Cravings...

I know what works for me. Where do I make money? NL Holdem Sit and Goes. If I would just stick with that, I would have a nice roll.

But what do I love to play? Heads Up of course, which is almost a break even affair for me, but completely enjoyable. MTTs, love them. It's all Waffle's fault, before meeting him, I thought that MTTs were a big lotto game. At the time he had scored a few final tables in a period of a couple of weeks and I thought, hmm, maybe it is not all luck afterall. But even when I do good and make the money, overall it has been a big drain to my roll.

But what is my all time favorite game? NL cash ring games. So tonight, I actually fell asleep when I put the kids to bed. In the middle of the night I wake up with a craving for poker. I open up Full Tilt and sit down at the NL cash game. I play for bit and am up a little when the following happens:

And that my friends is why I should avoid cash games. This sum represented 25% of my current roll on Full Tilt....
