I’ve decided to move my entire roll to Full Tilt since Pokerstars was annoying me, and I was missing the rakeback that was the only thing that kept my roll alive.
The wire transfer will take a couple of days, but the amount’s not such a big deal that I can’t just take it out of my current account. However when I opened up FT it wasn’t totally empty – a lonely $10 sat there (looks like my affiliate has switched from monthly Rakeback to weekly).
So I thought I’d have a go to see if I could build that $10 a little and just wait for the wire transfer to clear (unless I lose it in the next hour or so). Game chosen: $2 husngs.
So far lost only two, both of which were miracle 5% hits by the villains. $2 seems massively different from any other husngs – everyone calls everything!
One opponent decided to help me out;
Board was QK2QK, he’d checked turn & river so I put out a little thin value bet on the river with my Ace – he calls with his J and says ‘Obvious’. He then went on to call my flop cbets with hands that had no way of improving (you’re bluffing so I call?), and then after this hand where I thought it was worth a bluff on the river (despite having said what huge stations these guys are);

Hero: I’m lost – which bit do you mean?
Villain: why raise if i check
Hero: as a bluff

and now I’m bothered that I get dumb. Don’t raise a check as it’s buying the pot which is bad? No idea…
More blogging/poker when that’s done.
