Lately poker has been up and down (par for the course). I have not been playing as many hours as usual for obvious reasons. The td games have been pretty crazy. My sng's haven't gotten much better, although I finally took one down last night in a pretty quick game. I was actually down to about 200 chips in the second level when I proceeded to double up multiple times and finally do some damage. Tonight I had a great session playing NL cash games, and RAZZ.
Look at this ridonkulous razz hand:
