Changes

When I got home from work today, I decided I would play 3 or 5 heads up matches and see if I got winner or not before pressing on. Upon opening Full Tilt, I got a new update. Probably something I won't even notice I thought. Ha! This update added a rematch option for heads up SNGs. BRILLIANT! How many times have you outplayed someone heads up only to lose to a suckout or complete crap luck and hurried back to the menu to try and catch that player again before someone else got the chance to take YOUR money from him/her?

I know I have had this happen quite a few times, often missing the person I wanted to play and getting someone else much better as I kept my eye on the player who was busy giving away my money. Needless to say, I thought this addition was great. At first. I posted a 15-11 (.577) record for the day heads up, but that included 4 consecutive losses to someone that I really thought I was outplaying. When I finally beat him in the fifth match, he declined my offer for a rematch. Ugh. I found him right away and sat down in another HU game with him and asked, politely, why he didn't let me have a chance to win back my money after I rematched him every time he won. His answer didn't satisfy me, and I ended up dismantling him pretty quickly and, of course, politely before he "headed off to dinner". I'm still down 2-4 to this guy, but will definitely be looking for him very soon to pull my money back out of his pockets.

Other than that little hiccup, I am very happy with my play and results today. 2-4 against him and 13-7 (.650) against the rest of my opponents. I spent way too much time and energy in the process, but I did end the day up a couple SNG buy-ins after the rake, and got pretty hot at the right time on a limit table in the process. I think I spent about 45 minutes playing two cash games while playing my heads up matches, and in about 20 minutes on the one table I was up 1.5 buy ins....in a limit game. Small stakes may be a big headache for the amount of money you win, but the skill level is still terrible and the tables often produce a decent profit for a good player. Not to mention, it gives me a lot of material for my Low Limit Hand of the Week.
