Thought I would start off with a plug for a friendly poker forum I visit called RaiseTheRiver. There are a good bunch of posters on there, plenty of banter, they have regular forum league games (you can play against me, but don't let that put you off) and even a podcast. Give it a whirl - http://www.raisetheriver.com/.

I thought I should give them a plug as the last 2 RTR league games have been very kind to me. It started off 2 Sundays ago with a 2nd place finish in the 1st game of the new league. I was beaten by Amatay, which isn't surprising as he plays tourns for a living and I hardly ever touch them. Anyway last Sunday I played in the 2nd game, a $5 rebuy and after a crazy 1st hour (mostly on the other table where people were shoving pre straight from the off) I was in for $20, with a bloated prize pool of about $300 from everyone's rebuys. I managed to win few flips and hit a few flops at the right time (just before and after the bubble) and ended up winning the thing for over $150. With the next game being Omaha (4 hole cards, WTF!?), we shall see how long I last at the top of the league...

I also played a quick 6-tabling session at 25nl 6-max too. I managed to run well and play fairly solid poker to make $60 in under an hour, so things are going well at the mo. Long may it continue.
