TheSwede Poker

My long break from poker was interrupted by 3 small tournaments on a different network then Pokerstars, but I wanted to ease into poker, not battle against thousands of players as I normally have to do. A solid 8th and a 15th spot was the result in the 2 NL Holdem tournaments and spectacular 2nd place in Omaha PL. I netted £843 and was happy with the way I played.

Know I can play just about every poker game that is available but need practice on a few of the really strange ones like Razz & Badugi. So HORSE games have not been something I have entered but in the future I sure will since this is what the true legends always play. 8-Game Mix is a variety of this and with more games it should be harder. I have to look at the video “How to Play 8 Game Mix” to get my skill up.

OMG for Badugi since this is one of the few games that I know of that the worst hand wins. If you are used to playing to get the best hand the transition to Badugi might be a tough one. Learn more by watching the video “How to Play Badugi”! I watched it and still have a hard time getting it right while playing.

I will put my mind into Hi/Lo games for a while to learn the skill necessary to be the ultimate player in bigger events both online and live. Next time I sit down with Hachem, Moneymaker & Raymer live I hopefully can join in on their discussions of those games.

So when is my next tournament going to be played you wonder?

This week is basically filled with events both private and with work so there is not a chance I get a game in until maybe the weekend if I’m lucky. If the sun is shining on the weekend chances of a game is ZILCH since I’ll be out in the garden with wifey doing spring cleaning. YAY! NOT!
