Funky times & Short buy ins

So as I've mentioned before, I've been only able to play cash games during the week, since my day job has gotten somewhat complicated, and my time for poker is limited to some evening cash sessions. Which kinda sucks, since what I really enjoy is playing tournaments. Although it's probably my biggest leak, nevertheless, it is what I enjoy the most.

This is also affecting my participation in the blonkaments, which I had been a steady regular in. But with most starting pretty late, and double stacks making for longer tournaments, I'll only really be able to play when I see it's single stack, or turbo's (hint hint). I may play the Mook tonight, but it will be a game time decision.

The cash games have been up and down. I've been screwing around with buying in short lately, and have had some moderate success. I remember reading on one of the blogs, that busting short stacks is like eating Chinese food, as your still hungry for more! That one stuck with me, but I got to tell you, there are guys who are 'specialist' in the short buy arena. One guy at 1/2, has (that I've seen) as many as 10 tables going. If you look at their HUD stats, you know if they are serious 'specialist' or not. They will have played about 5 % VPIP, and when they go in, it's for stacks (haha). Their goal is simply to double up. Sometimes they leave, and rebuy again, others hang around for one more double up. Their range is pretty narrow obviously, big pairs, maybe AK sooted, but thats it. Personally, I am too Laggy, but I suppose if you fire up 1o+ tables, you can play pretty tight. Don't know, may try that as an experiment too.

Ok, thats it for now.......I'll leave you with this crazy hand, which as you most know, is pretty 'standard' on FT. About the only thing that would have made it even crazier, would have been if I had stayed in, and the 3 of diamond hits the river.....which would still have made this 'standard'!
