My poker news this week is minimal.. I have been playing well all week, and getting my money in when I am ahead - but mega busts have meant a general lack of interet (and fat profit) in poker this week. .However I decided to play a few hundred hands before bed, and karma has decided to even things out, all in the space of 60 mins.

I can assure my readers that I am not a “set flopping machine” - I have even analysed my PokerTracker logs to find out using an amusing tool called the setometer -(Click here to check it out - *note Requires the .net framework)
Here’s my stats for flopping sets, according to my PT logs - image courtesy of the Setometer.
I love PokerStars again.
