents…lol…still waiting on one in the real game though in what seems like a gazillion hands…

In all other cash games I pretty much sucked. Whenever I caught piece of the board someone else caught the better part (TPTK vs small set, etc etc)…so not too much joy, but still refreshing – the joy of sitting down and standing up whenever I please…

So, there’s a new member of team PokerStars – is it just me or are there more and more members as we’re approaching the WSOP main event? Who is it? None other than, one of my favourite players, Barry Greenstein – the “robin hood of poker”. Cool.
In other PokerStars news: they updated their software which now features the two most noteworthy features: themes and resizable tables (see pics below, click for real size)…

Slightly over an hour ago I logged into Full Tilt to check on the sunday tourneys just to find myself in the middle of the Event #3 Freeroll…the top 500 pickers in that tourney are entered automatically!!! Prize Pool: $1000

So best check your picks and/or the Registered in Tournaments part of Full Tilt, so that you don’t miss it, like many did in the one I was in…

On another note: I just had another look at the prizes page and nice…gooo me…I finished 4th in Event #3, so I win a FullTilt hat, yay me 🙂 !

Thanks again Bill for writing about it, I guess I would have missed it otherwise!

Edit: After over 3hours I made it into the top 20…in 14th place to be precise after two consecutive nine outers (flush draws) didn’t come through…so I’m heading for the WSOP 2007 freeroll in August, nice.

…I really need a SnG-break or maybe I should even consider giving them up for good. It’s just too much hassle and annoyance to play against such friggin donkeys and yet they win and win and win. It’s unbelievable. What can you say when your KK lost again in a 45player SnG, level1, against a player calling a re-reraised pot preflop and and All-In on a QQx board with A4o and wins the friggin hand [one other player said he folded his AK post-flop, so the lovely turn ace was once again a friggin two outer]? I’m feeling free to quote Waffles here, as he already said it best in his recent post: “Have fun you 2 out chasing motherfuckers.”

…and I’m out (of another buyin at Stars and some prior winnings at FullTilt and) of here…
