Got a bit sloppy and lost a couple of hundred thousand, I guess bed was a bit more inviting and I ended up going all in against AK with A9, definitely one off my loosest calls of the whole game

WD good run.

I tend to get too loose when I get some chips. Silly really when you think that you"ve earned those chips by playing a solid game. Something I need to stop doing!

Will prob play L & M but trying to do it on the cheap. Just about to sat into the L for the 3rd time, I hope. Unreg"d twice with a view to using those dollars to try to sat into the M, lol.

[AceOnTheRiver]

Badugi is............ uneventful so far!

I made the first break but so did 99.37% of the field.

[AceOnTheRiver]

A mere 92% of the field made the 2nd break. I am now down to 3.5 from the 5k starting stack so need to win a couple of pots.

Maybe for you - it"s been pretty crap for me so far. And when I do get a decent hand I lose with 7-high to 6-high, etc or this happens:

I dream of 8.8k. When I have the high made Badugi and bet it strong someone keeps getting there with their middling draw. Or else someone else is standing pat and I have to break the Badugi to try to draw smaller or just fold - usually fold. When I have A23, I pay a fortune and miss. It"s not going well.
