Played some random games last night to alleviate boredom. Lost two $5.50 HU SNGs, failed to cash in two small $5.50 PTipper tourneys and made some ok money playing 2-7TD and 5CD. I think I ran good (or my opponents ran bad) but I had a lot of fun. Just tried to use basic knowledge to beat the mostly rubbish players around me and it seemed to go ok.

2-7 is not a stress-free game. Twice I rivered a guy (once I stood pat on the last draw with something like 97532, he stood pat, I checked to him and he checked behind with K5432; the other time I drew one on the river and hit a K but he paired). A very volatile game.

PL5CD I enjoyed more. I wouldn't say I was particularly great at it, I just used what I know to try and do something (not drawing with bad odds, inducing a few bluffs from people drawing 1 with big two pair etc.) It was an enjoyable diversion (one I'm indulging in right now) but I don't know how profitable it would be long-term.
