When you're not feeling well...

... you probably shouldn't play any poker. I've been having head-aches the last few days and I'm feeling very tired. Whereas a couple of weeks/months ago, that wouldn't have stopped me from playing poker, I decided not to play. I most likely would have played a horrible game and lost some or a lot of my bankroll, so it's better to sit it out.

I did watch all episodes of Poker After Dark, the cash game with durrr, helmuth, baxter etc. Even though I think High Stakes is a better show, it sure was interesting to see how different these players play the game. I was very impressed with Dwan's play: he seemed to know where he was in just about every hand. Helmuth behaved (and played) like his usual childish self, so nothing new there. I just think his style is not the most succesful in the toplevel poker of today. Cunningham was solid as usual.

Overall not a bad show, but the host is a joke and the commentary wasn't all that great either. Putting Baxter, Cunningham and Laliberté in one show didn't do much for interesting table talk. Next time, throw Matusow, Laak or Negreanu in the mix guys!

Cya next time!
