Day 48 – My Empire for a break
I love the Party games, I really do. However, when you have 6-8 people seeing each flop, and 1 or 2 people seeing every flop, you’re going to have times where they hit their hands and crack yours. And during certain periods, they’re going to do it more frequently than normal. This sort of thing goes with the territory, and if you’re not willing to accept it, you shouldn’t be diving into the pond in the first place.
That said, it’s getting kinda tiresome. I could regale you with bad beat after gutshot after runner runner, but that would accomplish nothing. At least for you, anyway. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Instead, I’ll just be thankful that the few hands that have held up have allowed me to almost keep even while collecting my deposit bonus at Empire. Now I’m wondering if a change of pace might help me snap out of my funk and keep my interest up. I’m two for two in the Sit N Go’s I’ve played so far, so tonight I think I’ll try some $10+1 games and see how they go. It’ll break up the monotony of the .50/1.00 play a bit and keep my mind fresh.
I’ve had thoughts of heading over to Pokerstars as well, but the lack of any discernable deposit bonus has prevented me from doing that just yet. Rumor has it that they’ll come up with one eventually, so I think I’ll just hang tight until then.
I don’t have any hands to present today as I don’t seem to have any set aside at the moment. I will however ask those of you reading if you’ve noticed a tendency for opponents to raise or checkraise the turn with hands such as gutshots, a pair with a gutshot, four to a flush, etc? Perhaps they’ve always done this and I’m only noticing it now that they’re hitting their ridiculous draws, but it sure seems like this sort of play is becoming more popular. God bless ‘em.
I’ll let you know how the SnG’s go. Wish me luck!
