My poker game has been up and down. I am happy that I decided to learn 6max and HU NL holdem. I am also buying into more SNG’s more than average. Learning about the different short handed NL games has helped my overall understanding of poker. And, kept my desire to play poker fresh.
HU has helped me develop faster as a poker player. You get to practice value betting and putting someone on a range many times more than you would in a 6max game. You can also play hyper-aggressive which keeps it exciting. The bankroll swings more in HU, but you can make more ptbb/100. Me likey. I barely play full ring cash anymore.
You also don’t have to deal with that guy who is stealing your blinds from the button. It is so hard to play back at that guy. In HU there is no where for your enemy to hide. The better player will win in the long run. Ansky said he was a 55% favorite on average. That is my goal.
Now about the smartphone. I purchased the Samsung Omnia. You can play Cake Poker on your MS windows smartphone for real money. They also gave me $15 for beta testing. The smartphone software needs to be tweaked a little more for my liking. The desktop software is like Party Poker, which I like b/c it reminds me of the good old days of Party Poker. You can get 33% rake and the competition is mediocre. I can also tether my smartphone to my laptop. Tethering turns your phone into a WIFI modem. This allows me to play poker on my laptop when I am on the road.
One last thing, I like to Tivo Ansky’s show on G4. Not too bad.
