Thanks That Was Fun












So, a running theme of this blog will probably be me bitching about variance in poker, whether I like it or not. I'll try to keep it to a minumum. The above graph is of 6,768 hands I played in a roughly 27 hour span starting at midnight Thursday. Nice little tilt-fueled rollercoaster. When I hit the lowest point I went and slept for a couple of hours, came back and rallied. Should be able to move up tomorrow or the day after if I don't tilt. Some hands:

I river the nuts and my deepstacked opponent shoves into me

Quads get paid off

Nice turn card

Might have gotten a little out of line preflop

As far as Magic goes, I need to play some games of Extended at some point. I think old Death Cloud decks will probably be replaced by more aggressive brews like Michael Jacob's, but we'll see. If TEPS becomes a mainstay it may be time to dust off your Elves. I'm interested to see what people will do with the new stuff out of Conflux, but it seems like there's a lot of ridiculously overpriced (manawise) cards again. First they make smaller sets, now this? Forecast: cracking packs will be an even worse idea.
