From the desk of MC:
So i started off yesterday with my standard $22+1 HU game, i did not play well... steaming a little i thought about upping the stakes and clicked on a 30+1.5 HU match, upon getting dealt 3 cards i looked up and realized i was playing Limit Stud H/L.... this is a grinding game, there are no real swings and as long as you can draw to a low, you should stay in the hand... at least that's what my opponent felt, so it was pretty easy to pick up the very small pots when it was clear he had no low... i maintained a 1600 to 1400 chip lead for what felt like forever.... finally, i took down a pot where there was no low and i made the nut flush... so we were at 2k v 1k... GC came along to watch and offer some "dude, Stud H/L? I have no idea how to play this game -- but you're running well, how's that for a reverse jinx?" commentary.
Eventually with my chip lead, I just chipped away at him, taking down a full house with no low and leaving him with about 150 chips. we got AIPF, i had wired Q's, 9 up and he had split 9's with a Jack. i paired an Ace to solidify and take it down. Up $6 on the day, and called it a night -- BR $102

I've done that before...wanted to raise, but found I could only minraise because it was a limit game. That irritated me a lot. Good job on taking it down. I'm running pretty cold now..at $9.
Quick update for DC:
I won a 10$ HU tuesday evening to bring my BR to 118.70$. will be playing some tonite if anyone wants to play HU.
