Quick update

Not really had as much time to devote to the game as I would like recently, so my sample sizes are small, but so far I have played 6 of the $15+1 Stars 9-man SNGs and had a 1st and two 3rds for a 27% ROI. I'm still a little unsure whether I am properly bankrolled for these, so I'm not playing more than two at a time, which is a bit of a waste I suppose but it should keep a higher per-game win-rate at least. Hopefully soon I can start to 4-table happily and without bankroll concerns holding me back, then I'll have a proper sample size to judge my results.

I have also played a handful of $3.80 Super Turbos on Full Tilt (yes, despite my saying I withdrew all my money I actually didn't take it ALL off... I took most of it off, and the rest will likely follow next time I have a decent sized purchase on my credit card that needs paying off). These are crazy, you get 300 chips and start at 15/30 blinds, so it is shove or fold lolz. Of course there are morons who don't grasp this and limp/fold or limp/call as normal, but really there is never any decision after pre-flop (unless you have junk in the big blind and nobody raises). Most of the people on Cardplayer who have tried these are reporting good results, so I had a bash earlier and played 4, winning 2 of them for a 100+% ROI!!!! (did someone say "small sample size" again? Quit bursting my bubble!!!). The problem is, these games are dangerously addictive, and I can feel they might start to creep into my game selection in the near future more than they should... I hope they don't mess up my real poker.

MTTs are still mis-firing, although I'm playing fine. I mis-click folded AA today though for the first time; I was clicking in another browser window when my table popped up and my cursor just happened to be exactly where the "fold" button was :( I'd been shoving like a maniac too, I'm sure my shove would have got action. Sucks but hey.
