I wouldn't limp call with 5 high. Hand 2 difficult to put down though, esp at 4nl.

In Response to Re: The September diary:

Well, got it up to £1k playing 4nl, was not really fussed about moving up. Personally no real need to make bigger money at 8nl/10/nl20nl etc. It was (and still is) more like a pass time, some people play Fifa or cod, some people read books or DJ etc I just played/play 4nl - almost like a habit to the point it wasnt about the money, just outhinking other people (granted its not hard at 4nl) Just realised at £1k I would have a pop at 8nl to see if I could beat it.

You might have no need to make bigger money, but do you not get an urge to improve your own game rather than just play the mechanical stuff at nl4?

Nah not really, like back in the day of N64 Goldeneye etc

Completed it on easy, never had any desire to try medium or hard.
