Ok. A week has gone by. Very fast. +2.5BI over maybe 600 hands, I didn't check exactly how many hands I played, but it wasn't much. Got coolered twice in the last two days for full stacks though, so it was almost more like +4.5BI up to sunday...oh well.

So, a week of 2-tabling felt about the same, only a LOT slower. I didn't really feel that my decisions were any easier with more time to think about them, just that they came around a lot less often. I'm going to pick the pace back up (table-wise) for the next week, back to 4-tabling! It never felt rushed before, so I don't think that my decisions are affected by it. We shall see. If I find myself making glaring mistakes, then I guess 2-tabling is my limit, even if it is slow...

Genitruc just updated his operation this morning also, http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...46595-140.html and I found myself looking at a very similar play style and thought process to what I have (even though 6-max). I think that one thing that I really have to work on for my own game is using a value-oriented bet more often. I find myself betting hard a lot trying to chase out the draws, but at the same time this tends to commit me to the pot more often with middle holdings if we get to the river where sometimes the effective stack is less than a PSB. I may need to work on "the setup" more when deciding my turn bet size. Now is not the time to think about this a lot, I have to first make sure that my game is solid and I'm not making stupid mistakes first before I add this facet to my repertoire.

Outside of poker, I went down to Boston on Tuesday to pick up two teenage visitors that will be with us for the next month. So far so good. We have them sleeping outside in a tent actually, so it actually isn't cluttering up the house much yet. They are picking up after themselves and not making a nuisance, so no stress added yet (except for shower time...) Hopefully the excitement of being in america doesn't wear off for a while. Also, we had a new metal roof installed on the house this weekend! Wow, what a difference! We had quite the ice-dam this past winter with a little leaking going on, and we knew that we would have to do something about it this year. So we looked at the options and went with the standing seam route instead of shingles. It looks much better than my wife and I thought it would, so we're happy! Now I just have to play a LOT more poker to pay this off!
