We'll just pretend I posted a pretty boring South by Southwest trip report (KRANTZ put up way better updates while we were there then I could hope to anyway – dangerlion.com). Since then I've been home for the month with sort of my standard life routine going on. Splitting my time between some programming work, where I've finally put up a bunch of new featuers on www.thehandconverter.com, assisting with DeucesCracked business, making some videos, and been finding some time to play online poker which has been pretty fun.

I mostly am playing triple draw on stars, and a little of the 8 game mix and/or badugi, though I am at this point convinced that I might be a dog in the typical 40/80 badugi game that runs there as my results have been awful and I see the regulars playing somewhat differently from me. I feel pretty confident about my play in triple draw and have been doing best playing heads up, which is really a lot of fun in addition to being lucrative for me recently. I felt with those wins it would be appropriate for me to dump back some money playing the triple draw SCOOP events during the big tournament series. The fact that the mid and the high stakes buyin ones both had an overlay was a nice surprise as well. Unfortunately I dwindled off in all of them around the mid point, about that time when a limit tournament starts to bust a lot of people and you need to make some hands and build a stack for the long haul or say goodbye. I guess it could be worse as I certainly had a ways to go before the money and bubbling hurts more, but after my luck in the WSOP last summer I probably had myself convinced that I'm some sort of limit donkament allstar, glad to get that out of my system

I did an interview with Bart Hanson for the DC podcast – http://www.deucescracked.com/podcasts/deuceplays – we discussed triple draw and draw games in general for awhile. And I submitted an article to Bluff magazine and will try to write a few more if they like that one, I think it will go in their print magazine this month but need to double check.

Other than that just been home with the family but headed to Seattle for a week of work at DC's office tomorrow. I don't know how I'll get through a flight without having Joe Tall there to lose money to me at gin, but I'll try to manage.
