Doing well, but not blogging too much.

It is time I face facts: I will no longer be blogging several times a week. From now on I will just post when I want to, so I won't have to apologize to you for not posting more often. Ironically, I am getting pretty close to the same amount of visitors (not many) now, as I did when I posted frequently.

There has been an unfortunate development in my poker career. I bought the RTS game Company of Heroes. Since then I have been busy conquoring France, not leaving much time for poker.

The last time I played was pretty crazy though. I have been playing almost exclusively 1000NL lately, and that's what I started out with this Friday night. I lost 6 buy-ins in an hour, which ate up over half my profits for the month which was at about $10k. Needless to say I was not happy at all with this development. Anyway, I dug in and played through it. After mentally having come to terms with my reduced bank roll, I then struck a huge heater and
went back up to a 2 buy-in result for the day. This was after about 4 hours of play. Something got into me, and I decided to take a shot at 2000NL with my newfound wealth. An hour later I was suddenly up 12k for the day, by far my best cash game result for a single session. On top of that $18k upswing in about 4 hours I just can't be bothered to play poker for pathetic $1000-bills anymore :). Once I finish off the Krauts, hopefully that will change.

I, Robot.

I have taken another step in my quest towards multi-tabling pwnage. 10 tables of 600NL. I rule.

I recommend playing 10 tables if you are tired of thinking about anything except poker decisions or just tired of being sane. I think I still played profitable poker, but I guess there has to be an increase of mistakes every time I add a table. Also I got the nice feeling that my brain was being slowly toasted.

The screen captcha that I sometimes get is particularly annoying playing ten tables, because first I have to finish all table actions, THEN turn the 'force active table to front' option in MTH off, THEN type the captcha text, THEN turn the option back on, and THEN take care of all the actions waiting in queue without timing out the last ones. This may sound like a walk in the park, but the MTH option makes the mouse unresponsive when clicking other windows than the active table, so it is quite a pain to navigate the menus. It is possible, but not very relaxing. I think my increased difficulty in passing the captcha test is a sure sign that I am slowly developing towards becoming a robot.

I've also played some 1000NL lately, since my results were so good last month. Results have NOT been good my last couple of sessions though, so I think I may need a small break from the grinding. The 10 tabling experiment was partly caused by being bored with the same old grinding I must admit, so I think I should spend some time doing something else for a couple of days now. This may or may not result in me posting a blog entry with some actual content! Don't say I didn't warn you.
