Finally got a home poker game arranged! Its the sort of thing that we plan to do every other week and actually manage about once a year. Its micro-stakes, and since Hannah has less poker-experience she gets to call for a round of tequilla for everyone else every now and again...

I lost 3 stacks within the first hour - playing KTs fast into A8s on a flush draw turn and both missing, running 99 into two pair on a 6-high flop, and check-raise shoving a flop flush draw into KK. Somehow managed to make a come-back and finish 1.5 buy-ins up, but after a couple of Vesper-martinis (Started as James Bond themed irony and really developed a taste for them) and a couple of tequillas, I'm not really sure how I managed it. Here are some pictures:



Online I have got off to a great start to the year - running well above expectation with $8k profit in 1700 hands.

I've decided that Party Poker isn't as great as I previously thought. They do have more fish but they have many times more regulars as well. Its hard to get on a good table because the list will be 10-deep and the players will have turned over by the time you get there.

I'm going to check out Full Tilt next, I can see that they have a lots of players too, but the lists don't look as long and it seems like the might have more types of tables to choose from, so I'm hoping the pool of regulars in each might be smaller.
