So the last week I gave myself a challenge to try out grinding some MTTs on Full Tilt, and it went ok. Ok, as in not great, but not bad... just ok. After 6 days and 159 MTTs I'm up a measly $51... but I'll take it! My bankroll has climbed a bit since a week ago which is good, mainly thanks to cashing in a Super Turbo sng $75 after using a token from my Iron Man promotion, and running decently in the $7 Super Turbos too. Its kinda nice to be putting in less volume on them actually, I tend to do better shorter sessions, but this is definitely something that I should improve on.

Today I booked a nice win of $200+ playing 40 MTTs and 20 odd SNGs. Things seem to be coming together. Hopefully I wont have jinxed it by blogging this, I'm probably destined to have a terrible session tomorrow for my bragging words.

Recently I've been a bit all over the place in terms of my game selection. I feel that multi-tabling MTT's can be profitable, but playing 6 hours a day to get 200 Iron Man pts on $6 buy ins is really tiring, and I'm not sure I can keep my concentration up for that long a period of time.

I've been trying to play some Turbo sngs instead. There are some advantages of playing them.

-They're shorter (I can keep my concentration up).

This is referring to my disastrous November, in which for no apparent reason but for the fact that I could do it, I decided to use Parallels on my Mac to play poker. On a Macbook. Big mistake. The justification went like this;

I love using Mac OS X.
I love playing online poker.
I hate having to restart using Boot Camp.
I like change. Its new and exciting.

I spent some time today editing my deck of cards to include numbers at the bottom. My thinking is that these are my "HUD Friendly" cards, which means that they're easier to see now when my hud is blocking half the card at showdown with the top half of players. With this, the new table and pods, and the red ringed highlighting the active player (check the last post), I'm fully "blinged" out for multi-tabling sessions. I'll happily share it for a $5 transfer, just give me an email at cwei1983@gmail.com.

I've always preferred Full Tilt over Pokerstars for many reasons. One of the big ones, was when I first started I found the interface confusing, and the tables cluttered and messy. They still are, but as I got used to playing these things become less important to me.

Full Tilt really has done a lot of improvements in 2009. Various updates including the massive conversion to flash. This definitely allowed Full Tilt to be able to expand its features, but in doing so they lost other things including the 3rd party software "Poker Shortcuts" which is a must to multi tabling grinders.
