Shelving, shelving

peterbirksAn entertaining kind of bifurcated, or even trifurcated, evening. I knocked off an hour on Party and an hour on Ultimate to build up the bonuses. The best games I could get on Ultimate were $2-$4 and $3-$6 with a kill. Obviously (!) the latter was far looser than the former.
Anyway, having got that out of the way and with $50 profit to my name, I attacked the first corner of the room, in the sense of removing the books and taking down the shelves. Tiring, but presumably good for the burning up of calories.
As opposed to the $1-$2 triple draw that I played for an hour before I went to bed, resulting in a loss of $46 of my hard-earned winnings. OK, this is a learning experience, and I anticipate that there could be a lot of money to be made here over the next couple of years. But at the moment the only thing I am burning up while playing short-handed triple draw is dollar bills. I mean, imagine short-handed hold'em. Now, make it swingier. Well, you get the picture. Great fun though and it's a change to have a learning experience at a completely new game of poker. I think I will have to start taking notes on the opposing players, looking at styles, taking notes of winning hands at showdowns, the lot. Hard work.
But all of that makes me about $80 down at Ultimate for the week, so I'd better give the madder games a rest until (hopefully) I've built up some cash at limit.
I'll start getting some hand histories of the TD games next time I play. If you think that PLO is a learning experience, well, this is a whole new ball game.
