With Monday night currently being Poker night in the Vincent household, I managed to play five STTs last night. As I only had 8 FPPs to get to clear my WSOP bonus (I know that was in July but I have only been playing $5.50 tables) on Pokerstars, I played my first ever $11 NL Holdem STT as well as a $5.50 Omaha HL STT. I have played $11 MTTs before with little success (including one of Wil Wheaton's Friday night specials) but this turned out to be far more successful as I won it and, although I blinded out of the Omaha STT, this meant that I made over $100 profit on that bonus.
So I promptly took my profit and placed it into Titan Poker. I have been meaning to have a go on Titan for some time but their levels of traffic are very low during UK daytime hours. However on a Monday evening the traffic seemed to reach a reasonable level and I thought it was worth a toe dip.
Not in the mood for too expensive a introduction, I started with a $1 6 handed NL Holdem STT. It turned out to be tough little game with everyone certainly playing for the (small amount of) money. Unfortunately I got little in the way of cards and blinded out in third or fourth (only first and second get the money).
Not to be downtrodden, I registered for a $2.40 10 handed NL Holdem STT and a $5.50 6 handed Omaha HL STT. I much prefer 10 handed for STTs, you get a little more time to think (which suits my playing style) and that extra money place makes a lot of difference. As it went, I came second in the hard fought Omaha STT (making $9) and won the Holdem STT (making $10), so I ended up $9.90 for the evening on Titan which was not a bad start really.
My first thoughts on Titan are:

1. The Titan software is pretty damn good. The response time after making a play is very good and the look and feel of the table are good too. It is miles above the dreadful software that Pacific Poker has (which was why I took my money out of their system).
2. The players seem to be a reasonable level, from these initial games. Maybe a little above the standard you would expect from low money tables - however they won't be bluffed easily.

I certainly will be spending some time on Titan from now on, maybe I will start playing the $5.50 Jackpot STTs.
