I finally got around to adding a few new titles to the poker library this week. Amazon was kind enough to ship me Harrington on Hold'em Vol II (by Dan Harrington), Ace on the River: An Advanced Poker Guide (by Barry Greenstein), and Weighing the Odds in Holdem Poker (by John Feeney) along with some new fiction including the latest Dan Simmons novel. I've started in on Harrington V.II and I'll post a full review as soon as I'm through it. However, early indications point to the combination of Harrington's two books taking over as the best poker book(s) in my library.

I've been playing a decent amount of live poker lately, hosting a couple large events organized through KCPoker.org as well as a couple smaller home games. My tournament game remains my best - in the last two larger KCPoker events I took second and first respectively. I crossed the 100 SNGs played @ the $20+2 level this weekend, and have started mixing in $30+3 SNGs (usually playing one $22 and one $33). So far I'm 3/4 ITM at the $33 level with a first and two thirds. I'll probably be playing exclusively at the $33 level here very shortly.

I cashed out a grand from the bankroll earlier this month to pay for some unexpected real-world expenses relating to the new house, and I plan on re-depositing $500 at a time with the next two Party Poker reload bonuses. I'm actually looking forward to getting back to the limit tables and grinding out the bonus - I believe my game is much improved since my last serious forray at the limit tables, and my ego takes a bit of a blow every time I open up the ring game statistics in Poker Tracker and see negative numbers at the $2/$4 limit tables.... so I'm looking forward to heading back in to battle at the same limit tables that delivered as much junk-kicking in the past, under the guise of bonus chasing and its +EV goodness. Once that $1000 is back in the bankroll, i'll likely be moving up to the $33 SNG level full time.
