As promised to myself earlier, I'm temporarily done with MTT's except on Sundays (for the record, yesterday was pretty ugly, but mostly unavoidable - a lot of second best 2 pair/set hands were involved.) What I *have* been doing is playing a bunch of PLO on Cake with a propping deal I set up for myself (increased rakeback). The main downside is that I can't play a lot of tables as I have to start games, and playing > 2/3 tables of HU and shorthanded PLO while still learning the game is probably a bad idea. However, the actual results have been very good. I have a decent sense of when to get it in, and except for a lack of turn aggression (mostly because Cake players don't ever fold 2 pair or raise less than the nuts, so value betting them thin is not really a great idea), I'm much better aware of close plays. About the only thing I want to do is play more tables, probably on FTP (where I do have rakeback), and to understand how the cross-site increase in aggression changes turn and river play.

I'm also playing a bunch of 6max SNG's on Cake, as well. Those are more mixed; I find I don't have the best pushbot sense with 8-13 BB anymore, plus the Cake regs call a "proper" unexploitable strategy too light and decrease both their and my ROI's in the process. I'm still up a decent amount of money doing that, but I think I'm going to have to buy SNG Power Tools or some other utility and quiz myself for a bit before I play too many more of those.

The calendar in the next two weeks: a trip to Fresno to go play in Kyle's tournaments ;), a collaboration to be named later, and, at some point next month, the long awaited 60M interview/Washington Post photo shoot (I think you guys get to see me and dlpnyc21 play online on laptops or something - not too sure what they're doing with that.) By then, UB should just about be done naming the 19 cheaters and their 88 accounts, by which I mean they won't have named anybody but will be busy stonewalling until the end of time. I should really be done hoping they'll come to their senses by now...

Offtopic: My wife and I got a Wii Fit game last week. So far, we've both spent 30 minutes (actually an hour once you factor in the downtime between games) a day on it 6 of the 7 days we've had it, and it pretty much beats a gym membership hands down. I totally recommend this thing and I'm sure it'll help me lose those 10-15 extra poker pounds in a hurry. Since when has exercise actually been fun?
