PXF Beta No Longer, AngryClec, UB Update

PokerXFactor.com is now online. It's not longer a beta. To recap: PokerXFactor (phase 1) will turn your hand histories into animated Flash movies.

Right now we have a bunch of people posting hands that qualify for the "Great Play" or "Bad Beat" leader boards, but I'm looking for some interesting hands that have educational value for a special little project. ;-) Please post some of the difficult hands you have played ... something you might want some feedback on.

AngryClec moved up to third on the Extreme Tilt Leader Board yesterday. He's just 50 points behind DoubleLucky and 149 behind Leggggggy. Can he catch them as time slips away?

UB continues to do some interesting things. Annie Duke is posting daily on PocketFives and announced that they will be introducing a weekly $500 tournament after the Stone Cold Nuts tournament on January 15th. We've discussed here a lot of things they need to do (satellite flexibility, bonus dollars for tournament players, auto-save for hand history, etc.) but they have a nice line up of weekly tournaments now and the best software interface ... things are looking promising. Now follow thru please UB!

Last night was a bit frustrating. I was doing well in all four tournaments I was in and made the final table in ecrew, but faded in the others. In the 7:40pm $100 (a new tournament), I was in the top ten for much of it -- and I didn't go card dead, I just missed flops, couldn't steal much, and lost slowly chip after chip to go out 30th. Had my KK lose to AA and AQ lost to AK sort of thing against smaller stacks. Still, it's nice to be chipping up early. I went thru a long run where I couldn't do that, so there is some progress there.
