This is the first time I have been able to do this. This is like a secret club, the check raise on every street club. I know Jake is in it.

So I have still not decided where I want to focus myself.

I decided to withdraw from Prima and concentrate at party. I am giving up my juicy rakeback percentage, but I think the games on party are so juicy themselves that I will make more without the rakeback, especially now I have decided against the HU NL games.

For some reason I am a good player HU NL cash and not so great when it comes to SNG format. I think my problem is I try to make too many plays early and over complicate things.

Today I bubbled in one MTT and finished 18th in another. I have had a lot of money place finishes so far including 2 final tables.

I hit up the PLO8 SNG's and have cashed/won the majority of those. Have I finally found my niche in poker? For so long now I have been following different avenues in poker. I think I have tried just about everything for...
