March update

Well after my bitching and moaning about February, March has actually gotten off to a good start as can be seen below.


These results are entirely from Rush PLO8 on Full Tilt Poker. Unfortunately, the only offering for PLO8 in the Rush format is .25/.50 ($50 buy in). But being able to play 4 tables of Rush is probably the equivalent of playing 12-15 tables of normal ring games on Stars or Tilt and is much easier to manage since it can all be viewed on the screen rather than tables stacked on top of each other. I am also up about another $100 playing approximately 3k hands on Stars this month.

SNGs have also been pretty good so far this month. I am playing very low buy-ins since I am playing mostly 18 and 45 man turbo SNGs and don't really know what to expect in terms of variance. Get a few more under my belt and I will move up in stakes.



So with all of this going rather well that obviously means that MTTs have been a train wreck and that is accurate as I have 1 min-cash in the dozen or so tournaments I have played this month. Sunday was especially tough as I played a full schedule including the high buy-in "majors". None of the hands in those were especially interesting (losing coin-flips, etc.) but I did have a pretty good one in Full Tilt PLO on Sunday. This is just so ludicrous but would have given me a shitpot full of chips if I could have somehow held.

Not sure I have ever gotten it in 4 ways with 35% equity AND an added 1k+ in dead money from the callers and BB. That is usually a pretty good situation.
