FT vs PS

Snooker on Wed night, and we need to win big against RACV to have any chance to qualify for the finals. I won my match 3-0 against George Hoy, and overall we won like 15-3. Although it looks like a huge win, but still not enough to qualify for the finals. Not long ago we were sitting pretty in the top 4 and were several games in front of Humphrey Bear's team. Since then, they added Roger Leighton to their side, and he made a whole lot of difference. I would like to wish Humphrey Bear all the best in the final. At the same time, I also feel a bit sorry for him. He has to stuck with those faggots for at least another week. Thats shame!

Speaking of George Hoy. I really respect him a lot. He and Alan Croft and Paul Cosgriff are the 3 members really work hard in the VBSA board. I used to call George Hoy "5 B". That was ages ago and we were joking around. I said to him I would only call him "5B's" instead of "6 B's". Coz "6 B" stands for "Big Bad Bold Ball-Breaking Bastard!" Since he is all-right, I wouldn't call him a bastard. That's how 5B was formed.

Since my record breaking swim at the Pond, I have no intention going there again in the near future. I also tilt away my PS account, so time for deposite again. This time I deposited US$40 in PS as well as FT (also $40US). Already bust my PS account, had 2 buy-ins in the 10c/ 25c PLO. Flop dead all the way. In my first buy-in, my Ad Js 10d 8d lost to bottom 2 pair in 8 7d 4d. It was a raised pot and the guy had KK 47. I put him on over pair as he was the initial raiser. All the money went on the flop and he hit 4 on the turn for full-house. In my second buy-in, my bottom set bumped into top set. Not much I can do there, as I had 5677, flop K X 7.

In the other site, its about time that FT rig it my way. The PLO game in FT is a lot softer than in PS. Occasionally, there a a lot of pre-flop raising and people play like lottery. One thing I like in FT is that, people would bet right into me when I have the goods. They will also called my bet, when I had a set+ nut flush draw, all the way to the river with some 7 high flush draw. There was a hand when I had AKJx ds in CO. Limp pot, and I raise to $1 for value. Flop AAK, they all check to me and I bet $4 on the flop, and I still got 2 callers. Turn rags, we all check, river another rag. Some guy will shove into me with just a K in his hand. You gotta love it! Also in FT, I tend to hit more flops than in PS. From $40, I manage to build it up to $110. There is also a tournament I like to play in FT. "The daily dollar". Only $1 to enter, with a guarantee prize pool of $10k. On average, only 8000 entrants, pays top 1080th. Winner gets $1600. The structure is good, non-turbo with double stack. Plenty of play in it.

I guess a will stop playing at PS for a short while. Just want to see how far FT will rig it my way before I quit again! Heading back to Adelaide next Tuesday for a week. Might swim around over there. Mostly in tournaments. I had bad experience playing cash games over there. All I can say is, there are too many stables.
