Under the weather

Feel rough at the moment, not properly ill, so that I can stay off work, but def. not right. Yep, it's the dreaded man-flu. I don't know who caught it off who but my little son is not right either. He was really sleepy yesterday, and refused one feed, which was very worrying. He's five months old and this is the first time he's been ill in any way. Just as we put the phone down after talking to a nurse on NHS Direct he woke up, smiled, and gulped down his milk. A miracle recovery, and a big relief!

I have played a couple more sessions of 6-max at the $20nl level, which went badly, ending with me down 2-3 buy ins. I have decided to learn heads-up cash. This is mainly for fun at the moment as at 10nl I worked out I was paying 20bbs per 100 hands in rake. I don't think it's easy for a begginner HU player to overcome a 20bb/100 penalty right from the word go so I'll be playing only to learn and for fun until I can move up. I lost a buy-in on my first HU match, but I played OK I think. Nothing you can do when villain (a total calling station) keeps hitting bottom pair and you keep missing. Of course just as the tide was turning and I started hitting a few hands he ran off, the feeble weak-wristed fop.

So I need to get in a load more 6-max hands, and keep learning HU, which will hopefully help my 6-max game. I just need to put the hours in.
