"Check raising the Devil"
So I just finished reading Mike "The Mouth" Matusow's autobiography "Check raising the Devil". It was very entertaining. Mike has had a lot of similarities to Stu Unger. This book is not a poker strategy book, but he does go over a few key hands he has played. If you are looking for an entertaining read I would recommend it. Also, I ordered my copy on fulltilt with my points and Mike signed the inside of it, which is pretty cool of him to do that.
As for poker I have been playing alot of cash games lately and mixed games also. I have been doing very well at the 7-game tables on fulltilt ranging from $4/$8 upto $12/$24. At these tables we play limit holdem, limit omaha hi/lo, stud, stud 8, razz, no limit holdem and pl omaha. I am very comfortable with the first 6 games but I do not like the variance and aggression I see in plo.
I have also played some sit n gos this month, but I have mainly been playing cash games. I will put my sit n go graph down below for the month. There is about 200 missing from when fulltilt updated their software. I was about break even during that time.
I have been thinking about staking lately and if any of you have had any success or experience staking people let me know. I would be interested in what you have to say. (I am not looking to stake people right now, just looking for information and possible roi that could be expected.)

Makin millions as usual I see. I was meaning to ask you what you thought about Full Tilt Shortcuts, Im thinkin about getting it. Do you recommend it?
Also fwiw, One of the biggest stakers I know said that if you don't have a yearly ROI of 100% staking then your not doing it very well. (100% ROI as in double your money in a year not a 100% ROI per investment average)
Keep killin it man. Good Luck to ya.
Hey man nice job... as for staking goes i have a good ammount of experience with it.. You need to do ur research on who u r going to stake tho, its nothing that u can just do and expect to have a good ROI... very good stakers i see on the website im on maintain a 30% ish ROI avg easy, but it is time consuming.
The website i use is parttimepoker.com ... its the largest online staking website, its legit, and theres a lot and lot of good horses available to back, i recommend it, the community there is awesome.

You can use those stats but the fold to cont bet takes thousands of hands for the sample size to be sufficient to have any real meaning. So if you don't play with alot of the same people it wont help much. I don't just play 45 mans, but they are my main game because they are so profitable for me.

I was using the Full Tilt Shortcuts till it broke and now they moved me to the Poker Shortcuts beta. It is still really glitchy at the moment.
When Full Tilt Shortcuts was working though I found it to be invaluable. You can set it up to: autoclose windows for you, to hit the time button on your tables when it comes up, to hit the I'm back button when you do time out. It made multitabling so much easier for me.
Also, I love hitting keyboard shortcuts instead of clicking everything.
Hey Mark,

Hey Mark,
Don't have any experience with staking but I'm sure you'll find a lot of info from 2+2 poker forum. Here's a shortcut: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/135/staking/
By the way, I've been playing $10 45-mans for almost a month now. Before that I never multitabled (now I'm 4 to 6 tabling) and never played 45-mans either. Pretty sweet!
Be good,
Calitry
