Yes I play at Hollywood poker now (Poker room).
I've not really had much luck since I left, bu tthis was mainly because I was playing on Full Tilt too...I was having the sickest beats there. I cleared $500 in bonuses but was still $500 down from my initial deposit when I took my cash out

The two weeks after I did that, I was up $1400. I was upto $4750 so I felt I had the bankroll for 200$ NL.
Last night I took the leap, however it was probably the worst night i've ever had.
AK would never hit, and when it finally did it was an 6KK flop and of course I was against 66.
I was beaten by an endless amount of coolers. Constantly reraised preflop when i'm holding QQ or KK. Absolutely terrible...
Since yesterday and STILL today i'm constantly flopping 2 pair on harmless non-drawing boards and going up against sets. It's sick, but hey, poker isn't poker without the downswings.
I've been playing for 2 hours and I can't remember the last time I hit a set, yet it seems everyone who calls against me hits them
I'm probably another $200 down today and it gets worse...i've gone from being $1400 up for the month to $200 or so down in the space of 24 hours

More annoyingly i've bought a new 22" monitor, and spent £120 on nights out over the last fortnight out of my winnings for the current month - and then this happens

And to Toddswain, no I've not gone back to PKR and never will! The only thing I miss about it, is the fact my profits were fairly consistant and the players were all pretty weak (apart from a few). After the terrible run of form on there, I probably would have just taken a break from it for a month, but the way customer support treated me made me never want to give them any of my cash ever again.
I did try a tournament out of my leftover points, but going from playing 6 tables at a time at Hollywood to the one, extremelely slow PKR table I could see the world of difference and ended up just donking out for the fun of it
