February - Whole new ballgame guys
I ended up $35.7k for the whole of February, 90% of which came from Triple Draw, which means I surpassed the entirety of last year's profits in a month.
Playing TD feels like printing money atm; it's poker in cheat mode. I don't think this is just a heater at all; I think the winrates can be huge in this game even at decent stakes, so much that downswings will rarely happen. I also think I'm playing well all the time and the way the game works allows me to rarely tilt or play badly in any session, which is usually a big factor in large downswings occurring in any other game for me.
This is a pretty important shift in my poker career. I've gone from one of those people who can make a decent living from poker to someone who can become actually rich from playing it.

Does this mean you are going to charge me more for our next session? :)

Nah, though probably will charge the next guy a mirrion.

How long have you been playing 2-7TD? I've been dabbling the last couple months on FTP and the games are laughable at lower levels even with my very limited knowledge. Do you play any 2-7TD NL HU?

Learned it 1-2 years ago but I took a long hiatus and got back into it when FTP introduced it.
I don't play any NL no, I don't think it's that interesting of a game because it's too costly to draw in that game.

Very impressive results, and long may it continue. Good Luck.

wow...impressive, would love to hear more of your thoughts about 2-7 TD...any suggestions for people just starting out playing it?

Watch Triple the Gold. Pretty much try to play pretty tight-straightforward especially OOP. You can never lose too much money make some tight folds OOP but you can lose a lot with loose calls.
