scoops and life in the red
Posted in Poker | View Comments (12)
 

Since my win at caesars I've been blanking scoops real hard and losing at cash. I had a legit day today though getting 10th in the 3k 4max which turned out to be an unbelievably fun tournament and coolering some guys in cash. When I busted I had ~275 hands won without showdown for the tournament of ~900 hands played and the avg stack was something like 140bbs. The structure throughout was almost too good, but really ideal for a skill packed online tournament. I think scoop structures are actually the best ever for online tournaments, but simply not practical for day to day because of how long it takes(tournament started at 2pm with 5k 10-20 and I busted at 12am for a 100k pot at 400-800 lol).

On another note, I became a full tilt red pro today so now I stand out in the chat box. Hopefully I get both my avatar and first commercial soon. I also played the doubles poker championship the past few days and had a super good time, so check that out in mid July when it airs. The format is really cool mostly because it's totally innovative and great for TV, but I think I enjoy variants of hold'em more than most, evidenced by my strong background in and creation of merkle. The structure on the other hand is way fast, but somewhat necessary for how long it would take if it weren't done like this. It could be really cool to have a multitable tournament with similar ideas, and could even potentially be done online at some point. Honestly though, the future of online poker is so hard to speculate about because the sky is the limit when it comes to the possibilities.

We are truely in a weird time as far as online poker is concerned. I'm really curious to see how things will look like 5 years from now. Gratz on the red pro status, it's def a gain for FT.
