New Full Tilt Poker update today. This site does such a good job of giving players exactly what players want, and force every other site to play catch up. Good for poker. If only they could get their support up to par (a very low standard), it would be difficult for anyone to ever say a negative thing about them.

Among the updates, including a new bet slider bar option (something I haven’t really figured out how to utilize best so far) and new avatars! While gimmicky, I love these things. I decided to be the goofy looking cop, I doubt we’ll him around much otherwise.

There was also a thread on 2+2 where FTPDoug (a Full Tilt employee) mentioned they are working on an easier way to add notes for players who just left a table, probably adding it to an improved hand history window. I am quite excited about this, seems like a great feature.

Oh, another real big plus about the FTP update is I think they forgot to add the patch for my doomswitch! I ran pretty well today, both hitting draws and fading draws. Weeeeeeeeeeee. Only $600 more skalasky bucks to get even in EV for the month and $10,000 life time (not joking). Here’s what August looks like so far:

On a different note, I’m listening to the new Conor Olberst CD right now that came out yesterday, I am a big Bright Eyes fan and am digging this. Nothing makes me happier then adding new music to my iTunes, because I am basically listening to music 80% of my awake hours. If anyone wants to ever recommend any stuff in the Raidohead/Modost Mouse/Wilco kinda vien, I’m open ears.
