Something New!

Hey guys,

have been discussing making a new potential website with a friend. Watch this space because we might be launching something epic!

taking a break

Haven't played in the last 3 weeks. Probably won't be playing for a little while, just got too much going on in the real world and i think its time to face the facts that poker isn't a healthy form of income in the long term. Uni exams coming up in November. If the love returns i might throw some dollars online, but at the moment that doesn't seem to be too likely.

Small break but getting back into it.

Got started on ipoker under my stake and basically ran like death, dropping 4.5 buy ins over ~2000 hands. Decided to take a break for a week and just get my head straight. Having restarted i've won back ~ 8 buy ins so im currently +$140 excluding rakeback. The below graph pretty much shows everything.



Feel like im playing well and im only playing 4-6 tables which has greatly helped my hand reading and concentration. Hoping to play another 25k hands this month which means a dash over 1.5k hands a day. If i can do this and turn it into a 1k month before rakeback id be happy.

Decent few days

Withdrew a chunk of my money on friday and deposited a fresh 80. Played NL5 till $150 then hit NL10. Been playing well and the results have followed.



I guess the plan at the moment is to just keep grinding and try make enough to cover all my current expenses. I figure if can win about another $300 i should be ok so thats the plan for this week.

Small change for the moment.

Ipoker started acting a bit funny last week. I tried to deposit some rakeback and they claimed to not be allowing moneybooker deposits. After all the shit that has happened with Eurolinx etc i really wasn't in the mood to be stiffed $600 so i withdrew my money for the time being until things smooth over. Really don't seem to be able to trust anyone but pokerstars these days. Anyway on that note i decided to deposit $100 on stars just to keep my game fresh and try rediscover why its so easy to make money at the nano stakes vs 50nl. Obviously the standard is much higher at 50nl but i just can't seem to be able to hold my shit there lately. Anyway on my first day i managed to pull in a nice 15 buy ins lol whlst running $15 under ev.



Following that i was rolled for NL10. Naturally i start off woefully getting KK vs AA 5 times across the next 3k hands. (Winning one though). Seriously ran so bad. EV shows a small amount of this but not nearly enough of the gross coolers and people who turn ridiculous gutshots on me etc. Anyway enough whinging.



Overall im pretty happy with the volume i've logged recently. 12 tabling (with dashes of 15 tabling when the mood strikes me) really does help increase the number of hands u can play! Going to try get the roll to $300 by the end of August. It currently stands at $232.

Swings

Haven't played too much NL50 recently but what i have played has been swingy. Had a solid day yesterday winning $300 in about 1k hands but from the 150 hands i played thing morning i was on the receiving end of probably the worst beat ive had in a while. Flopped straight with 67 vs a donk slowplaying QQ, all in on the flop only for him to turn the set and river quads. FML!

Feel like im playing better though and am looking forward to actually logging some decent volume this week, especially this weekend. Time to make this shit count!

<3 rakeback.

Stakeaments

Started my stake about 5 days ago and its been a fairly swongy start. Have run quite bad overall. Having had AA 27 times im down $15 which is pretty disgusting. After rakeback im about $75 in the green so its not all bad. Hopefully this week is a bit better.
