I’ve mostly been playing sit’n’gos lately, and I’ve been doing ok, but not great. The swings have been pretty big. One day I’ll win 20k and the next day I’ll lose 15. February has been a lot better than January was, so I guess I’m doing ok.

After having some severe bad luck, I finally managed to win a seat on the Party Cruise. I was playing the single table $1900 sngs that pay one seat. I had gotten heads up with a significant chip lead and lost three times. Anyway, I locked up the seat on the very last day that the satellites were running, so I’m pretty happy about that. I’ve heard great things about the PPM, and this is the first year that it has been 18+, so all in all I’m definitely looking forward to it.

I’m working on a few changes on the website that I think my readers will like including setting up an RSS feed and posting some more stuff like book reviews. Most of these changes should be up by the end of the month.

I wrote an article last night, although I want to finalize it before I post it. Here’s a nice little tease:

Imagine you are playing a $200 sit’n’go on PartyPoker. Blinds are 200/400 and there are four players left. Here’s the kicker, not only does everyone have exactly 2500 chips, but everyone plays optimally. You are in the small blind and it folds to you. Which hands will you go all-in with?

Before answering this, remember that everyone plays optimally. This means that the big blind will know exactly what range of hands you are going all-in with. Despite this, the correct answer is that you should be going all-in with every hand. This will probably seem ridiculous. If the big blind knows you are moving all-in with any two cards, he will be calling with a wide range of hands, right? Wrong.

So why is that logic wrong? Well, you’ll just have to read my article to find out.
