Keith gets Hyper Active

I've got a feeling that playing the fifty fiftys and HU hypers did a power of good for my 6 max game just from taking a break and getting out of a rut. concentrating on an alternative version of the game , i've come back to 6max and left a lot of my old game behind and starting to think better about poker rather than auto piloting through a hand.

to a certain extent exemplified by getting on a range of currency and stake tables rather than trying to get on as many as possible at one stake, to put myself in a better position to take a share of the prizemoney.
Thinking about it paid off compared to autopilotting and adding tables without thought.

this is a scary thought. this was my screen near the end of todays session. money on the table was bigger than my total stars roll just over a month ago.





this is 50nl so far , running nearly 3 buyins below all in ev but starting to get a feel of how it plays.

fun hands of the day

villain 24/21
