A short hand virgin no more
Last night saw my debut in the short hand came playing 1/2 Short on CD Poker. While not a roaring success I managed to grind out a $5 proft, which is much better then the losses I have been experiencing over the last two weeks.
I also got back into my pet game the single table SnG finihsing 2nd twice and 6th twice for a total profit of $5. I am happy to have at least pulled a positive session for the first time in a while. Please rejoice with me.
A few observations on short-handed.
People will play any paint card with any kicker. I hold KJs with two pair on the flop and get called down by the chump with A3os. not complaining, money in my poket, but hey that A3 has nothing on the felt. If this is the type of play I'll be coming back for some more action.
Much faster, do not try and do two things at once playing this, I was mucking about with a side project while trying to play. Just play poker.
The pots are the same size or even larger then full ring, again any paint, low pay 22-88 people play these and will keep calling bets even if there are overcards.
I enjoyed short, suits my style more. I think this is due to my many SnG's as a lot of play is short in these I have managed to pickup some chops here for use in short LHE.
Time to search the various blogs for short-handed expertise.
