March Madness......NOOOOT
March has so far been incredibly uneventful poker-wise. I played live once, in a 2-4 NL game in Bad Harzburg. It was the nittiest live game I had ever seen in Germany, but fortunately the one idiot managed to spill some his money my way so at least I made 350 Euros there in a few hours.
Online I have mostly been playing about 100 hands of 5/10 limit hold'em every other morning waiting for my turn to use the bathroom and am up about $1k with that. Sadly, I'm down about $900 playing 400SHNL one day when I got stacked FIVE times by my foes hitting their two-outers on the turn.
Not anything special, just harsh when it happens a lot. Guess I should be happy only losing $900 that day.
Went to play in a Magic Grand Prix in Amsterdam last weekend, too. It was twoheaded giant sealed/draft, which sounds like fun in theory but is actually just a terrible format. We dropped at 1-1 after round 2 because even if we won out we would have had to play until 3 in the morning and had no desire to do so without having eaten. Of course, after we did, they changed the structure from 9 rounds to 7 rounds so that no one would have to do just that. Thanks.
