It is sort of funny when everyone comes to the same conclusion all at once. Case in point I have moved down to 3-6NL short handed to try and get fat again and low and behold so have many other players. Seemingly all at the same time. Certainly it is tougher sledding than it used to be but I think something more important is going on, the need and want to move up in stakes has slowed and people are looking for the easiest games with reasonable profit. I can say on my end I am up about 4k for the week and I haven’t had a particularly difficult game all week. On Bodog. Full Tilt is another story, I was short on that site so I started playing the 4-8NL deep stack (oh, how I love deepstacks), at the end of the evening I had blown out my FTP account (I didn’t have a lot in there, I was actually surprised to find anything in there, similar to finding pennies in your cushions except this is 2 grand). In general though poker is treating me well and I don’t have any plans in playing too much higher as long as I am winning at a decent rate. The problem I usually encounter isn’t that I lose it is that I don’t win enough and eventually get bored and move up and do well or blow out.

Cane is my current favorite TV show on the network primetime schedule, though it started off with a bang and is starting to whimper. Basically the show is Jimmy Smits having a bad day on the regular, you can read better reviews than mine but if you are looking for something to watch and you miss the Sopranos this might help. Journeyman is also a pretty good show, it is a little out there and it may take you the whole show to kind of get it but once you do I think you will agree that the payoff was worth the wait.

HBO is doing it’s 24/7 documentary on the Mayweather/Hatton fight coming up on December 8th. I really hope Floyd Mayweather is trying to be a douchebag because what a shame if he isn’t. This Hatton kid seems pretty interesting but he will likely get outboxed. Mayweather is not an entertaining fighter to a casual fight fan like myself. Watching him run away from his opponents is a yawner, though I will likely buy the fight because you never really know.
