So, the last week has had quite little poker content - one notable exception was last Friday evening, when I met up with my good friend Don for some online poker at a local internet cafe. We both joined the same Seven-card-stud High/Low tournament, I got knocked out about halfway through the field, and Don made the money. During this process, I also managed to get my butt handed to me on multiple 2-7 Triple-Draw tables, along with a couple of HORSE tables, just for kicks. I had a rough evening, but the next day, I made everything back plus a little extra for my time. It only took an hour at three very loose Razz tables to make about sixty big blinds, which is a good enough rate to keep me happy for the week.
I didn't play again until yesterday, when I thought I'd try a $1.10 5-Card Draw tournament on Stars. Some time later, this was my final result:
So, not much of a profit for the time invested, but I'm really enjoying the process of playing in these low buy-in tournaments, and it's a great way to get a feeling for some of the more obscure poker variants out there. I don't think that I'd played 5-Card Draw for about ten years, much before I'd ever heard of pot odds or counted outs. What's next, a Badugi tournament? (Note to self - remember that you tried Badugi at Doyle's Room a couple of years ago, and got your butt handed to you there too...)
Okay, perhaps I'll settle for the more traditional non-hold'em games for the time being. Thanks for reading, have a good week on the virtual felt!

Might I suggest a rebuy game? Perhaps a little $1 silliness? *grin
