I won a bunch of money today in the rebirth of the 500-1k NLHE games on FTP. I'm not sure what prompted me to want to play in those games because even though they were good games I am usually too much of a chicken shit to go near them. I didn't have a large piece of myself, but I think it's safe to say I made some people involved with Leggo pretty happy as well.

Honestly, there was nothing all that interesting-- I coolered people more than they coolered me, had the good part of my range at times, etc. and combined that with playing really well. I don't think I made a mistake all session, and certainly not in a pot >50 bbs. It's too bad I wasn't actually rolled for these games, because I feel like I would do well in them whenever they ran.

I will keep this short and sweet and get down to what you want to see:

I don't think there is anything strategically interesting in any of these hands.

And for the grand finale, there was ~20 minutes of video recorded in the middle of this. Audio will be attached to it in the future, barring some kind of major camtasiac meltdown.
