Well, I took a long time off from this blog.  I was posting a little bit more over at http://suitedup.blogspot.com but even that is pretty sparce on the updates.

But good news.  Gonna be playing more consistently now.  Took a stake from a friend and will be mainly grinding some 25NL HU games and will probably have to sprinkle in some 6-max or FR because so far the HU games are a little sparce on the site I’m on.

So far I’ve played a little over 900 hands so far and I’m up all of $10.   Everyone has just been playing so nitty so far.  It feels like every person I played the match lasted a good hour or so.  That’s just unheard of for me playing HU.  I hope that changes soon, because I’m getting absolutely destroyed by the rake.

When you’re playing HU at a lower limit, it’s pretty important to be able to bust people as quickly as possible to make up for the occasional rake sucking match.  Except so far, they’ve all been rake sucking matches.

None of the players have been very good so far, but they’re not very bad either, and they’re not overly aggressive, which is more of what I’m used to.  I can probably count on one hand how many times I hit a big hand and got paid off on the river.  It might only have been like twice, and even then, it wasn’t a big payoff.

I plan on updating this more though.  Especially since I can’t use PT w/ the site I’m playing on, so this should help me keep a little better track of what I’ve done as time goes on.
