Unless they've added it since my alert email from Full Tilt Poker, I did not see a 7 card stud event. There was a 7cs hi/lo event, but not standard 7 card stud. So lame. I'd have driven to a local Internet hot spot and played it, most likely.
Just makes no sense. I know they're not the most popular in the world, but the 7cs event at Poker Stars WCOOP ended up with double the guaranteed prize pool, and I know Full Tilt has a very solid player base in the 7cs rooms.
Just doesn't make sense to me. Loss of money for FTP. If you spread the ring game, include it in FTOPS!

Movers = Gold
Another life update. We've been in the new house for a little over a week now. We paid a moving crew to get us over here. All we had to do was box up the belongings. They loaded and unloaded everything, and even set our beds back up. Great service! The new house has an upstairs and we had some heavy arse furniture going up and I really wasn't enjoying the idea of hauling that up there with the aid of family members, especially since family members don't agree to pay for a wall if they take it out with a bed rail.
We're on day 9 out of 90 or so without cable internet and no T.V. I miss not being able to watch some football or poker shows. I hear the WSOP HORSE event is pretty darn interesting this year. Seems they barely even covered it last year.
I suppose I could always load up Madden on my playstation and run a demo game or two to get my football fix. Ya just never know how nice modern conveniences are until you are without them.

New Updates on PSORG
We've been busy as bees on the poker forum lately. Here's a partial list of some of the recent updates.
We've added some skill games, including a Spades Rules and Tips section, and a Rummy Strategy section. If anyone reading knows good rummy or spades strategy, I'd be happy to pay you to write an article or three for us. We're also considering adding a Mahjong section. Any game that is skill, like poker, we'd love to add it.
We also added a texas holdem poker download section with the most commonly downloaded online poker software listed.
We kicked off a contest drawing, and anyone who is interested can win a free copy of Poker Tracker. Just look over the contest page by hitting that poker tracker link, and email me to signup.
Finally, we've added a couple of new rakeback programs. The first one is Cake Poker Rakeback. Cake is growing fast, and has some of the juiciest NLHE games around right now, not to mention some pretty nifty promotions. We also launched our Carbon Poker Rakeback program. Carbon is on the old Poker.Com network, and is the very first chance for players to earn Merge Gaming Rakeback. Even if you already have a Carbon account, we can still get you rakeback on this network. Just email me, poker [dot] strategy [at] gmail [dot] com.
Oh, and a finally to the finally. I wrote a long article on 7 card stud HU heads up strategy. I earn a solid win rate using this strategy in games through $5/$10.
That's about it. Comments and ideas are always welcome!

Life Update
We're officially home owners. Woohoo. :)
This week has been a ton of work, cleaning and then painting every square foot of the place. It looks great though, and I'm lucky enough to have family and friends that are willing to lend a helping hand.
We move officially on Oct. 15th, and still have some packing to do. Updates here will probably be sporadic, as I haven't even had time to play poker, much less talk about it.
The only thing I don't like about this new house is that we'll have to wait 30-90 days for cable internet and TV. Comcast noted that the end of the wire was 500+ feet away, so they're going to have to go through the process of renting the poles on which to run the cable line.
I'm able to connect through my phone, and actually get a pretty darn good connection through it, relatively speaking, at about 200 KbPS. A bit pricey, but I've never had a phone that was more versatile than the Pocket PC 8525.
Anywhoooo. 200 Kb per second is plenty fast enough to play poker. Good thing I don't watch much T.V. though. Leslie will be going through Oprah withdrawals I bet...
To all the Absolute Poker 7cs players, good luck at the tables. The 4th street percentage should jump a bit with me not there. :)
