Things are going well...

Hey everyone, sorry for no update in a long time. Very busy with school and squeezing in as much poker as I can, as well as some traveling I have to do for various reasons.

So far this month playing NL50 full ring on Full Tilt and a little bit on Cake I'm up over 30 buyins in probably 20kish hands, so that translates to about 7.5 ptBB/100. I've run hot at times, and while I'm probably running a bit ahead of expectation I don't think this is all luck, obviously. I love how soft and passive the games are, and I think beating them for 5 ptBB/100 is very, VERY managable.

Playing full ring and adding more tables has helped me stop some spewage that was occurring in the 6-max games just by playing too many marginal hands in marginal spots and making bad decisions. The decisions are often quite easier here due to less aggressive play and hand ranges being more defined because of the full ring structure.

This is my biggest month ever and I hope to move up to NL100 full ring next month. I hope you are all doing well and running well and good luck at the tables.

Full ring

I've been playing some 50NL full ring on FT lately. The game are weak, a lot weaker than the 6-max games. The low stakes 6-max games on FT have lots of CR and 2+2ers, smart players who are learning. Full ring has a LOT more dead weight, at least so far.

Give full ring a try if crazy variance at 6-max is bugging you!
