I'm sure there's some +/-EV there for Rail Bucks somehow, I'm no mathematician so there are no formalas or calculations here I'm afraid. Those of you who know me well enough will certainly know that I ... http://likey.co.uk/2009/06/rail-bucks/ I may have been a bit ambitious saying I would play 10,000 hands this month, so far I have only managed 3500 hands at $50NL and a pathetic 1250 hands at $25NL.
