All quiet(ish) on the Eastern Front

Last week's breaking news from Russia was their decision to classify poker as a sport. Witnesses to Deadly's corporate football performance have since requested that football be downgraded to a parlour sport. Seems the man's finishing may not be quite as 'deadly' on astroturf as on the felt.

Moocher also had his corporate head on with homework to do and a dubai trip looming. He did manage to squeak in one US$6 - 9 man SnG and ends up raising the metaphorical winner's trophy along with his bankroll. With a US$25 Party bonus on top his bankroll looks like it is heading in the right direction and his good run continues.

With Bigshotbog off to Singapore we assume his run-rate remains low to non-existant.

I sneak away for one US$6 SnG and one accompanying 10NL table. Fold through the early stages and am just about to kick into life when my computer freezes. It regains some vital signs in time to see my stack at 770 with still four left at around 4.5K each. Start getting aggressive and steal blinds to get up to 1,400 but eventually get called. I'm pleased ti avoid domination as my A7s meets 55 but it comes off second best. I spark up two more cash games and it takes me another 30 mins to win US$8 and make amends for the loss.

I'm also quite certain that excessive virtual "sport" activity has a direct effect on fitness levels, going to try and hit the tables tonight...maybe I'll jog on the spot while I do so?

If you multi-table like me you can expect to be three times fitter than your average opponent. Moochers 'mouse' arm must be looking like Arnie's by now given his table hours.

Do you think he wants to play HU for the rest of his FT account? If he's not really using it......
