So far, I like it. It's got a ton of features on it, so I'm still getting used to it. One of the things that is very handy, is the instant notifier whenever I get an email. Now, when one of my primary fish log on to a site and start playing, I'll get the email from tableratings.com and I can rush to my computer just like a doctor would rush to the hospital if he got an order to come in when on call, lol. I was interested in looking at iphones, as some of my friends I hung out with in Vegas had them, but Verizon doesn't carry iphones and I wasn't going to switch service just to get a particular phone. So this one appearantly was the closest I could get.
In poker news today, I played against John Duthie, a Team PokerStars Pro. He masterfully stacked me at $5/10 NL 6 Max and he was playing a super goofy style, something fairly fishy like 47/21 at the time the hand occured. I guess I should have 3-bet a little larger pre-flop but I figured he'd call with all sorts of crap then not be able to fold when he hit top pair... since I was pretty sure he's a tourney donk.
In all fairness, he seems like he's a pretty good tournament player though, as he has close to 2 million in total prize winnings according to his website. He actually was a really nice guy and accepted my HU challange and played me at $10/20 NL HU, although he would only play one table... it took about an hour or so but I finally felted him for a $5k pot. I guess the hand was a bit of a cooler, obviously it was a good flop for me, lol. I think he played the hand fine, but he was drawing pretty slim (I was 97.9% to win on the flop). Still fun to beat a PS sponsored pro. It was a good match, I hope we get a chance to play again.
This is the first weekend in a LONG time where I have just stayed home, relaxed, and got a chance to play some poker. I've been busy doing something, going out, traveling, going to a show, shooting clays, or whatever it seems every single weekend so it's nice to just relax for once. I don't think I've played poker any significant time during the weekend in the past two months, up until this weekend. That's sort of bad for business, as of course the games are juciest on Fridays and Saturdays. I hope to play a bunch of hands tomorrow and win some money.

I thought John Duthie was supposed to be a legend? You don't think he's that good?
ReplyDeleteNice hand. I've still been doing well on Absolute and started to win again a little on Pokerstars as well.
As you know I'm looking for students, any chance you know of anyone who needs a coach?
btw, here's an article by Phil Laak about how good John Duthie is.
