First, props to Clayton for stepping up and calling FTP out on their current HU structure-

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...rarchy-685529/.

I would advise all HU pros or even players who just enjoy playing HU to support this initiative. It makes me sick to log on everyday and see the same usual suspects hoarding the A tables. It's no surprise that the biggest bumhunters are often the same guys who you see at these A tables. Guys like ProfessorK have completely manipulated the system to a point where he is sitting at only A tables from $1/2 through $5/10. The situation is obviously severely flawed and in need of change.

On a personal note, I have already accomplished some of my goals I set out for 2010. It's been easier than expected to get some of these things done since poker has been going quite well. Besides a brief 10k breakeven, I've been winning pretty steadily. I took a shot at 2/4 where I got stuck 3 buyins real quickly but battled back to finish up 3 buyins. Besides playing my regular games, I've started playing some of the deep hu games, which so far have been very profitable. I've been getting action from a reg who I am very confident I have a big edge on across six tables. His only stipulation is that when he doubles up on a specific table, he leaves that tables and opens 2 more buying in for 200bb. So basically what has happened is we start out 3 tabling or so and then we 6 table for a while and then I stack him on a bunch of tables and by the end of the session we are 2 tabling before he quits me

On the IRL front, I've been playing quite a bit of Fifa '10 with toocrispy over the past week or so. I fucking hate that game. I've been getting owned so hard. Inspired by the epic TRs, I'm thinking about booking Mexico for the month of Feb. I'm not sure if its going to happen yet but its looking very likely. I don't want to stray from my routine and my financial goals for the year but I think Mexico is too good of an experience to pass on. Plus, my birthday is coming up and it would be awesome to celebrate by doing something out of the ordinary for once.

That's all I got for now. Enjoy the football games today and take care.
