I have been playing a little more poker lately.  At this point I am so far out of the poker loop that it is almost scary.  I have been playing a lot of Limit Poker lately which is my strongest game.  It has been interesting one of the guys that I did not think was very good and that I have a significant edge over has been playing 200-400.  There are times where I play Heads Up well but I think I am actually a lot better 3 and 4 handed.  The person I am thinking of is a friend so I have stayed away from playing him.  The funny part is he likely thinks the same thing about me so I highly doubt he would mind the action.  Lately though I just can not muster the desire to play anything more than games that are basically just killing time.  I will say this though, Limit Poker on Cake has to be about the easiest games on the internet.  While I am about break even I do not think that is indicative of my win rate there over time.  The only problem is I am playing 20-40 and the games I would want to beat are 50-100 and higher.  I am sure some of the players are similar but usually that changes the lineup significantly.

It is interesting that the sites have started this nuclear war of high stakes poker, essentially causing a lot of players to go bust.  Personally I do not think there should be any game higher than say 10-20 NL online and 50-100 for Limit Poker.  The reason is simple, it will keep more money in the poker economy.  Sure a few players will miss the nose bleed stakes but what is happening now is people on tilt are essentially just blowing out.  I doubt any card room will make that change but it would be smart if they did and likely better for the long term health of poker.

This probably should not be the third item in a rambling blog but here it goes.  In the next month my hand replayer/stats analyzer should show its face.  It has been a long time coming but I think we finally got this right and if we did it should change poker in a major way allowing people to share hand histories easier and even allowing them some robust stats analysis.  We are still trying to nail down how we can make money off of it but I am pretty sure if we do it right that will not be an issue.
