In Today's Episode Of "Full Tilt Tips From The Bros"...

Here's a pro tip for you: Never do something so stupid as to say "I'm going to keep on playing until I flop at least ONE set tonight".

I speak from experience. I did that yesterday, and was well into my third hour of three or four tabling before I got one. Which of course won me virtually nothing. It was a relief, though, to know that I could go to bed without karmic repercussions.

It's been an odd week. I've played more in one week than I have in the last four months combined, and it's been ... fun? I've been playing garden variety NLHE cash games and it's been ... fun?



It definitely helps when the sessions are winners.

You have to love the Full Tilt RNG. After exercising great patience - and being down close to a buyin due to periodic hosings - it finally came through for me:

I picked up AA in UTG+1 position. I make a puny raise, it folds around and I pick up the blinds. Hey, this is exactly what happened a couple orbits earlier when I had KK. Nice table.

Next hand: AA again. UTG. Fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold ... re-raise? WOOT. A brand new player sat down and on his big blind 3 bet me. I couldn't make it four fast enough. He check-raised me all in on a jack high flop and .... I couldn't watch.

Wait, wait, whew.

QQ NO GOOD.

I had back to back aces in a live charity game earlier this year, but I don't remember getting them online before. Pretty cool, although I would have been rather irked if I'd gotten no action on either.

Anyhow, I'll probably be back at it tonight. Don't forget the WPBT warm up tournament, visit Bam Bam for all the details.
