Poker update
I've not played too much on VC of recent really, NLHE tourneys bore me a bit at the moment. Instead I've mostly been playing the micro PLO8 at Stars. It's so soft it's unbelievable, more or less guaranteed winnings. Anyone and their monkey can shove all their money in at HE if they see a big pair, but people will play KTTT at Omaha/8 for raises at this level. That's unplayable at high only. It's a massive aquarium. It takes patience though, even though I am seeing a flop on about 50% of hands. Massively loose, but it's nothing compared to other people at the table. It's so passive that you can afford to limp with fairly junky stuff (KKxx, QQxx, A3xx etc) and hope to hit a good to perfect flop. Mainly because the pot odds are huge. You'll often get paid too - people will draw to and hit less than the nuts and pay you off (one guy berating me for my nut flush beating his queen high flush. What did he expect). They'll also stop around till the river, so it's possible to stay around for just hitting one way and make profit. A2xx is always playable here. It can be waiting for the nuts at times, but that's Omaha to an extent.
NLHE also isn't appealing as for some reason I played a free play tourney on Stars, and came about 80th/4000+. Why, I don't know. Someone dared me to or something.
